Looking to make a multi-race coalition for Fortress Mode.
« on: June 07, 2011, 02:56:31 am »

Pretty much, I'd like to make it so that my fort consists of dwarves, deep men, rock elves, and perhaps other underground-type races. Ideally, they'd all have their individual traits (Dwarves need alcohol and go into martial trances, humans and elves... Do whatever it is they're going to do), but I'd settle for just different names and body shapes.

I'm clueless about the current modding methods, but before I take the time off to learn them, I'd like to know if it's possible, and if so, what would need to be given up to make it happen. Or would I need to settle for picking up a utility to zap some migrants into the appropriate race?

I am fairly sure this would be possible, presuming all of them are capable of actually working and learning.

You can do via castes, but it'll be a bit funky, since you'll have dwarves giving birth to elves and such.

dfusion will allow you to do this with no need to edit the game as long as you add the race name to the list of creatures you want to play as.

Ah... Yes, dfusion should work nicely. Thanks for the information.
