Hey guys,
I'm coming back to Dwarf Fortress after a few years without playing and I'd like to ask a few questions, to enhance the game as I usually play it.
First things first : Is
the wiki not really updated anymore ? I find many articles refer to DF2014, and I expect the last version to be mentioned as DF2016... no more wiki ?
Anyway, I usually mod out a few things so I can get/keep higher FPS, even with a full fortress.
I usually de-activate temperature and/or weather and lower the max number of dwarves (is it still 200?).
Are there other "minor" things I could de-activate/lower to make things smoother ? (other than embarking in a small area without a river)
Also, I usually find it sad that, normally, there are very few number of attacking/besieging factions/races (so I always end up attacking human/elvish caravans in the hopes they send sieges afterwards). Are there good more with other races, not too weird (no fliers, preferably), but different from the goblins/kobolds, that will add some sieges ?
(I mean, of course there are... but what is a good mod with 2-5 new races, so it's not overwhelming 12 new races, and not disapointing "goblins-but-blue, elves-but-purple" ?)
Also, I don't remember because It's a long time ago, and I usually didn't play with it :
How are water dynamics, now ?
If I plan to have a dam with a valve at the bottom that will open on sieging enemies, will it flow so fast that it will crush em, or will I be disappointed and should do it with lava ? :p
