Foreword
Mortal Castle is my first mod that I have made, it isn't that great nor ground-breaking in any sort of way, but it is my first step in getting into modding. And with that said, one should always be on the lookout for the bugs and broken stuff that my dabbling skills would inevitably leave. Although Adventure Mode has been tried and tested, it isn't all that perfect, especially when it comes to Fortress mode.
If you see any problems, please don't be shy to message me!
(I credit people and explain some other stuff in the READMEPLS.txt file, please check it out)

Now what this mod adds isn't much, since the focus of the whole thing was to replace the 3 main races with Human factions (inspired from real-life Human cultures), so this does mean that there would be no Dwarves and of their fortress and hillocks. The snobby Elves and the thieving Goblins and Kobolds are also non-existent as well, replaced by Human (almost) counterparts.
Now the factions in mind are as listed:
Imperials[
Adventure]
[
Fortress]
The Imperial Culture is one of valiancy, courage in the face of death and heroism under the light of evil. The Imperials are natural-born militarymen, priding themselves as an enlightened society, while their soldiers exercise the art of unwavering discipline and their siege machines a signature of Imperial warfare. The Imperial Culture features the venerable
Scutum/ae, a shield unrivaled in it's ability to block attacks. The
Battering Spike siege machine is another prided equipment, slow but resistant and extremely useful in military engagements. The Imperial citizens are also naturally
courageous, and would commonly stand their ground in surely deadly situations. (which often presents not only a problem individually, but to the whole of their society).
(note: The Imperials also have their own unique language set (made by me), although at this stage, it is only 60% complete and would be updated along the way when I add more cultures.)
-
Xinais[
Adventure]
[
Fortress]
The elegant Xinai, one of the other venerable cultures, unlike the previously mentioned Imperials; the Xinai are a less-warfare acquainted society. Priding themselves in a more knowledgeable field, the Xinai are gifted
philosophers in the conventional fields of theory, and they are also masterful
weavers, their silk production a respectable and enviable industry. Not only that however, but they have also mastered the secrets of
gunpowder, which benefits their culture by being blessed with their new weapon of war,
guns.
-
Kuraks[
Adventure]
[
Fortress]
Men of the mountains, the Kuraks are a hardy lot. They claim descendance from the spirits of the mountain-tops, who have gifted their ancestors the ability to be able to navigate the rocky terrain with ease. Although crude, they are quite explosive and easily able to spread throughout the realms and challenge the other "higher" cultures in warfare and conflict. As is, they are not only
natural climbers, but adept
bowmen as well. Due to these traits, they are often widespread.
-
Norslavs[
Adventure]
The wild Norslavs, second only to the Venirs in savagery; the Norslavs are the staple of the tundras and the cold. Pale and fair-haired as they come, the Norslavs are men who have sufficely adapted to their malnourished and harsh environment. Which inevitably gives them an advantage in
melee combat. Their people are also gifted
Axe-users, with their Vikingr art of war being the most venerated asset of their untamed society.
-
Zabizis[
Adventure]
Refined and relatively antiquated, the Zabiz are a unique society, a culture of able
potters and colourful
dancers; their culture commonly revolves around the raw beauty of their harsh tribal world. Which shows as they are not only quite expert in the art of molding and dancing but as well as showing admirable aspects in their traditional
percussion instruments.
-
Quetzals[
Adventure]
The Quetzals are the spiritual natives of the land, whose ways are now facing unprecedented replacement by the other societies. Living in tree tops and forest retreats; the Quetzals are masters of not only
building design,
pottery but of exploiting nature through their refined
herbalist ways and charting the stars through
astronomy. They are also one of the few remaining cultures to utilize the
blowgun.
-
Laxidors[
Adventure]
[
Fortress]
The relaxed people of the jungles and the tropics, the Laxidors are a society whose friendliness and radiant predisposition is obviously stated. Although
disadvantaged at combat and warfare, they are considered to be one of the most able
conversationalist people in the realm; quick to form bonds and able to resolve conflict with reason and logic. Their advances in
mathematics and the proficient ability to
sing is certainly note-worthy as well.
-
Mazirs[
Adventure]
Originally a trader culture from the deserts, the Mazirs are men whose mercantile ways has laid a foundation to a greater civilizational capacity. Through the battering warmth of the dunes and the cruel searing heat of the desert, they are able to come out into the world stage as expert
swordsmen. And from their mercantile past, they are also gifted
negotiators, especially in trade; as well as receptive of the new ever-changing world to the point that they are great
students and
teachers.
-
UtoktonsThe First Men of the world, the Utoktons are the most primeval race in the face of the realm; now with their primitive culture and society facing outcastment and extinction to their more sophisticated cousins. Their
bone-carving ability is still quite a remarkable feature though.
-
Venirs[
Evil]
An outcasted race of Humans, who were driven out of their homelands and forced to live under the most unlivable conditions. The Venirs are the evil men of the realm, savage and evil not only in personality but in general appearance as well. They are commonly found toiling away in their dark pits, under the leadership of their own kin, or of
worser.

(note: The file downloaded would actually contain
4 files of Mortal Castle, which all can be played on their own. One is Mortal Castle installed on Vanilla itself, another with DFHack added. One of the other files are a modpack, which packs Mortal Castle with other mods.
