Caste names visible for Playing Races
« on: April 02, 2010, 01:30:22 am »

Toady has clearly gone out of his way to enable castes to be moddable to a fairly large degree...

Too bad it's almost impossible for us to tell who is in one caste or another.

I've been playing with modding this, and making a serpentine dwarf leaves me trying to figure out who is a snakedwarf and who is a regular dwarf by looking at the wounds page, because caste names don't seem to work.

Caste names should be somewhere obvious on the typical unit view screen.

I haven't touched graphics yet, but hopefully, there should be a way to have castes use different graphic tiles, as well, so that visibly very different castes can have different graphics.
