Hah, that's the spirit :). I see what you did here.

I have nothing special to say other than this looks like a nice mod but I don't see a pattern. I am just curious, did you invent the contents of the mod "on the fly" or is it a part of some setting in your head?

Let me explain, let's take my frigging mod which adds TONS of stuff. Right now I accept suggestions from people and add funny and cool things which work but it started as addition of human/elven/goblin subraces which were based on fictional subraces we used for tabletop dwarf fortress campaigns I ran with my friends. It was how I've made them to play DF. What's your story? :)

You should see the "Elf powered" medical school.

Well, it is a bit of both. I've been playing DF for a while now (4-5 years?) I can fondly remember the days of no Z-axis, and can remember when boatmurdered was a developing story. I've always modded little bits here and there. First few things were changing things like being able to play as humans, custom weapons, crazy races, pets, dwarves that breath fire, etc. A few weeks ago I began thinking about all the possibilities of custom buildings and reactions. All of those started coming together during a realllly long car ride where my brother and I talked about crazy, or neat things that could be modded into DF. So I started hammering things out that I thought would be possible to mod in, and this is the first round of things that were all functional.

I plan on adding ALOT more stuff (this is only version .21) I just figured that I would go ahead upload what I had so far for some feedback from the masses. My master plan is to finish putting in all the ideas I have, and then turn this into a set of individual mods where you could play as all the different races. Each race would only have access to certain buildings/reactions, therefore altering the play style for each race.

Oh that's good. If you have any general/specific questions, you can ask me anytime. I am here all the time, and there're other cool guys who can help you (if you need) :).

I asked because I wanted to know where did those strange names come from :). Are they random or is it some real/fictional language?

I know orcs and wargs come from other fantasy settings. The plant names for alchemy are alterations of names of synthetic fibers, acids,plastics, etc. I think everything else came from my own DF warped mind.

EDIT: oh, and Rattan is a real plant that is actually used to make wicker.

Sounds great! But, I think you should change the name of Wargs, maybe simply to Wolfmen? Or Mouls, like in that Pratchett novel?
Wargs as Orc steeds are too well-known among people familiar with LoTR (and there's many of them) to use this name for a new race.

The altars are a great idea. I demand it expanded.
It's too bad you cannot use live dwarves in reactions... and how about corpses?

Why no [HERBIVORE] tag?

Hrmmmm, I'll give it some thought.

I plan to expand on them.I will probably add more types of altars for the other races when I make them playable, and add more reactions to the altars current available. Any suggestions?

I actually wanted to only use certain parts of the body for each reaction. I was only going to use skulls for the soulstones, and only bones for sacrifices. Currently, there are some bugs associated with those type of reagents so I will probably go back and change it later. I wish I could use live dwarves (or live creatures) too. My plan was to make a small chance at Armok's altar that Armok would get displeased with some sacrifices, and instantly slay the dwarf.
