More questions:

What are the results of [ELECTED] plus [SUCCESSION:something] in fortress mode? Do they:

• Get unelected every so often, and then replaced by their successor?
• Hold the position, get succeeded by the successor, and only have an election when there is nobody there?
• Hold the position, but get a replacement elected instead of SUCCESSION?
• Just plain get unelected and a replacement elected?

Also, is it possible to have a non-military [SQUAD:*]?

EDIT: Also, #3: [ELECTED] plus [APPPOINTED_BY:*] = ?

EDIT2: #4 [APPOINTED_BY:offsite noble] = ?
EDIT3: derp. ^= doesn't appear until that noble does.

I recall there are some quirks with this thought, but I forget what I read about accomplishing it.

My goal is to have a set of animals that as much as possible are limited to being brought via trade by one entity. I recall that the only way to accomplish that is some tag-fu with [GOOD]/[EVIL] tags but I do not quite remember how to do that. Anyone know how and or have a better method to accomplish this?

Adding COMMON_DOMESTIC, PET, NO_(season names here), and a BIOME tag that places them in the same spots as the civ in question should do the trick. But if say human civ took over that civs town then those humans would have access to those pets

Okay, I'm having a slightly weird bug here...
I decided to restructure my MLP pony file to be a bit more... sane... as it uses 11 copies of each of the 8 castes for genetic diversity, and i had every single caste wrote out in full the end result was a creature file for one creature coming in at nearly a meg in size.

The new file is more condensed, but it also came with a problem. Ponies now refuse to wield things with their [GRASP] mouth.
They can still carry things, but no weapons, axes or picks in fortress mode. Which means no lumberjacking and no mining.

Are there any special considerations i need to be aware of when using the [GRASP] tag?
the interresting thing is that the old version of the creature file works fine, despite using the same body file and the same BP layout.

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

does the creature have [EQUIPS]?

[Sorcerer]

Aha! that did the trick! Silly oversight on my part i guess, thanks for the quick reply!

[Sorcerer]

ooor so i thought! tho it seems i had the old file active when i did my test -_-

new file has [equips] and still won't pick up anything... They are wearing tons of clothes tho.

I guess there might be an issue with the BP or something, but the two files are using identical [BODY:] tags, but in the new file i use alot of [SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE] to set em up.
Any other ideas as to what might be causing my ponies lack of wanting to mine?

EDIT:

Oh wow.. that was a silly bug...

Turns out i had forgotten a zero in the [BODY_SIZE:] Tag for adults, and as they matured they actually shrunk down to 15000 units, too small to weild an axe XD

Hello again comrades.

Is it possible to make sure civilizations will always be at war with each other? Like a constant deathmatch/everyone for himself ?

Hello again comrades.

For two civilizations, just give one of all the [ETHIC:*:ACCEPTABLE] tags, and the other all of the [ETHIC:*:UNTHINKABLE] tags for the same issue. This will cause them to make war with each other whenever they feel they can.

For more civs, you would have to find a balance.

See here for more info on ethics: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Ethic

Also, spheres might do something, and making the civ like the other civ's sites might make them conquer more.

Remove CAN_SPEAK or give UTTERACNES (causes no names or gibberish names)
Add BABYSNACHER, ITEM_THEIF to the civ for them to be hated by all

or can play russian roulette with setting ethics to complete opposites and hope they wage war and hope they don't sign a peace treating during your time of play

What does the [MATERIAL_SIZE] tag do? I'm trying to make small weapons for my squirrel civ, but can't seem to figure that out.

[Putnam]

MATERIAL_SIZE changes the amount of bars required to make the item, at a rate of size/3

Worn equipment (clothes/armor/jewelry etc.) will automatically be sized, you'll want to make a small version of weapons tho. The tag you'll want to adjust is [SIZE]

[Lord Allagon]

OK, thanks. Is there a [GRASP] tag like it was in 31.25? I can't seem to find it.

Yes. It is on body parts
