No, but there is a workaround* with CE_DISPLAY_TILE. False migrant waves, definitely not. Sieges are too obvious. False caravans, definitely possible and I look forward to see if you can do that.

*Gives dwarves an interaction that will give your disguise race a CE_DISPLAY_TILE of Ñ or whatever and OPPOSED_TO_LIFE or whatever.

[Grim Portent]

Is it possible to make a race that generates the physical form of it's members randomly in the same way as clowns, forgotten beasts (<-- really tempted to call them furbies for some reason) and night creatures?

[scamtank]

No, the randomization scripts are still hardcoded. If you look inside the executable, the triggering tags are in legible raw format, but they do nothing when stuck in the normal raws.

I guess you could write a script that generates random body raws for lots of different castes of a creture.

[killran]

Is there a way to edit an attack so that it only targets a specific body part of attacked creature? (e.g. making a wolf's bite attack target only the legs of a creature if available)

[Putnam]

No.

[scamtank]

Some underlying mechanism to steer targeting is in the code, though. Latching bites that target the head have a chance of locking around the throat instead.

That did it. Thanks.

Is there a way to change what words are used to describe a profession/labor in-game? I was thinking I would take a skill I could combine with another, like brew and cook, maybe, to free one up to be named something else for my magic system. I am also not against using DFhack, if that would make it more feasible. Well, I thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, but brewing and cooking are both hardcoded, so...

Also, there's always [CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME:PROFESSION:singular:plural].

What effect does giving multiple castes of a creature [FEMALE] and [MALE] have? i.e. three female castes and three male castes. Would they crossbreed perfectly well?
