We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Vanya's an elf, so she could still technically be alive. I don't think I want her to be, though. She'll have already done more than her share by then.

Immortals have some serious things to deal with before they are used. I personally enjoy thinking about it, but it's a slippery slope. She would have legendary in every skill at the least so that's scary enough.

Not necessarily, but she'd likely have become an exceptional stoneworker for an elf since that was what Mr Frog taught her so she could support herself while working for him.

She only gained a few levels in stone worker over a thousand years? What was she doing the whole time, Stargazing?

I liked using her because she wasn't overpowered. I'm having to really stretch in the next few chapters because she's starting to act more awesome and it just feels... fake. lol    I don't want her to still be around. Maybe she's still alive... but she won't be at the fortress. She's played her role, I feel. (or will have, when I finish her story.)

Maybe her kids, or grandkids, or great grandkids.

Over a thousand years?? Yeah, no, I'll just drop her and her family line from the story completely. lol   But knowing her, the stargazing thing is entirely possible.

She was competent or skilled if I recall right. Not very high, and she's spent years not doing stonework so she's probably very rusty by the end of her big adventure. Top that off with being an elf and if she managed to become a legendary mason it'd be worth noting. And I'm gonna probably max the gen at a few hundred years, to max out the amount of other hostile civs surviving.

And like before, military service is going to be for life, and possibly a requirement. A hardened populous able to meet any threat without too great a risk of morale or horror/terror collapse will be needed to face the spawn.

@ Talvieno - It's possible that she's growing into awesomeness by mistake, as many in Dwarf Fortress often do. 

[Mr Frog]

Trash golems are now in an acceptable state. They have a non-zero chance of making it through worldgen and can usually be killed by a squad of 30 decently-skilled dwarves in iron gear (although they tend to suffer heavy casualties). The new pulping mechanic helped a lot in this regard, as it's now possible to kill it by obliterating its lower body instead of getting a (very) lucky shot at its core. I also learned that rapid-fire attacks are terribly powerful; simply reducing the prep time of one of its attacks by 1 was enough to render it completely unstoppable.

I'm going to keep on tinkering for a bit, but should I post the current raws as they exist here for others to try out?

Why not, give a reason for your mod thread to live.

And interesting avatar by the way.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Mr Frog, I think your account's been hacked! Ppft! Good job, quit messin' with me though! ;P ( Nah, I know you're messing with Talvieno. )

[Mr Frog]

Trash golems can be found here. I want to implement Talvi's suggestion that I give them variable limbs, but the Spawn take priority so I'll focus on updating those next.

And interesting avatar by the way.

Heehee, thanks. I made it myself.

Pardon me, but I'm a bit dumb right now (must be the summer heat) and I'm not sure what you're talking about here :V

[Splint]

Remember, the spawn need a good balance of lethality. Recruits will be torn to pieces while heavily regimented soldiers will be able to match them blow for blow.

Vanya's an elf?

EDIT: Rough version of a typical Ballpoint Technology Contractor's armor and attire. Yes, a tie is part of it, you'll know where it is and can tell as such. The gun is the Dwarven railgun, and the design Dorf!Mr Frog would be familiar enough with to copy.

I know this is quite old, but seeing as there's an active discussion going on here I don't really feel too bad about it. I wanted to say that I love the crossbow trigger on the railgun

I'm only on page 48, but this has been quite a lovely read so far. As far as I'm concerned, I would spend actual money on an actual novel written by Hans, Tal, Mr Frog, and/or Splint.

Really? Comeon, the facts that shes tall, covers her ears and has little-to-none facial hair dident tip you off?

Eeyup. Got it. I haven't let you down yet, have I? (Modding-wise, I mean.)

I've only read 6 chapters... :/
