An idea: maybe no castes for dwarves, but various food interactions that provide temporary stat boosts?

...Or even temporary caste changes. But I have no idea how attribute and skill gains, or even happiness for that matter, transcend such transformations.

If you'll have no castes, dwarves won't breed.

What I meant is, have only the male and female dwarf caste, with [POP_RATIO:50] each, and all the fancy specialized castes with [POP_RATIO:0]. And some food, drink or workshop reaction interaction to temporarily or permanently transform them into a member of those castes. Would that work, or it would just give us a Stray Urist McSteelDwarf (Tame)?

[Deon]

It would, but it would be a hell to manage. I actually have a specific caste system in mind already.

[POP_RATIO:0]

actually doesnt work. It sets back to default and they definetly appear in worldgen. 1 is the lowest you can do.

[Deon]

I actually plan to add caste-specific profession names for easy identification of castes. I'll see how it works.

[Sprin]

Wait are we still gana have steel dwarfs and moss and ect.?
(If allready in sory havn't goten to download yet)

[Deon]

Not yet, I haven't decided which caste system do I want to have yet.

[Deon]

I forgot to add that in 4.5 you also get treants and moths. You can breed moths like bees in hives and collect silk.

There's also a "philosopher" position which is the former psychiatrist. And the CMO is now called "sage". Time to start documenting a proper changelog.


I think "it works".

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I may shorten that to just "stone", "steel" etc. But I find it helpful to be able to see a dwarven caste at glance without going into description/DF Therapist.
You will also want to see some castes at glance because they will be very rare and have unique interactions. And different castes will turn into different constructs.

Special request: can some entity please have some weapon that uses wrestling skill? The token is [SKILL:WRESTLING]. Maybe some kind of hook-bladed knuckles, that can deliver either blunt backhand smashes, or shallow stab wounds with a high chance to be stuck?

Hmm... nunchucks? You can strangle with nunchucks. Or "ball and chain" for blunt morningstar hit plus entangle(wrestle) enemies.

Did you really just add the caste name into the proffession names, because that is a somewhat really awesome idea. Kind of. How does it lood in the smaller unit screen under "v" ?

[Deon]

It looks good, especially if I make it (stone) instead of (stone clan).

[Meph]

lood = look.

I assume you changed the skill learn rates for your castes, which makes it neat to know who is who. I mostly do use natural skill, so the caste is clear by the high lvl. I thought about giving them custom profession names, for example the gem caste gets special names for gemcutter and gemsetter, but I figured that it would confuse people if they dont find the vanilla names anymore. Your solution looks really neat, although I think I will do it a bit differently. Caste could get a symbol in the profession names that are affected by the caste. Gem Savant gets (+) to gemcutter and gemsetter and jeweler for example, or a (c) or (*)... will have a look at how it looks ingame, but making it visible without needing to open the therapist/creature description is a really good idea.

I know this is probably a really stupid question, but what do I do with the file?

[Meph]

Unpack, thats all. Mod is already installed, just run the game.

It uses Winrar to unpack: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0

Hey Deon if you want some naming inspirations, I stumbled upon some Gaelic-to-English pages: http://www.mackinnon.me.uk/Faclair/G.html
