Oh, ok. Looking forward to this!

[OREOSOME]

oh. You might want to change the OP of your mod, it doesn't mention those other civs.

Thanks for that catch.  If you have any ideas for background to any of those, go ahead and post in the mod's thread.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

It looks like embark 3 has won, so now I want to ask what we should embark with.  Anyone may contribute.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Considering noone has posted anything, should I just use my best discretion?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'll take a drake, ideally a European dragon or some other dragon subspecies similar to a gold dragon. Name him/her/it GreatWyrmGold. GWG likes pearls and other gems, as well as gold, and wants to slay evil (exile) dragons for a living. Profession would ideally be something ludicrously unmartial.

Done.  Don't want a turn I take it. 

[GreatWyrmGold]

...Sure, I'll take a turn, what's the worst that could happen?

Added.  And don't tempt the Terrifying/Joyous Wilds embark.  I don't want to have us killed by Zombie Giant Unicorns....

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, I mean what's the worst that could happen to ME.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

To you in reality?  Nothing much from this.
To the you in the fort?  A fate worse than death.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh?

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Oh?

Think about what is in an evil biome.  Add Untamed Wilds.  Odds are, there will be some sort of cloud, and I personally think being a husk or a thrall is a fate worse than death, wouldn't you say?

Anyway, to get off that line of thinking, what do you think should be changed from the normal "prepare for your journey carefully" embark?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Probably.

We need weapons, armor, and building materials, so that we can defend ourselves until we have a decent barricade. I recommend a few wooden blocks for workshops and some stone to turn into blocks and mechanisms. Aside from that, we should have plenty of food, seeds, and drink, but only minimal animals. A single cat and a turkey gobbler should be as much animals as we need; maybe two cats. We can ditch a lot of the stuff; we won't be setting up hunting for a while, for instance, so we can probably ditch the quivers, and we only need one battleaxe, if that. Maybe a couple miners, otherwise only bring one pick.

Oh, wait, we're in a half-good biome.
Well, bring enough rock to build a raising drawbridge and a lever to raise it ASAP, that way we can block off the world if a unicorn husk or something shows up.

So you are suggesting basically:
mining-type claw x1+ (replaces pick in mod)
regular stone x?
Building materials x?
armor x?
dragonic badger boar x1 (dragons don't have cats/turkeys in mod.  Due to size kids of these give 300 meat [will change])
dragonic badger sow x1
I feel like I should note that dragons have no ranged weaponry, so we must be ingenious in dealing with marks-goblins and their ilk.
