I'm doing that now, because I need to anyways, and then I'll post it in a spoiler

Edit: Is this the command that allows a warlock to re-gain control of a skeleton?

The manual mentions luring caravans with the emissary, but I only see options to bait armies, was this feature removed or moved elsewhere?

The luring caravans reaction is in the Tome of Sator, for no apparant reason.

There is a thread all about modding questions. It is in the DF modding board. People who know how to mod frequent that thread to answer questions. I suggest you direct these questions towards them.

[bennerman]

It was for this mod, but alright

[drayath]

Was just start a new game, after a few accidents (well mistress punching all the other warlocks to death due to missing a couple of mandates and then going insame due to loss of friends! Next time remember 5000 agility/strength may not always the the best option)

Made a couple to raw change that others might want; Note they don't product errors but have not all been tested in game. (rember to add any new reactions as a PERMITTED_REACTION in entity_warlock.txt)

Extra uses for slaughtered megabeasts (or mega-souls retrieved from archeology). Scalps and ritual ingredients.

What this all does.
Summoned mephits now start as a special Unstable Mephit caste that has no abilities. Warlock then grant them the ability to transform to a random caste, and the transform gives them the correct spells.
As an extra bonus there is a 2000 tick wait before the mephits start converting. This means that they don't immediatly unload all their spells on your starting skelletons before the warlock take control of them (killing off your warlocks in the aoe effects).
Note that if after a short while on embark mephits are still trying to kill a skelleton, you might want to kill off the skeleton before the mephits gain spells (select skeleton, in dfhack console enter: killitwith gravity)
For safety consider pasturing them a bit away from your citizens, and if you have fire mephits they WILL set the map of fire the first time an animal comes near so consider digging a fire break, or at least keeping flamably stuff off the surface.
This also makes them show up on the animal list, and they can be marked as butcherable.

This is done as a mimimal set of changes, and could be cleaned up a lot (warlocks presently summon specific different mephit types that now all summon the same caste mephits, that automatically gets converted to one of the random mephit castes)

Anyone know what part of the raws causes skeletons to go "feral" when they aren't near a warlock?

I created a unit and now it isn't working :<

[Kiefatar]

My latest fort got killed pretty quickly. Things were starting well enough, but then I had a triplet of Frost Giant Thieves come in. Even with Ironbone weaponry axes, pitchforks and the ilk, I couldn't actually damage them. Then a minor Invasion of Drow Shieldbearers finished the job, this was all before a year is out... invasions seem to be pretty quick for all I hadn't even started raiding. All I did was kill off a few Kobold Merchants.

Few things... Summoning Pets via Demonic Attorney aren't listed in pets field for me. Also, a bunch of shambling, non-hostile to life skeletons went and attacked a hell beast I had summoned. Lots of problems with skeletons, raised dead and the ilk going hostile to various things from time to time, even warlock specific entities.

Can I feed souls to my ghouls for the bonus stats? Workshop Profiling didn't seem to work, but maybe I didn't have the correct skill enabled?

As far as created skeletons, is there any way to shift them from Shambling to a named skeleton? They seem to work fine, but still are relegated to shambling status.

Also, Though Ghoul Master can be assigned through the military screen, Cryptlord (skeleton variety) can not.

Sorry guys I am still travelling, so I cant do any changes atm. But I love the feedback, and I promise to use it to clear up the mentioned issues. I myself also had a few ideas for Warlocks, and drayath fixes look very nice indeed, thanks for them.

Shambling is just a name, you can rename them like any other unit.

Hey Meph, I'm making a lore-friendly solution to the lack of warlocks. Just wondering if you can tell me what in the raws determines when you lose control of skeletons? I should have a solution posted by tonight or tomorrow (I'm done with the unit, but other skeletons stopped losing control)

Skeleton castes have the tag [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE]. Creatures that are opposed to life cannot be controlled in fort mode, even if they are still technically a part of your fort.

Warlocks have a number of interactions that can remove the [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] tag for a period of time, which will allow you to control your skeletons again. They also have an interaction to power pylons, enabling the pylons to control skeletons for a time.

The skeletons themselves have a one-use interaction that prevents them from turning for a short time, so that you don't immediately lose control of them the moment they appear.

So it's not any specific interraction that gives them opposed to life? It just sort of appears over time?

[BlackFlyme]

So it's not any specific interraction that gives them opposed to life? It just sort of appears over time?

They start off already opposed to life, it's that the interactions remove it temporarily so that you can control them. So long as there is a warlock or an active pylon nearby, the interactions that prevent them from turning will get constantly re-applied. If a skeleton goes without contact with a pylon or a warlock for an extended period of time, then they lose control.
