I can play human fortress,no mods REASON FOUND
« on: February 05, 2014, 01:32:47 am »

Knowing this forum this probably isn't unheard of

EDIT looking into it more it appears I can also play as goblins

ANOTHER EDIT the fact that there are no dwarves in the world probably has something to do with this

YOU GUESSED IT,ANOTHER EDIT it appears to be impossible to play as elves however,their stupid and filthy anyway

LAST EDIT apparntly I didn't remember making these civ's contrallable

I guess dwarves are extinct in your world, along with elves.

You can play with every civ by adding [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] -tag to their entity entry in entity_default.txt.

But that's modding and plus by elves I made another tiny world that ended up with elves and goblins and only goblins were playable

Sounds interesting. Can you post some pictures? Or maybe the save?

Normally, when a region has no dwarves from the beginning, fort mode should just be disabled. And when the region starts with dwarves but they die out during world gen you can still play as them in fort mode.

Fort mode without dwarves is highly unsual, so something else likely happened here. Like a bug or something.

It might be a duplicate raws glitch.  I had a troll fortress once because of that :o.

That's a lot cooler than my experience: Albatross Fortress!
It was flat-out unplayable, which made me sad.

Note that I have used battlecraft mod and my personal touch of giving dwarves cities but I didn't think that would make a difference

Unmodded, huh? Your entity_default file has [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag for every civilization. So with those raws you can always play as any civ you want. Right now your world has three civs: humans, goblins and kobolds. Dwarves or elves don't even exist. And you could play as any of them.

I've been thinking of making a mini-mod with all races playable, but I'd want them to have a little more variety.  Therefore, it would be a lot of work, therefore I haven't done it.

Alternatively, a mod with a lot of other races, sort of like a Masterwork-light (I don't like all the steampunk stuff in "vanilla" Masterwork), but again, that is a lot of work.  Ideally both together, but that is a lot of work plus a lot of work.

I will run the experiment to completion anyway, however. Even if the only reason why there is a punctured equilibrium in the fortress is because I have been brutally butchering babies
EDIT: I just remembered that dwarves can't equip halberds. That might explain why the squads that use them always die.
