Yes, please give us Vikings and Ninjas and Knights.

Yes, but only if it doesnt take too much work.

Maybe better to only make one civ, as close to vanilla DF humans as possible.

No, I dont like it because it doesnt fit a procedually generated fantasy world.

No, I dont like it, because... (please post the reasons)

If I lower the amount of coins you get in the mint, people would just forge the coins instead.

Can you send me the save with the workshops not changing? Or did that issue resolve itself?

Warlocks have minion-raids. Orc have corsair-raids. Not sure about other races, because i haven't played them yet.
What about Humans? Will their king have a special...activity? Conquest, or perhaps trade missions?

[Kiefatar]

I haven't been able to save a human fort, or start a new one on an existing map. I've had quite a few bugs with the .2 release. It's far less stable than other MW releases it seems.

personally, i have no problem with human trading, even though it seems broken, it adds another layer of dufficulty to humans... trying to discover a viable trade system by balancing the caravan traders and the local sovereign accepting traders.... makes me feel alot more like a merchant empire (even though it's illusory) than any of the other races

Let me make a mint and see what it actually produces before I comment more on that. There's still a crapload of things I haven't tested yet, such as the altar and whatnot.

I already deleted all those saves, but I will see if it happens again.

No.

Say what again? You cant save? What happens?

[Kiefatar]

I try and save and it crashes immediately. Attempting to start a new fort in a previously used map causes the game to hang for a significantly long time and eventually crash/no-respond. I know it takes awhile to load a map sometimes, but I'm talking about letting it sit for 10+ minutes (my computer is just shy of super-computer in power) before calling it dead. I've had a few other CtDs too, though they seem a bit more random.

Actually, when I went to start the .2 Human Fort release I first have to fix a graphics issue. The 16x16 Phoebus graphics were mislabeled (png not jpg or something). Not a big issue, just grab the file from one of the 5.10 MW releases, but still.

[Meph]

I have none of these issues, and they dont sound like they are something I could affect with modding. Load/Save times depend on your system, not the raws. Did you overwrite old versions with this new one maybe? What OS do you use?

The graphics issue is fixed now, I just havent uploaded it yet. Splinterz just send me the fix an hour ago.

Warning: Extremely large image. Contains all modded buildings humans have access to. I plan to make a flowchart with it. Its quite amazing seeing the scope of this thing.

That's so crazy. It NEEDS a flowchart.

When you first embark with humans, you see the limited structures they can build and you think they're weaker and less complex than all the other races, but very quickly in an image map like that you can see how complex they really are.

Meph, why don't you go write these 2,000 words on phytohormone auxins in vascular plant systems and I'll spend the rest of the day playing?

[Meph]

Are these indole-3-acetic acid phytohormones you are talking about? Sure thing, can do.

[Kiefatar]

Rather... just package it up and re-release the humans... I'd love to see some of these new changes and fixes. Maybe it will fix my attempts to play... but we'll see.

Yes. But make it funny for a children's story. The acetic acid phytohormones have to have a fun adventure!

My wife is now actually encouraging me to play DF. I have to write 2100 words per day to stay on schedule for the September release, and it seems when I take a break to play DF, my days are more productive.

I just posted a realase... V.03. Today.

Guthbug: Good luck. ^^ My productive days are filled with producing DF, not playing it.

Earthworks in the form of trenches and moats are cheaper, faster, and easier than walls. This allows you to save your building materials for the buildings.
