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)

Another dumb question:
Is there any way for humans to process the special metals?
Steeloak, welded wolfram/mithril and volcanic comes to mind. I know I can grow steeloak, but what happens when it's harvested? Do I get a bar instantly?

Welded metals were removed several updates ago. Mithril and wolfram on their own were already good enough, the welded metals were just ridiculous.

[Ishar]

Well, can't argue with that, they were indeed very powerful.
My question still stands about volcanic. I know I can get it from dwarf sources, but can I use it? Humans lack the magma forge.

[Meph]

No you cant. Humans are not the great metalworkers that the dwarves are.

There some funny business with knight training in my fort. Then again, I'm running 6.0, so it might have been already solved.
The issue is, two of my squires turned into knights, then paladins, as it should happen. Then, a couple months after the paladin transformation, they turned into knights again, and right after that, bang, paladin again.
I don't think this is normal. Could it be an issue that I started the fort at 1/8 speed, and changed it to normal after two in game years?

[Meph]

That bug was fixed in 6.2.

So. i was using the gnome merchant, buying a mechanical spider, when i get the announcement that the person doing it has turned into an Unholy Ritual.
Should i kill them or what?
What is an unholy ritual?
What does it do?


:EDIT: Ok. so she turned about half of my fort into Summoned souls, and then into devils, before turning into a human again. Upon checking her, it said she had the appearance of being two hundred years old.
What exactly is she?
How do i get my new Devils to do the work they used to? they're only listed as Tame.

I quess that it's one of these !Secret! Fun features. Never encountered an unholy ritual myself, to be honest, so I can't really help you.

[Nickolai Don Bonavitch]

Great. so half my town has turned into sex fiends, i have no idea when it will happen again, and they are all useless now.
Hmm. Maybe i can military them.
Thy are listed as succubi now though. And Tame. I don't think they'll ever do any work.

Wait a few weeks/months, perhaps they will transform once again into usable civ members - if not, then better dispose of them. Who knows what trouble they might cause once another ritual is in place...

[Nickolai Don Bonavitch]

It looks like they do some work, but it doesn't say if they're doing it or not. A fisher-succubus wont say that hes fishing, even if he is standing at the shore, but raw fish will show up on the same tile. I cannot edit their labors, or draft them.

[There Is No Vic]

No you cant. Humans are not the great metalworkers that the dwarves are.

I know I was buying volcanic bars and doing something to end up with volcanic weapons and armor. Not sure how and my laptop is kaput atm. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

No they won't and it's not an hidden feature, apparently a reaction that should never happen in human mode ran into your town.

How could it happen, then? Is it fixable?

There is not much to do anymore, besides loading a previous save.

[Meph]

Weird... can it be that a visiting succubus merchant did those interactions?
