My personal set up:
If I have Artisans, I USE them. If I have more than one, I specialise them as well. As to the disposition of the rest of the settlers it depends on if I have Uruks/Ronin/Ologs. If I have some, I leave the normal orcs to be producers mostly. If I don't, that falls to the snaga who otherwise would have been the start of an archery squad.

I don't use the Tribal Warcrafter that much unless I have very little iron, in which case lamellar leather is the main armour and my iron is saved to make steel. Leave the magic system for a while at the start - you aren't gonna get anywhere without the souls that only sieges/ambushes will bring.

Oh and build multiple Butchers and Tanners. You're gonna need them.

So, orcs don't strike me as creatures that would be particularly modest... what would I have to edit so that they don't get mad at not having clothing?

I think there's a dfhack script made for the succubi that you might be able to activate. Aside from that there's no raw nodding that can be done to do that.

[Fleeb]

Bummer. Any idea what that script might be called? I just skimmed the succubi thread and didn't see anything relevant.

I know there's something called fixnaked which I think removes it, but it only removes it one time and it will show up again pretty quickly. The one I'm talking about I think is similarly named. Based on how you asked rather than checked yourself you might not know that if you type 's into dfhack then it shows all the commands available so just look through that.

Type fixnakedregular in your dfhack console and you should be set.

Cool thanks! And yeah vjmdhzgr, the last time (before very recently) that I had played DF was like years ago, certainly pre-DFhack. I really haven't touched it before now.

I play orcs in one of two ways:

1. Primitive only, using bone and leather armor only and relying mostly on warfare to survive (no farms, no trading, etc.)

2. Ancient civilization recovering its majesty, in which I try to rebuild all of the ancient buildings and lost technology.

My personal favorite time is to try to recreate "the goblin caves" from The Hobbit, with all of the catwalks and platforms and such, but it requires a suitable cavern usually. And for whatever reason, the pathing usually leads to an early fort death due to FPS.

Can scalps be stockpiled? I thought I saw something about that in the manual, but I cant re-find it -_-

[Fleeb]

And how many scalps does it take to make a standard of honor?

[smakemupagus]

It seems we no longer have any enemies with BUILDING DESTROYER (in the old days Drow and Dwarves would both come with V.C.C.'s pretty often).  I wonder if we can convince the commanders of the forces of civilization to train up some more proper smashy warbeasts to attack us with

10 scalps, and a standard sized stack of cloth.

Every civ need one at least building destroyer. This is too easy to lock two doors and be done with it. The addpet script make it easy to setup.

Excellent, thank you!

I am interested in your all feedback on the state of balance for scalps/warbanners.  (I really like the system, but as some of you might know, it wasn't written by me and I'm playing with it for the first time now)

My inclination is to

* change the build requirements for caravanserai bazaars back to something that comes from raiding (e.g. captives)

* make the domestic warrior societies (jaguar/falcon/dragon/seawolf) a little simpler but require more scalps
** remove requirement to build codexes
** require a warbanner for each society wargear
** balance the number of scalps per banner to match (~5?  or is 10 OK?)
