Is it still possible to make a civ die off early by giving it only 1 breeding couple at the start? Or is that tag removed?

It doesn't spit out an error but also doesn't respect it.

could you just reduce the max site population to 1?  or something suitable low?

[WillowLuman]

I want it to continue growing after founding a fortress, though. If I increase max pop numbers after world gen, will it respect it or will it stick with the originals?

Try pop_ratio of male:200, female:1 and they might die off quicker. Also a short lifespan, optional verylong childhood.

Is there a way to call wood blocks "planks"?

Go into the material template file, find the wood template, and give it [BLOCK_NAME:plank:planks]

Thank you! I was looking in plant definitions instead of material definitions. However wooden constructions are still called "Acacia Block Floor". Can I change that, too?

[scamtank]

No, that's hardcoded.

However, you can alter that specific text string with dfint.exe into a blank so it doesn't get mentioned. Stuff made from boulders or raw wood would still be called "rough granite wall" or "acacia log floor", but neater block/brick/plank/panel construction would be just "granite wall" and "acacia floor".

The string you're looking for is "| block|".

[WillowLuman]

Can I set childhood to be longer than max lifespan? Would that prevent worldgen reproduction?

[Repseki]

Can interactions be edited after World Gen, assuming you don't mess with to much, similar to reactions?

[Featheredragon]

I am trying to implement damaged/older weapons for some of my invading races. If I understand edges and damage correctly if I increase the edge size it would cause less armor penetration but more flesh damage; like for a Notched or Jagged blade? What exactly do all the numbers mean? I know one is edge width and I think one is base damage. How would I implement bent or broken weaponry?

[scamtank]

In no way with the tools you have. Tracking weapon wear via DFHack was a flash in the pan once, but nothing has come of it yet.

The closest option would be to add specific metals called "corroded xyz" or something with lowered stats compared to the real deal, but then you'd have to settle for your dwarves sometimes having a fetish for "damaged brass" and the traders of that race having senseless selections.

[Featheredragon]

Actually I was creating completely different weapons and allowing goblins to have them. Works fairly well I just want to know if making the edge larger will case less armor penetration and more flesh damage.

Also I am thinking on adding rusty/corroded metals and making "scavenger/pillager" races use them.

[scamtank]

Yeah, having specific shitty weapon types restricted to certain civilizations would work. Occurred to me right after I posted. Your moody dwarves could still come up with broken adamantine maces, though.

A larger edge just means the striking plane is longer. It can, gods of momentum willing, slash off bigger bodyparts and leaves bigger wounds with more pain and heavier bleeding, but the force of the blow is spread thinner. Chop a dude in the arm with a sword, and the pauldron could well break and leave the arm mangled. Make the same hit across the upper body, though, and you'll be hard pressed to even scratch the breastplate of same thickness.

Is it possible to make wood and stone block walls engravable or is it Hardcoded? In reality wood and stone carving was fairly common.
