The only way i managed to make war happen was by duplicating my human entity a few times, and make acceptable -> unthinkable combinations in their ethics so each of those entities would at least have another entity with a couple of opposed views.

And it worked as expected

So it looks like out there's no way to really get wars between civilisations sharing the same ethics unfortunately.

Hello modders here.
Is there possible to make custom quiver to contain specific kind of ammo?

[Box]

What do I have to change in 40.xx in the raws, worldgen information, and civ data to make it so that my fortress will be capped at 20-30 dwarves but still receive full-scale invasions, megabeasts, fortress management positions, etc?

Megabeasts: see ATTACK_TRIGGER on wiki: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Creature_token....

Thanks for this.  Helps a lot.

Unfortunately not, as quivers are hardcoded.

How would I go about creating a custom workshop that would let me spawn various items like raw adamantine ore or strawberry seeds?

Is there a way I could "craft" living creatures like dragons or cats?

[BlackFlyme]

That would require a custom reaction, rather than a workshop.

You cannot create creatures through reactions at the moment. It was possible in the previous version, 34.11, through DFHack.

spawn-unit is basically stable at this point for 0.40, AFAIK.

How would I make a reaction that would spawn wood, plants or seeds? I think I figured out how to do it for stones.

[Putnam]

1. spawn-unit is the DFHack script that is required to spawn units.

I am confused about 2. Could you give me an example? What would the reaction used to spawn a banana look like?

[Putnam]

Oof, sorry, didn't quite notice what you were asking.

[PRODUCT:100:1:PLANT_GROWTH:FRUIT:PLANT_MAT:BANANA:FRUIT]

Thankfully, that is easily the most complicated kind of thing you are supposed to be able to make in a reaction.

What's the best way of increasing goblin sieges in fortress mode?  I've considered increasing goblins natural strengths which is kinda a copout and/or increasing their breeding potential which has merit (more goblins more sieges right?).

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I want the level of sieges from 34.xx back.

• Remove every entity except EVIL and MOUNTAIN.
• Then make sure that all the dwarves die in worldgen and goblins cover the world.
• Undo whatever you did to make them so dead(if possible) and embark in gobbo territory.
• You should now be the only choice for gobbos to attack and receive all their war bands.

This advice is untested.

I want the old sieges too.
One thing to try is to make Goblin Entity 1, Goblin Entity 2, Goblin Entity 3, Goblin Entity 4 separate civs. Each witch slightly different ethics and breeding rate (littersize, duration of childhood). The more hostile civs in the world, the more likely enemy attacks are. I think.
Also a civ's [MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:13] [MAX_POP_NUMBER:600] [MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:120] might affect, how often they start a new village/darkfortress.

I like to give animals and civs some [NATURAL_SKILL:DAGGER:3] skills of dodging, wrestling, punching/pawing, kicking.

17x17 map with demons set to 33, despite having population controls for adventurer mode (no evil animals, no likes site dark fortress) gives me a lot of setups like this:


Embarking somewhere nearby should be fun especially with more vanilla population numbers (I get dark fortresses with 100~300 gobs pretty consistently now. I figure if a group like this hadn't bumped into two named bears and then my superdorf they would have been a nice early siege:


Incidentally, is bodygloss only pre-defined stuff?

Could you bodygloss scales to skin if you were say, too lazy to go and add another template with the better materials just for a subspecies of dorf that results from a deliberate syndrome? I figured out how to do part of it in my efforts to bring the colossi in line with the tougher material using megabeasts I already have, but right now I'm just using the [REPLACE_MATERIAL:SCALE] method to put skin in, I'd be happy if I could just have the scales called skin on this particular creature.

I tried [BODYGLOSS:SCALE:SKIN] which seemed to make sense but didn't work, oh, a less creature specific question!

Why is it that the steel colossi will happily take over a human hamlet and play god but dragons with the same sort of tags added won't?
