Okay, I see what went wrong.

Uploaded the fixed ASCII version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jixt674oh61pxs7/Dark_Ages_ASCII_Win_R1_40_19.zip?dl=0

   So in my latest video I come across the illustrious wild Nothing. Specifically at this point I check what animals are about and one shows up as being called "Nothing". Eventually my War Lynx cadre killed it for whatever reason (it was flying so I was sufficiently impressed) and when I butchered it I got Nothing bones, skull, and feathers but the meat, skin, and such was labeled as "druidic falcon".

You may have killed a Druid Dwarf in Falcon form. I'm looking into it. First time I've been able to pinpoint what a "nothing" was. Still not sure what is causing this.

GM-X, I'm working on a working linux distribution of Dark Ages.

• Could you please post a zip file of just your modified Ironhand?
• Is the ASCII tileset modified at all? I wanted to use a square version of it
• Also, looking forward to the guide, does it have an ETA?

'Nothing's usually result when a creature lacks one of NAME or CASTE_NAME. I haven't had the chance to look through the raws for the culprits, but I think there are more than the druidic falcon responsible.

I also experienced the mysterious Nothing creature. I noticed a few minutes earlier that a druidic peregrine falcon was in the units list.

I've confirmed that druidic animals do in fact have names and caste names. Actually, the caste names need to be updated but they are there.

Might this be due to transformations? Not seen it happen with any other creatures yet.

Edit: Okay, I found the problem. Will fix in next update.

I plan to post the raws very soon. The guidebook is a ways off. I don't even have a rough estimate at this point.

Two Wendigo vs. Fort: (skip to 42:20)

@Akhier the Dragon hearted - I'm scared when one Wendigo shows up.

Two Wendigo can be devastating. I'm far from a master of fort defense, but a map central entryway with walls is basically essential for early survival.

Wamiwi Denacoru Vimeba Irada, the mythical, enchanted, fire breathing Black Dragon just showed up at my fort.  First year, late summer. Livestock on the surface, one bridge guarding entrance hall but no lever hooked up. Dear god.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

  I have noticed that a lack of defense tends to come back and bite me. Of course this leads to a bad end for me which while FUN isn't quite as fun as clawing my way back. On the other hand a bad end is good video. I will of course try to be more defensive but I am easily distracted by other things.

Akhier, I've enjoyed your videos!

What do you think about putting together a short collection of recordings introducing the various Dark Ages differences from vanilla mode (workshops, magic etc)? As sort of a tutorial set.. The lack of guidebook or docs for this mod is frustrating hah.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

It would be interesting but I am probably more in the dark then you. All I have seen is a few monsters really.

[Rammok]

The same methods employed to defend a vanilla Fort are essential in Dark Ages. I'll post these links on the site later too.

Aside from the Nothing attack similar to Akhier's. I've been having fun playing in Linux on a 9999 pocket.

Vherid's Sorrow and Fallen colors schemes are awesome with this mod too.

Can't wait for the guidebook, or any sort of docs that explain more about this awesomeness.
