No, but i now realize that for some reason I'm playing as legendary dwarven druids and not plain 'ol dwarves. I have no idea what I did to do that as other than add the expanded glazes mod to it, I haven't changed anything to the R8 release. I gotta play around with it more, I'm still really new to DF in general, and I really enjoy messing around with the raws.
As far as I am aware, legendary dwarves are playable in this mod by default. When selecting a civ, it lists all playable civs. To know what the creature is, go to the neighbours tab and see which creature is at the top: that's you. Cycle between civs and you'll probably see it switch from dwarf to legendary dwarf. If I'm not wrong, legendary dwarves make cities in worldgen, making the icons in the worldmap different.
(DF itself now allows for automining of veins/clusters, so no need to use DFHack for that. It's good for other wizardry though.)
It all makes so much sese now... Thank you! how do you command dwarves to digv in regular DF?
Legendary Dwarf castes have been splitting civilizations into Druids and Mages. This was unexpected. I still need to look into what is going on there. But, that should not effect trading at all.
DFHack is designed for vanilla DF. As such, it will not always play nicely with Dark Ages. It can and
has caused some weird things to occur.
It may only be certain features that conflict, however, it is untested, as fair warning.
