And also important! I've got a bug which crashes my game during advanced world generation at about 50-100 year what can I do with it?

Which advanced world gen parameter are you using? Fire & Ice is buggy, and will rarely make it past year 100 currently.

It crashes at large region 250 years full gen parameter I haven't used other gens but I will try and see if it will crash again

Sometimes, you can get very unlucky in world gen. There are several vanilla world crashes that may be exasperated by the Dark Ages mod. Although, I have not had many crashes in world gen lately.

You can always use the Ironhand world I uploaded: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l31owqjplhsu4j3/region250SethIron.zip?dl=0

I've tried 5 times to generate in adv world gen and 1,3,4,5 time it just crashed and 2 time it just rejected all the worlds.
But thanks for the world finally I will play dark ages again

Are you running DFHack during world gen? That can cause problems.

I was a Dungeon Master/Game Master for about a decade of tabletop RPGs like D&D, Gamma World, Alternity, Call of Cthulhu, and Pathfinder. I've also made a handful of published (and unpublished) PC games over the years.

Currently, I'm close to completing my new PC game, Mars 2030. A simulated journey to Mars with a procedurally generated crew.

Check it out and vote "Yes" on Steam Greenlight. Your vote is a huge help for the Dark Ages mod.

Totally forgot you were the creator of this mod for a second and was about to blast you for spamming in random threads  Best of luck with your game! I voted it up

Thank you!

Wanted to be sure Dark Ages players had a chance to play in another simulated environment I'm working on, and lend support to Dark Ages development indirectly.

I have 3 separate DF installs right now, and having stumbled on a random Lets Play of this mod, looks like I'm about to make a fourth.

Edit: My Founders started with (that is, in addition to the Skills I picked) Competent Skill in; Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, Stonecrafting, and Mining.  One of them even had Competent Herbalist without my prompting.  I'm going to roll with it, but first impression is this seems both overpowered and kinda pointless, since I won't be equipping and training a Militia for at least a year.  Even then, 90% of the time my first squadron is Marksdwarves.

Edit 2: That Fortress crashed.  When I made a new one, nobody had preset skills.

For some reason if I use the starter pack launcher and switch the tileset to Phoebus all the text and terrain changes to phoebus normally but units and adventurers still use the visuals from Ironhand. Is this normal and how can I make it use phoebus (or any other tileset for that matter) for units?
Edit: I tried playing it with spacefox tileset instead. Units still use Ironhand. Can someone give me a fix or something?

Sounds like you started with Legendary Dwarves. You will find they are less overpowered as you begin to encounter more Dark Ages denizens...

Dark Ages creatures are all based on the Ironhand tileset. So most tiles and creatures will use whatever tileset you selected, however, the special monsters and characters of the mod will still use Ironhand.

I just downloaded a copy of R10. The folder inside is named R8, but I suppose that's inconsequential.

Trying to view the age events in any of the worlds I've generated crashes the game. I'm going to take a nebulous guess that it has to do with the other issue I'm seeing --
There are "nothing" creatures, each associated with every religious symbol, which smells an awful lot like a duplicate raw issue, but I'm not seeing an errorlog like I would expect from such.

Thank you for reporting this. The R8 folder name needs to be updated to R10. The contents are R10.

As far as crashing when trying to view the age of events, I believe you are referring to legends mode. Yes, when you press enter on "Age of Myth" in legend mode, DF will crash 100% of the time. Probably due to an overload of historic events caused by Dark Ages modifications to the Age of Myth.

For this reason, I highly recommend using the included Legends Viewer instead.

As far as the "nothings" go. These are sadly just creatures with no caste name tags. This is a known issue, although I add them whenever I notice one and recently fixed a bunch.

Any chance you could make beasts or other monsters playable in Adventure Mode?

Many monsters you can become during the course of play, but, I've wanted to add creature adventure classes.

What did you have in mind?

Probably not megabeasts or anything too crazy, but definitely some lower-tier monsters and fantasy beasts from the start. Banshees, Harpies, Trolls, maybe even Sasquatches and the like, or bigger things if you want.

With the new features coming in DF's update it'd be neat to be some ravaging monster that finally gets slain, then you later hear Bards singing about you or something. Not many RPGs let you be the monster that you're usually out slaying.
