DAII: War & Mythos [43.02] [v32] has been released!

"Dark Age has fallen upon the world of Dwarf Fortress."

Monsters flood the night. Nature is in revolt. The Orc and the Gnoll pillage the country sides. War and savagery abound. Terror and magic lurk beyond every shadow. The Hero and the Fortress have never been more important for survival.

Release Version: 32
(DFHack not required.)
Note: v32 seems to work great for most world gen sizes. As always, large worlds are the most well tested.

 oh hey time to see if it's possible to be a massive evil mofo outsider and Still be able to retire in Dark ages.
probably not but it hopes to be optimistic...
you probably should change the wood requirement from battleaxe to sharp object if one thinks about keeping the axe to wood interaction.

[The Mighty Dorf]

Hey I generally love this mod but I have a few questions:
1. Are there any ways to try and reduce the chance of crashes when generating worlds?
2. Is there any way to speed up or bypass the generation when trying to generate the 'year 999,999' world. I doubt there is but I'd like to try it out and have never gotten all the way because I've given up and it takes forever.

Nevertheless I love the mod and all the extra stuff it adds, keep up the great work.

Sounds fun. I will take a look at changing that to sharp object.

Thank you!

1) Mmm. For release [v32] I have had very few world gen problems using the default Ironhand tileset in the Start Pack. Even fewer using the stand alone ASCII version. I recommend that you gen worlds using default Ironhand in the Start Pack if you haven't been. If you have, try downloading the ASCII stand alone version to generate your worlds then move your saves to the Start Pack for tileset switching.

2) A super fast single processor CPU or virtual machine will help speed things along to 999,999. You could also set it to run before sleep time. I do plan to post some old worlds I've generated eventually.

My antivirus said it found a Trojan Virus inside the "Dwarf Mockup" folder. Is it just overprotective, or is there something wrong with the file?

[Rumrusher]

I just realized the craft items accept any logs even the ones you chop down with the vanilla hand axe.
so it's possible to make a craft hammer after you make a handaxe and find a tree to fell.  if only we can make a 'Ladle'

It's overprotective.

[Galthromir]

Is there any way to disable certain races? I love 99% of the mod, but am not a huge fan of the legendary dwarves. Any idea what raw stuff I would need to mess with to prevent them from spawning without blowing everything up?

I don't think ladles are required for any adventure crafting presently. Wanderers uses them for wood crafting I think. What do you want one for? They appear to be present in the raws, so let me know if I'm missing something.

Before you gen your next world, open up the raw/objects/entity_dark_ages file in notepad. The first entity block is Legendary Dwarves. Cut everything from [ENTITY:LEGENDARY_DWARF] to [GENERATE_DANCE_FORMS], (which is right before the Wizard entity block) then save. Nothing should blow up.

One reason to leave them in though, even if you don't play them, is they increase the probability that Dwarfs survive deep into history. They have few civilizations so they should be avoidable.

Hey I'm having a huge problem with visitors coming in and toppling my statues and instruments (at least so far that's all they have toppled). I've shown them the !!DOOR!! but more come and more continue to do the same. Can I stop this, is it a bug, or what? BTW they will go out of their way to do so, even outside locations.

[GM-X]

Really enjoying the mod, btw - first Old One had me shitting myself!

Is it normal that Legendary Dwarf visitors to my tavern/temple keep knocking down all my statues, archery targets and instruments??

Roughly what percentage of your visitors are vandals? It sounds like they are mischievous. Which can happen due to secrets, curses, or evil weather. Let me know what type of creatures are doing this. It may be interesting to read the trouble makers bio and histories.

[DaSwayza]

It was mostly dwarves who vandalized, with one human and one goblin. I recorded 20 individual instances, the vandals would take out all instruments and statues on the map, my hammerer would dispense justice, then maybe a couple of in game days after punishment, they would do it again. However, there were other visitors that came that didn't vandalize, I believe 2/3 behaved. But there was always constantly one on the map tearing things down. Sorry for the long winded answer

[Rekov]

Does this have playable elves? Is that why it's called rise of the dark elf?

I strongly suspect they are cursed or evil magic users of some sort. Could be a bad neighborhood I suppose. I will look into this further before releasing [v33].

Dark Elves are a non-playable evil civilization. But playable adventurers. They are one of the more powerful humanoid races now.

I was leaning in the direction of adding them as a playable civ at some point. They are in better shape for playing right now than any other evil race, but untested, no unique buildings or job tiles, and you would need to add the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag.
