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

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].     

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

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

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

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.

wait they're powerful? darn I really should have dip into them instead of trying to figure out a way to retire this reanimator oh well maybe next update.

Basically a mixture of Rangers and Rogues, with a silver weakness. A necromancer or vampire Dark Elf could be quite dangerous.

Is it impossible for orcs to learn the secrets of life and death? Or did I find a slab that simply says "the secrets of life and death" and doesn't actually contain said secrets?

orcs might be immortal which prevents the need to learn the secrets of life and death.
but considering this game has god curses you could just tip over some statues and unlock the similar abilities... unless that also needs mortal.

Yes, Orcs can learn secrets. It sounds like you read one of the many other Necro books with similar titles, that may or may not contain any actual secrets. If you for sure read a slab and it didn't work... let me know what the secret was and I will take a look.

okay so my anti-virus said Dwarfmockup.exe was a trojan... also is there a Non Start up pack for this I can get?

It is a false positive but it's been reported before, so I removed it. Also just re-added the ASCII download to the OP.

oh looks like who ever made the adventure reactions Took out the vanilla stone axe crafting...

[Repseki]

The adventure reactions don't have any categories either, though it seems the same as the last version of DarkAge. Could probably use an update.

Edit: I guess there are some categories, just not everything has one.

Mmm. I do see the vanilla stone axe crafting reactions in the "reaction_other" raws.

oh wait I think it might been trying to switch to acsii using the starter pack which might remove stone axes also the Heave.

Okay the reaction was there, but the tools were missing from the default raws folder. Fixed it and uploaded the corrected Starter Pack.
