Hi DVNO, good point. Although Lizard people actually do carry the tag in Dark Ages. Unless it was vanilla lizardmen in that village. They do sometimes hang together.

I won't be waiting to release to DA:III [v37] for a stable 44.x, as it could still be months away. Tests are running smoothly in 43.05 with a large amount of new content. Since raws don't appear to have changed, it should be fairly easy to update to 44.x once Toady One has fixed the show stopping bugs.

Sneak Peak:

[Rammok]

I've now stabilized Medium Region Advanced World Parameters and Large Region Advanced World Parameters. World gen is running the smoothest to date in 43.05. I've reduced Kobolds & Goblins civs slightly to make room for the new Entities, including the Illithid.

I'm now going back over all bug reports in the past year, to ensure they are addressed in DA:III v37. Any last minute requests, let me know soon.

The animal men race might be missing the [UNDEAD_CANIDATE] tag. Why it's not the other way around with all creatures being reanimate-able by default unless they have a tag specifically excepting them, and why that tag is still only given to one race in vanilla I'll never understand. 

UNDEAD_CANDIDATE might be a "legacy" token that doesn't do anything (don't quote me on that though). Whether a creature can be undead is controlled at a creature level, with the NOT_LIVING/CANNOT_UNDEAD tokens.

Thank you for chiming in Knight Otu. It doesn't appear the UNDEAD_CANDIDATE tag is required for an entity corpse to be animated.

As an experiment, I added it to most entities in v37 and I do believe there are more types of zombies in world generation now. Although, I've not carefully reviewed the previous populations of zombie types.

I've not played with the CANNOT_UNDEAD tag in a long time and not super clear about its effect.

Dark Ages III: War & Mythos [43.05] [v37] [64-bit] has been released!

The original post has been updated with most of the v37 update info. now. More links will and details incoming. (Please note, this is for the old 43.05 version of DF only for now.)

Well hey, an update! Thanks for your continuous work on this amazing mod!

A small bug report, again: All of the Illithid abilities are automatically self-targetted. Means that it's a suicide to even try to use them.

Hi Big PowerBoss, thank you for reporting this. I will take a look and update to v37a in about 2.5 hours. Did you just jump right into playing an Illithid in Adventure mode?

Since 44.03 has been released, are you thinking of porting this mod up to it anytime soon?

Looks like an older version of Illithid Raws slipped into the v37 release. This will take a bit longer to fix, but it should be uploaded shortly.

Hi SalmonGod. I'm keeping a close eye on the bug fixes Toady One is making. One bug in particular would cripple Dark Ages fun, namely one that causes Mega-beasts to freeze on the edge of the map. Initial tests of world generation after a new DF update are always crash-tastic. In contrast, v37a is the most stable version of Dark Ages released so far.

Dark Ages III: War & Mythos [43.05] [v37a] [64-bit] has been released.

v37a was uploaded.  There were quite a few issues with Illithid that required attention. I get the feeling it will be a race that needs fine tuning but v37a should fix the self-targeting issue and several other important things, like muscularity. All Illithid require line of sight or physical contact to use mind powers now too.

Actually, yes, i was browsing trough available adventurer races and then saw an Illithid. By the way, are they supposed to start in a hostile enviroment? Do they even have allies?

Currently, Illithid do not have much of a surface world presence. I tagged/threw them into the Army of the Abyss entity group, but they rarely thrive for various reasons. Most are wild populations like Aboleth, infesting the caverns but not available as an adventurer spawning city.

This is a good reason to revive the Aboleth Madness entity group removed a while back... so I started tinkering with that for v37b.

Dark Ages III: War & Mythos [44.04] [v37a] [64-bit] has been released.

World generation is stable - which is unusual this soon after a major update. Only the ASCII version has been uploaded tonight, because sleep has called. No other changes to v37a.

I just wanted you to know that I'm still playing my old Dark Ages beach fortress.  Seeing the wizard trading caravan show up in summer and zap all of the zombie birds & crustaceans makes me grin

Ohh you are playing in an evil biome. Very brave. How many years old is your beach fort?
