It's not just Dark Ages V: War & Mythos that is not updating the saves, another mod that I use received an update yesterday, and that one isn't asking to update either, I suspect that it is Vanilla Dwarf Fortress having issues with the Steam Workshop.

Installed mods live in a separate folder that never updates. This is nominally to prevent updates from breaking save games.

You can manually update your save, but at your own risk.

I remember not long back that you would be prompted to update the save during the load game sequence, has something changed?

Is there anywhere we are able to find a copy of Dark Ages IV for 47.05? I know you said that you're keeping it to the Steam Workshop to help support interest / sales there and I do own a copy and use Dark Ages V with it. I just really miss playing adventure mode with the mod.

How would that work (would it be compatibile):
-Vanilla overhaul weapon 2.2 mod
-Aeramore expansion mod
-Tes Mod

Would any one of them could work with your mod? also, how important is list order load on mod screen?

Also dwarven mages - they are for help with difficulty ?

Hello, a few weeks ago I brought up an issue I was having with Dark Ages V, where the military dwarves would become tired, and remain so forever. I have some more information. I accidentally installed Dwarven Mages on world, and this bug happened. So I will say fairly confidently that Dwarven Mages causes this issue.

Hi Viax, Dwarven mages are for magic! Magic may or may not improve your chances at survival. Hold off on using this add-on until [1.0.1] is released.

Thank you for the follow up. I will update to [1.0.1] shortly with an attempted fix. If you feel like re-testing after the update, let me know how it goes.

If anyone has any feature requests for Dwarven Mages, this is a good time to ask!

Add embark option to start as Necromancer with super powers, and use inteligent undead as your labor force . Damn, it sound better for adventure mode.
Does magic improves after some time due to using it? Strange that all dwarfs get spells. They can be quite strong. So far one year after on untamed wilds and not too much of a threat has been seen so far. Should i remove some vanilla things in order to mod work better? And i would kill to make it work with stonework expanded

Keep looking. You can find some very savage embarks. I've seen embarks overrun with Great Elephants and Dire Wolves. Haven't tested Stonework Expanded, but off the top of my head, I don't see why a mod like that wouldn't at least mostly work with DA:5. Stable Adventure Mode + Bug Fixes are so badly required for Dark Ages (and the modding community) it is not funny. Toady One is taking a 100% needed break, but we hope he hits a strange mood again by Summer.

BTW, if i could ask... where can i learn to mod game like that? I have few ideas, and as i was going through those text files, it didn't seem to make some adjustments. Worst with graphic if i would add something... But, when could i start ?

Also, what iron dwarfs and living statues do? Do they possess some powers? What role did they perform ?

[Viax]

How can i craft non-craftable weapons? There is mod called "armed dwarves"

Think there's a bug with Ancient Vampires; had one come to my fortress as a migrant. Whenever he fought, all his enemies that were humanoid turned into vampires even if he didn't bite them, and all the nearby citizens also turned into Ancient Vampires whenever he went into combat. It then spread to all my citizens within a day after a siege because they all saw or were near the 12 or so new Ancient Vampires in my fort. Then the 3-4 dwarves that didn't turn got drained and now all 80 citizens are uber Vampires which have ridiculous stats and any new migrant wave dies within minutes of coming whenever they fall asleep...

Hi Vishdafish, that is not a bug it is a feature. Although, it could use some fine tuning. Most forts will not survive an Ancient Vampire attack. The end.

Please take screenshots if this happens, because it can help smooth out future game play.

i got crash with...But i use mod which cut giant birds. Why is it happening?

Hello again Viax, the No Giant Birds plug-in mod is not the reason you are getting crashes. Dwarves will not make "giant" bird statues so the error is only informational. This plug-in may even reduce vanilla crashing. This is explained on the mod page.

don't quite understand.. then why i got crash , there is also
