Hey guys

I'm making good progress drawing the sprites. but i have a question, for the labors: woodcrafting,stonecrafting,metalcrafting,bonecarving, are we supposed to draw a special sprite for each or a general sprite called the craftswasp. Because when i was playing regular DF games it seems that all of those labours are lumped into one profession and therefore one sprite.

I have absolutely no experience with sprites so unfortunately, I can't tell you what to do here

i started with the manual.i have written the general info page,and will wait until we finalized the features and ran some test forts to write the getting started page.tell me something:are some stuff written in greek to you as well,or is it just me?

Yes it does seem as though some parts are written in greek. seemss to fit a "bug" race tho haha

I could try using mozilla thimble instead of google sites, but that raises some personal issues i've had with coding.

Because its a "bug" in google sites and it's a "bug" race we're aking. Dont worry, I know it was a very bad pun. looking into the language thing now
EDIT: Just found out it bases the title in the language of your locality. looked in your profile, your from athens. also, using shift+l you can remove the sitemap button and (possibly) change the title

[than402]

it doesn't matter much.the important parts are in english,and it will be fixed when it's merged with masterwork's manual.

[than402]

just read your edit.yes,that's most probably why it happens.still weird though,my browser's language is english.i think i fixed it.

[Insanegame27]

Yep, It's cool now.
Anyway, just thought of a new melee weapon:

Strikers: blunt melee
IRL they are objects you hold in your hand to give your hand some weight when hitting people.

[than402]

Sure,let's put it in.The skeleton of the race is ready,every new idea helps.We should also think of more uses for the archery range.And it needs new sprites too.I put the fletcher's workshop sprites for now,but we will eventually need to change that.

EDIT:i updated the files.added the striker,and fixed the talon so that it requires both hands now

[Insanegame27]

Idea for the slaves. would need dfhack for this but is it possible to have the slave killed in the reaction for the caravan, and then the caravan arrives with a guard "slave" as if they just ransomed the slave back

[than402]

i don't know if this is possible,not even with dfhack.caravans and caravan guards are not historical entities yet,they are created randomly.

[Insanegame27]

I feel that the slaves should revolt if they sense a numerical advantage, much like the PHM

[than402]

that's very easy.but then,why bother having them?their only use is drawing caravans and sieges,they reproduce like crazy due to the pet tag,they can't be eaten(though this can be fixed if we remove the intelligent tag) and are next to useless in combat.

[Insanegame27]

good points. But maybe make them breed less, with a high chance of miscarriage (Is it possible for pets to miscarriage?) due to the stress of slavery.

Spartacus would be proud

[Insanegame27]

There should be a mention of the sexism importance of the queen, the only one that can reproduce, at a high rate
