Races and Wars
« on: September 19, 2014, 12:10:01 am »

Ok I made a topic yesterday in the question section. One of my questions was if you can play with other races in dwarf fortress mode. Of course I am sure that this suggestion has already made

now my suggestions are not only play with humans or elves but all or at least more hostile races, necromancers and devils and more, It would be awesome. You could make hundreds of different stories......

And my other suggestion and I really wish that this will be someday in the game, is to attacks other fortresses towns villages etc. It will make military something bigger than just defence and open differend routes of gameplay, or even go out of the map you choosed to embark cut trees or I don't know gather other resources

So....those are my suggestions I want to hear your opinions :D

That's already planned, but much more advanced.

Don't get your hopes up. Its not going to happen within the next five years at least. I'll be pretty surprised if more than the basic framework is completed within ten. Of course the board standard for any truly advanced feature is about twenty years. So....

There are plenty of mods allowing you do just that.  Just look at this one.

Launching attacks on others is also planned, but I guess it's not going to be done soon.

I just want a better way of organising tactics for my dwarves so that i can have half a squad engaging the enemy and the other half doing what it's told and circling around to cut the baddies off

Its pretty easy to mod a race to be playable in adventure mode. Cant remember the exact specifics but it was in the same file they had the ethics and the civilization specifics. Ask for it in modding and I bet someone will tell you.
