Civ Randomisation
« on: November 07, 2014, 12:39:34 am »
Is there a way to either:
a) Randomise civ traits (in raws) or
b) Randomise which civs are selected (e.g. making the game choose 4 out of 8 possible civs)?

b) should be possible if your number of civs is greater than the number of civs desired by worldgen. I'm not sure, though.

A is impossible without running special civilization generating programs beforehand.

You can put multiple [CREATURE:] tokens in an entity file and when placing that civ it will randomize what creature gets used. Nothing else gets randomized though, just the creature.

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

Write a DFHack script that runs on launch (pretty sure this is possible) that makes the desired random changes in the main raws folder. Make sure to make a backup of your raws beforehand though.

I love this community. Somebody asks "hay guise how do i tame shark", and then everybody is like "why don't we fling sharks at things with complex mechanical devices?".

So I have to write my own script?

No particular reason it has to be a DFHack script, use any scripting language you want as long as it generates a valid entity file.

I suppose it can't be too hard... Python probably
