Oh good so I can completely ignore my textile industry? because I always get that up and running *way* too late.

[Boltgun]

Oh good so I can completely ignore my textile industry? because I always get that up and running *way* too late.

Yes, most do not feel anything from being uncovered and the few who get embarrassed seems to have so little stress you can safely ignore it. I am 6 years in my nudist spire and everything was fine.

Adding food needs to something that do not get naturally hungry was a failure. They suffered the same problem as vampire dwarves, that is they get unfocused and never eat or drink. Besides, removing hunger makes the game really boring, so everything's back to normal. While you can run a fort on water, alcohol is better.

As it seems, building a brothel tavern is very important. If the succubi do not get a place to socialize, they'll have terrible thoughts. Otherwise they'll romance quickly and argue to the point of going berserk (really, I had combat logs of succubi being enraged because Milith told Padaxe her mind). They did not fight each other out of spite yet but I think they behave in their own unique way now. I got a few humans and goblins visitors, by the way.

The biggest change is that they are a lot less lazy, or a least they always give up on break as soon as there is a job. It should be a the same for dwarves and as a whole it's less frustrating.

I still don't know what losing focus means, I had half of them blinking yellow without ill effects.

The next step is to change the pet setting. Without dfhack, they have no wagon puller and in 0.42 migrants are still entirely dependent on caravans. As it seems, you still cannot tell a civ to settle on evil biomes so nightmares will still be cavern creatures (goblins already picked them up). Never mind, COMMON_DOMESTIC works as advertised, you can buy nashash, orthi, and nightmares and they all roam the surface of evil biomes.

While I finish the new sprites, I can use some proof reading so I can stop releasing the mod with confusing text.

Here are the new content for the next version.

A female hedonistic demon with caprinae legs twisted into humanoid form. She has a charming appearance. Beware of her alluring words. In a time before time, her kind escaped from the underworld to serve its master and spread new forms of pleasure into the world. The succubi are associated with lust, depravity and fire.

A male hedonistic demon with caprinae legs twisted into humanoid form. He moves with elegance. Beware of his gentle manners.

If you could warm me of any bad grammar that would be very helpful. Thanks.

[Meph]

Everything looks good.

One suggestion for "A succubus will use her body to power this workshop, providing an alternative to fuel.", maybe use "body heat" instead of "body". Or, if you want to be whimsical, she is using her "extremely hot body to heat up this workshop".

[Boltgun]

Alright, I put 'body heat'.

Edit: By the way the readme could use some proof reading as well.

"floating flass furnace"

Fixed, thank you.

[Boltgun]

And the mod is now ready and updated for 0.42 vanilla.

The patch will likely be compatible with MDF simply by deleted all the 'masterwork_import' files in the raw/objects folder.

[Boltgun]

Hello,

Since the latest DF allows to write proper ingame help, this is getting text heavy and what I write probably does not make sense. However, since I am not a native english speaker, I struggle to put the right words, especially inside the limited space the game offer. So I turn to you to help with some proofreading. If you could check quickly the new sentences, that would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

The castes

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Succubus (mimicking the random demon descriptions)
[DESCRIPTION:A female hedonistic demon with caprinae legs twisted into humanoid form. She has a charming appearance. Beware of her alluring words. In a time before time, her kind escaped from the underworld to serve its master and spread new forms of pleasure into the world. The succubi are associated with lust, depravity and fire. They are agile and their artistic skills are unmatched.]

Cambion
[DESCRIPTION:A medium sized creature of great beauty who gave up nature for a life of revelry among the damned. Cambions love to stalk their prey in the shadows before striking its heart with an arrow. They are excellent ambushers and bowdemons.]

Devil
[DESCRIPTION:A medium sized creature who sold her soul to fulfill her fierce ambitions. Many tales are whispered in the dark about the creatures who approach men of power and bind them with intricate contracts. Dealing with a devil is a dangerous task, and they always win their negotiations.]

Fiend
[DESCRIPTION:A short, sturdy creature fond of drink and slaughter. This once prude dwarf joined the demonic kingdoms, shedding all thoughts of morality and decency for a life of greed, violence and infernal forges. Fiends are excellent miners, fighters and smiths.]

Hellion
[DESCRIPTION:A medium-sized creature driven to corruption by her evil nature. A life of stealing, kidnapping and murdering brought her into the claws of greater evils who healed her disfigured features and taught her to channel her barbaric pulsions into new, refined acts of cruelty. Her evil culture gave her a strong affinity with whips.]

Imp
[DESCRIPTION:A small, squat humanoid with long drooping ears, glowing eyes and impressive horns. This tiny being has won the heart of a succubus who found her too cute to be released. Spending time with a lust demon made her stronger, and she now uses her skills with daggers to protect her home.]

The new paragraphs from the readme.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

## Summoning ##
You can spawn pets in your fort by building a summoning portal over a magma pit. Evil pets are useful for various tasks or can be butchered for food.

Please note that spawned pets are more aggressive than natural ones and are prone to attack if they lack personal space. Isolating them or giving them large pasture zones will reduce the risks.

A description of each pets abilities will be displayed while selecting the jobs from the summoning portal itself.

## Corruption ##
An unique feature from the succubi is their ability to twist the bodies and souls of their guests at their image. Their victims, willingly or not, are turned into hybrids with various abilities depending of their former race.

This is done at the den of iniquity. Running the 'Corrupt prisoners' job will transform nearby sentient creatures and have them join your civilization. This include caged invaders if their cages are visible and close enough. Merchants and their guards will also join, but their pack animal will flee or go insane.

Corrupting prisoners is also compatible with the Fortress Defense mod.

The reactions, this is the longest. The games does not allow a long space so it must be straight to the point.

Sorry for dropping that much text but I'm sure that if we put some quality writing in there, the game will be a lot easier to play than it used to be in MDF 6.2.

[chaosfiend]

Here are some simple grammatical changes that I recommend for the first part at least. The Changes are Bold and Underlined

The castes

I changed a lot of the 'Her' and 'she' pronouns to more gender neutral forms of address for the other classes, since I assume that the other castes will be far less tilted in favor of the feminine gender. Otherwise there was only one sentence in the Succubi description that sounded a tad clunky to my ears when said aloud.

[Boltgun]

Good idea. I had male versions ready but a gender neutral one is easier to manage.

Edit: Made a release, I'll include other text fixes later on if it is needed.

Update : Updated to 0.42.06

[WJSabey]

I updated dfhack to try the Succubi out, but now it's complaining that some of the plugins were built for the old version. Does anyone know why the updated version doesn't include all the plugins, and more importantly if this will break anything important?

[Boltgun]

That's probably Text Will Be Text. It will not break the game, you'll only miss out multi level views and cleaner text.

You can get it back in a working condition by dropping this version in the Dwarf Fortress/hack/plugins subfolder if you wish.

[WJSabey]

In retrospect, I really should have mentioned which plugins were throwing errors. Oops. "twbt" is one of them, but I'm more concerned about "feature" and "initflags". These sound more like gameplay plugins than the others. The full list is:

• automaterial
• drybuckets
• feature
• initflags
• mousequery
• resume
• twbt

What's weird is I'm fairly sure that some of those aren't third-party plugins, and really should have come with dfhack.

[Boltgun]

feature and initflags are dfhack commands and simply indicate which plugin failed.

You can safely play without those plugins running.
