Keep the vanilla ones

Use an expanded vocabularly

Start entirely from scratch

Cull the words that don't make sense from vanilla, then add words as we go

I'll join this as a modder, I guess. Don't expect me to be adding entire new civs though, I'll probably just be adding a huge variety of creatures and materials, that kind of thing.

[Trainzack]

huge variety of creatures and materials

I'm no expert, but that sounds like exactly what we need.

[Bearskie]

^ Exactly what we need. The old scratches had way too many civs and not enough 'normal' wildlife (ie wildlife that weren't mini-sieges).

And the first crop in this place: mossgrub. Your typical food crop, found in the first cavern layer. Can only be grown to eat, not drink. I'm trying to tune down the OP-ness of vanilla farming, so it has a grow duration of one season.

[Trainzack]

Is there currently a download of all of the base files we'll be using, or is that still in the process of being made?

[Urdothor]

Not quite. A god can only lay out so many successful universal laws while maintaining effort on his winter break assignments. Because my teacher does those. Honestly, I'm going to lay out as bare bones of a base as I can and hand it off to Bearskie, ASAP.

My apologies everyone. I wasn't expecting so much work during a break. I figured I would have more chance to build this up.

Edit: Thank you all for waiting patiently while I make the base work. I appreciate it.

Should I go ahead and say Bearskie's palette is approved?

[Dorsidwarf]

I vote Yea to Bearskie's pallette. Just those two images were enough to convince me, what with how much more fantastical from DF they look.

(speaking of ideas, I totally call dibs on elves for this world.

space elves)

1, I assume that means you want a modding turn?
2, In regards to elves, if you can somehow make them unique from vanilla elves, go for it. Not sure if "space" elves, as space is defined, fits the theme extra, but extra-dimensional elves of some variety might. However you want to spin it, as long as it doesn't stretch outside the theme to much

Yes, I'd love a modding turn.
And they'll be "elves" in not a great deal more than name, really.

[Urdothor]

Sounds good to me

I've locked the poll, as the trend, and general comment base, has shown everyone to be in agreement with using Bearskie's palette. As such, I have moved it to the accepted ideas section of the first post, as well as made note of it for future modders.

@Bearskie,
Furthermore, I have edited the raws as specified, with regards to this palette, and I shall soon be making my own modifications based on it.

[chaotic skies]

Might I suggest we start claiming call signs now? We could make a list in a readme somewhere, so that people can always reference what's been claimed already, but we still need to claim them.

Also, I'm going to claim KOS cha.

Edit: Now that I think about it, cha makes more sense than KOS. I meant it to be read "kay, os", or the same as chaos, but that isn't immediately obvious now that I think about it.

[Whisperling]

PTW

[Trainzack]

If claiming is a thing that we are doing, then I claim EAZ. TZK. TAZ, for the pronunciation.

I think most people's relate to their name. I have urd, bearskie has bsk, etc.

Alright, a couple of quick questions.

1) What are we calling this? "DF From Scratch Redux" is hard to say, and remember.

2) How would you guys feel about a wiki? Nothing like the regular DF wiki, I'm not that good, but something so people can have a reference guide, and somewhere that we can create dedicated guides for each race, once we get there.

3) Github? Yes or no? This makes our 'project' semi-open source, as in we can allow people to split it off, but not directly edit it. Also helps modders with templates, etc.

1. I'll eventually change it to signify that it's the third iteration, in a somewhat less bothersome way. I went with redux to try to attract some past members.

2. A wiki would be cool, and there'll be a folder in the files with basic reference material for modders, and a folder for play guides for players

3. From what I understand, they eventually tried github on the first one, and the entire time on the second one, and the general view was that turn-based edits worked a tad better. My idea is to always have the newest finished turn on the front page, and if it isn't your turn, you may still mod, but instead of the modder worrying about integrating all these ideas (which ended up with dupped raws, and non-functioning prototypes, I will personally add all working ideas in between turns.
