All good, those.
Maybe red steel, black steel and cobalt, sun gold, moon silver removed for WIMP-OldGenesis v1.0? And add back in v1.2.

We have brass and silver weapons in OG and aluminum armor, those slow to add graphics?
Also scavenger and centaur species and civ for later.

Higher priority to rutherer, molemarian, reacher, ghoul, if possible. They are the main cave threats.

Some stones are just crap for crafting like the porous zeolite, and cannot command "value:0" in individual material, so I set the stone template to zero.

Just uploaded: OldGenesis Phoebus-tiles 47.05f ! https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16209
In a few days I'll probably upload Ironhand and ASCII OldGenesi.

I play about 12 to 23 minutes of OldGenesis every morning, so the balance changes add up when I notice something imbalanced.
Mostly material values, monster sizes, monster special skills such as fireball hurl rate and paralysis duration. Animal/monster appearance frequency (commonness).

What! DFFD site has lost most of its metadata.

What's up with "axer"/"pikeloser"? I barely noticed it .

I will try to move nords closer to the cold areas, and maybe experiment with danish language. I will make an optional switch to Finnish because both languages look great, but in my mind the danish suits just a little bit better, considering the Dane Axes . Maybe there will be Nord variations I will make.

The new release is coming up very soon, I pulled a couple of all nighters to make it work.

Yay, dusk elves attacked. With three war pigs, one war mastiff, and riding large horses.
They messed around with our animals, then fled, our 15 soldiers did not get to see action.

ps. Yay 15 orcs invade, with 10+ horses and 5 dogs. WTF, they fled immediately. Clever orcs!
Let's hunt that very rare faedog... whoopsie, the gods are angry!

pp. Argh a 99 (orc / horse / dog) army comes... versus our three traps and 20 soldiers, 70 noobs.
A few days later, the orc warband is defeated, we lost 5 people.

Bug report: undead echidna corpse, 10 kg, is unkillable. 50+ pages of combat report. Squad of 9 have silver and bronze weapons. Two dwarves dead.
Only its "upper body" takes hits and it can not bleed out.

Sounds like the vanilla echidna bug.

Thanks. All those are now cannot_undead tagged.

Wow, an illithid/mindflayer "outpost mind poet" guest! It... is... disgusting.

Is that what cannot_undead does?
Makes perfect sense, but wiki inexplicably says "Acts like [NOT_LIVING], except that [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] creatures will attack them."

--edit
Hmm. OK. So reading not_living that sort of makes sense actually. Fair enough.
Feels like it should be written the other way around...

[TomiTapio]

Undead hate/attack all living things so there is a NOT_LIVING tag to make undead and constructs be ignored by the undead.

Ouch, a Forest Cat (normal 8 kg feral cat) killed a farmer by biting their head, bruising the cerebellum... I guess I can let it slide.

[TomiTapio]

Still alive, but not really updating OldGenesis-nonsteam version. Might eventually.
Where is the link to Deon's Steam-DF-Genesis?

[Comito]

Apologies for the necro-post, but I'm curious: what are the names of the music tracks used in the 3.27 version? I've always enjoyed listening to them and I'd like to know what they are.

[Deon]

Hey, no worries. I honestly do not recall which version was 3.27. do you have a link? I've lost countless hard drives, so simple "search" won't do it on my end .

[Comito]

It's this one here: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=3391

[Deon]

It's a mix of songs from Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness and Warcraft 2 Beyond the Dark portal.
I.e. one of songs is at 3:08.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Va2KxDOkE

Some of my most favourite songs are there.

Thank you so much!
