This is how I play Dwarf Fortress!

I use pieces of it

I use it for modding examples

I don't, I was just curious

Can I get some clarification of the Silver Xelics's position towards wooden objects?

The wiki and this thread both say they do NOT mind other races using wood. I take this to mean they're wiling to buy things made of wood. However, when I do this the merchants gave the same response as the Elves and refused to trade anymore. Is it just that they don't mind how many trees I cut down? Or have I missed something?

Thanks

[Mephansteras]

I should clarify that. They USED to not care at all about wood, now they're picky about trading for it the way Elves are. They don't care if you cut trees down, though.

Will this work with 40d11? I'm using MayDay's graphics pack and the new version of that has 40d11 but I'd like to continue using Civ Forge as well.

[Mephansteras]

Works fine with 11d for me.

[Cal]

Great, thank you.

Here is the graphics set for it. Enjoy.

Looks good! I've added the link to the OP and to the wiki page.

i've found a strange beast, but it doesn't show up in your pack, or in the wiki, does anyone know if it was made by this mod or not? just curious

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

its a two legged rhino lizard

i mean, damn, that's weird

[Mephansteras]

The two-legged rhino lizard is actually a standard vermin critter in Vanilla DF. It only shows up in savage areas, I think.

It would be nice if the graphic pack had some sort of installation instructions and/or how to get it to work.

Or even better yet, just throw together all the modded data and game into a package (like DF Complete and Maydays Graphic pack) so people don't have to fart around and crawl through files.

Your mod sounds interesting but I can't get past the ASCII....

I'm using it with mayday...granted some of the creatures show up as coffers, I still personally prefer it than complete ascii

I can't remember who it was, but I was just denied a trade because I included leather (they said something about me being some sort of evil killer). There were three civs all trading with me at the same time which is why I can't remember >.>

It might have been the dynasari. Also, all the civ forge race diplomats seem to leave before meeting anyone now that I have a baron. The humans and dwarves seem fine, but everyone else serves me some sort of platitude and leaves without actually forming any agreements.

Just wondering if this stuff is expected/normal.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, that's normal. The race that complained about leather would have been either elves or silver xelics. The races that that show up, say nothing worthwhile, and leave would be any race without merchant barons. So could have been dyansauri or hobgoblins.

It's just stub behavior in the game since the caravan arc isn't done yet. That'll all improve whenever Toady gets around to working on trade.

[SwiftAusterity]

Cool. Great work on the mod, BTW. Just having three caravan races come all at once and the subsequent siege/thief/ambush spam has made defense a lot more fun. Thieves without trapavoid causes fun things when a path is created through my stone traps due to thief bungling, allowing the siegers through to other defensive layers.

That and all the new animals (I've got a 60 cage zoo at this point in the current fort) makes it worth playing again

[Mephansteras]

Glad you're enjoying it!
