Nope, they were definitely not stairs straight down. I ended up having to work my way back up the keep from the bottom, and the mountain homes used all ramps, not stairs.

Also woo for more features! Though I am afraid to play fortress mode because I'd have to pretty much re-learn DF. Some time soon I shall, though!

Well I'll be.  Bronze is harder than iron?!  Wikipedia agrees with you, but I wouldn't have thought so.  Apparently iron only took over after bronze due to its being easier to acquire.

You should make starmetal ridiculously heavy.  You know, as a reason to not make a weapon directly out of it.

Also, wouldn't steel + chromium be stainless steel?

Another solution for starmetal is to remove it's to set it's damage/block values low. We're interested in the alloy not in its component.

And after examining that Toady's objects folder from devlog it looks like there's not too much to alter in raws so we'll port mods easily.

Quite right. Celestrium is a trademarked name of a specific alloy of stainless steel. I think the name has a better fantasy ring to it, however, than stainless steel, which is why I picked it out.

Looks like there are no relevant changes in the metals at least.
Starmetal cannot be used in anything, as the amount you get of it is ridiculously small.

Gray dragons just fall over and suffocate when you find them.  Lacking lungs?

[Kilowatt]

That was my first modding mistake.
But, to answer your  question, Most likely. I haven't tried it yet, gonna give it a spin real quick.

EDIT: IT DOES NOT WORK. The races in adventure mode are blank, and the only one that does show is "black piranha of Blarger"

Elp?

[Captain Mayday]

Sorry about the Dragons. They're thoroughly fixed in the version at my end, which will be released at the same time as the new version of DF.
Currently also involved in fixing giant spiders. Martial Arts mod features seeming to cause crashes in the game.

As for the other issue, see first post for details.

Updated to 1.06.
This version is all-but ready for the next release. I already have the file to adjust it on hand, so that'll be a quick update.

This update, however, has plenty of new content.

If you see any weird new metals in the hands of anyone but the Tigermen, please let me know immediately.

In the end, I simply went with a number of alloys of Celestrium, aka starmetal.

Generating a standard-sized world with this mod is turning out to be a real pain for me (and my computer). I have now tried twice, the first attempt came to a halt just after year 800 and the second at 968. It takes so much resources from my computer that it says the game isn't responding, but still (very slowly) goes on with the worldgen. I'll try a third time with priority set on high to prevent my computer from forgetting about it and hopefully the gen will make the (almost complete) stop somewhere around 1040 or not at all.

After this much effort I'll definitely explore and enjoy the mod thoroughly. With so much more events and everything this mod seems very interesting.

I also noticed you seem to have put tags from the next release in the mod already. They get listed in the errorlog.

P.S. I probably should make a medium world, but I just want to get everything. So I'll do the medium if this third try won't work.

Mine goes like that all the time. It gets there eventually.

Oh.  Did you make goblins immune to traps?  I was just smashed by a group of goblin hammerers when they walked through my gate traps.

No. I did give them [LOCKPICKER] but that shouldn't let the avoid traps, since kobolds can't.

[bittersweet]

Wow, first time running this mod.  I gen a world and its 2,860,000 something historical events.  Surprised my computer survived a standard world gen.

Kobolds Do avoid traps.
