Will they still attack me?

Yep. If you're using the most recent version, they'll probably show up your first winter or second summer, unless your fortress wealth is really low.

The OP deserves the violent Dwarven equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize.

do they siege often like goblins?
overall will I be attacked more often?
Is it compatible with other graphic sets/tile sets?

I'm having trouble adjusting to these guys. I walled myself in in preparation for the 1st year winter siege, which came as expected. How do you guys manage to get your dwarves combat ready to face the first wave? I guess I could have brought more bituminous coal on embark, but I'm already smelting 3 picks and an axe on startup and tunneling quick smart to find ore while building a fort and getting farming going. Seems like just as I've got food production, a barracks and my smelting going I've run out of time.

ditch, retractable bridge, weapon traps.

If you are very careful to trade no more than 999 dwarf dwarf bucks to the dwarven caravan they should not come in the first winter. It's quite hard to trip the other two triggers they have in the first year. The difference between getting Orcs in first winter and getting them in the second summer is huge. For one thing, you've had migrants and can start putting a military together.

Orcs have no official graphics (I'm an ASCII person myself, so I didn't make any, and I'm not an artist at all), but I saw earlier in the thread that someone made some. I have no idea how to add those to a graphics pack (though their symbol would be 'O', if that helps).

I'm a no traps man, myself, so I suppose I'll have to just watch my imports and attract some migrants instead. Well, I'm not completely no traps, but I prefer the man made stuff, like channel flooding. *thinks* I could probably knock up a quick and dirty channel retractable bridge, with a ramp up.
Code: [Select]
____B
#####\____/

Leave the channel empty till the Orcs come then flood it and extend the bridge, covering both exit ramps from the channel...
It'd require timing, but it should work, right?

I thought about making some Orc graphics but I haven't looked into the graphic tilesets yet. Plus I've been a bit busy which has cut into my DF time. But if nobody beats me to it I'll get around to it soon.

I made some graphics for myself a while ago - the orcs are at the bottom. They're simpler than some of the nicer ones out there. There might be a few problems with the positioning, but that's are easy enough to fix. I also made soldier sprites for the dwarves that, IMO, fit in better with the civilian dwarves. If you want me to post those, just ask.

All of them were made from scratch (except the undead and the kobolds... I think they were from the Dystopian Rhetoric tilset)

The two orcs at the bottom aren't used. If you want the text file, I can post that, too.
Oh, and sorry for beating you to it, Fugue.  ;D

Graphics, hurray!
Now I just need to know how to put them in...
and can I use the graphics with other graphics? (use only the orc ones from you and the mayday ones...)
And can someone tell me how to add races?
I want to add more goblin races and maybe another orc race. (just different names and a little stats so I can have more sieges)
And if I add more goblin/orc races will they use the graphics?

I found out how to add races and all of that...
But can you please add the stuff you put into the graphics.txt?

Yeah, I'm fiddling with the Graphics text to try and fit them in, but if you have it handy it'd be much easier.  :D

I was trying, then I stopped.
I found this:
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=19094.0
it has orcs...
but I have not gotten it to work yet... it is kind of weird...

Well screw orc graphics...
I got 4 goblin races (goblin family) and I just got these orcs. Sooner or later someone will release one...
the ones I posted above seem to not work... probably not compatible with 40D9

Alright, here is the whole graphics part - you should be able to just cut the orc cunk and put it in yours.
It's kinda big though.
The orcs are at the bottom.

Thanks!
I'll have to wait for an orc inasion to see if it works...
just to make sure will this work?
I basically added the orc part to the end of graphics_mayday and put the image in mayday (folder) or should i put it in example?
