As I intend to start a new fortress soon, I'd like to take that opportunity to try out a mod or two that improve the existing game. Keeping in mind that I want to still play as dwarves rather than samurai, goblins or romans, which ones are the best?

In my experience, modding in orcs generally makes for a fun time, fortress-wise.

I messed with mine a bit, like changing the 'c' in orc to a 'k' and making them a bit less powerful. At one point, mine were so powerful that 15 (non-legendary) Orks decimated my 5 Champions along with the rest of my army. Fun to watch, I suppose. But not so great for my fort.

I'd recommend the minerals mod. Its gives you a fair bit of fun stuff to play around with.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've started the new fort with both mods. Only time will tell if I need to nerf the orcs as you did.

If you really want a challenge, go with the GOBLIN FAMILY

Just install the modbase and pick every desired element.

Does Modbase work on Mac?

I don't think that it does, but then I have never had much opportunity to experiment with it.

I have just discovered the fatal flaw in this mod: discovering inobtanite is treated the same as discovering adamantine for the purposes of attracting a king, but unlike adamantine, inobtanite can be found anywhere, even on the surface! I just abandoned my fortress when the king arrived in the summer of the second year.

Yes, I experienced that, too...luckily, they all wandered into a nest of skeletal ogres.

It was beautiful.

'course, you could just change the RAWs so it shows up less and not on the ground.
