Right right... I guess most of the alloys in the game don't really have any practical use since they generally have the same value as their component metals did and they take extra work and effort to produce.

Also do you know if trapavoid creature avoid triggering pressure plates(I've actually never used pressure plates before)? I'm working on an impregnable fortress setup and I want it to be able to handle chaos dwarves too... (I hate them they slaughtered everyone in my last fort). Right now my only idea is repeating spikes on a one tile bridge suspended above a huge pit with spikes at the bottom. Nothing should get through that.

[Mephansteras]

They should avoid pressure plates, yes.

And you're supposed to hate them. Although they do bring nice stuff for you to loot after you kill them.

*sigh*

Well I guess I'm stuck with manually triggered magma traps and of course my repeating spike traps (no one can avoid those right? RIGHT???). And if all else fails good old blood and steel (or in this case incendium, mithril, and elementium)

Hey Meph!
Do you still have the 0.28 version of Primitive Civs?  I am puttign together a version of DF for my brother whose never played before and using .28 since it is a bit easier to a newcomer. I want to load it up with some interesting mods and hoing to use your old one but cant find it anymore.

[Mephansteras]

Should still be on DFFD. It might be mispelled as primative instead of primitive, though.

EDIT: Found it

Here you go

[Crossroads Inc.]

Awesome! thanks matie!

[Mephansteras]

I should have the stand-alone Primitive Civ mod done soon too. Just finishing up the Satyr/Nymph civ today.

[Crossroads Inc.]

Just out of curiousity What is the list of Civs you are thinking of addig to the new version?
I mostly am curious  because I know your other mods have dozens of new races, but the Prim-Civ was mostly just makign the existing "beast men' into civs.

[Mephansteras]

Primitive Civs has:
Bearmen
Frogmen
Goatmen
Jackalmen
Lizardmen
Monkeymen
Raccoonmen
Ravenmen
Snakemen
Squirrelmen
Tigermen
Turtlemen
Wolfmen
Ratmen
Satyr/Nymph

[Crossroads Inc.]

Awesome thanks, can't really think of ayone I would't want on the list, or anyone else to add.  Maybe frogmen, not really sure about a Frogmen civ, they seem so, squishy ;P

That said can't wait to gen a new 40D world when this comes out

Eh, they breed fast.

And this is for 31.18, not 40d. And it's going along well. I'm just about done, I think. Just need to run some tests and clean up any of the inevitable problems.

[Sarudak]

I really love this mod by the way.

[vrga]

i'll have to bitch about the amount of clutter constant 12-16 ambushes and siege after siege after siege bring constantly.




i mean, almost the whole embark (2x2) is blood smeared.



so yeah :p



also, glacium, elementium, incendium stuff is evil.


blazing incendium is meh. i have approximately 30 or so weapon traps with blazing incendium serrated discs. not a single fart was incinerated.


or... derp.


i just remembered i had temperature turned off.


derp derp deeeerp...

You may want to look into modifying how and where the elemental crystals are spawned. I had noticed that I was regularly finding frost crystal but none of the others. Using the prospector in DF_Hack I has consistently seeing 0-50 of storm, ward, fire heart, and flare crystals while having 1000-3000 (!!!!) frost crystals on the map. This is the case even on maps that I specifically chose to have 2 layers of granite and one of marble, as a side point though the prospector claimed they were there on using reveal I could find no evidence of said crystals. This means that all the elemental metals are EXTREMELY rare (far rarer than mithril which is stronger and lighter) except for glacium which is limited only by how much rock salt you can find. Not to mention all those frost crystals makes for ridiculously valuable encrusting (not that an experienced player has any difficulty making value just sayin). I think the problem relates to competition for spawning but it may be something else entirely because I can't say I've ever actually found a fire heart cluster and I think I've found storm crystals and ward crystals once each even though on one map I searched two entire marble layers.
