I can't help but wonder why Tholtig Cryptbrain doesn't receive this level of celebration.

She is a dwarf, she is expected to be a badass.

All hail queen Tholtig all the same, though.

Is there any chance you could post a copy of your raws and/or a copy of your world maybe?

Edit:Sorry, I read about half way through, skipped to the end to ask, then went back a little to read some more.

Edit 2:Is there any chance you could remake the raws for some of your stuff, like the gibberlings or the metal for Cacame's hammer? would really like that.

If the system isn't overly complicated and utterly convoluted it clearly isn't Dwarfy enough to make.

Cacame, on the other hand was an elf! See, a story about overcoming one's birth flaws and becoming awesome

Looking at the raws, the only _birth_ flaw of elves is a slight penalty to patience. All the "value" definitions and ethics are part of the civilisation package and apply to every civilisation member, independent of species. An elf who's member of the dwarven civ values industry and abhors trees and should be held to the same standards as any other (cultural) dwarf.

Seeing the bit about birth flaws, I just realized I forgot to update my raws properly since I had previously duplicated the dwarf raws, changed the appropriate parts, and added the facial hair styles to the entity to produce bearded elves.

Replace the male part of the elf raw with this:

Oh cool it's the annual awakening of this thread.

I wanted to wake it up but I knew it already had woken up this year.

That being said

ALL HAIL CACAME AEWMEDINADE!

This topic being revived right now is pretty good timing. I've just written a new story about Cacame, titled Cacame Against Fate. It's part of my series which integrates Cacame and his story into the fantasy world I've created and written other (non-Cacame) stories about. It involves Cacame's renewed war of extermination against the elves and features plenty of typical Cacame badassness.

As for the request for RAWs, unfortunately all of my DF stuff from the Cacame save was lost during a pretty severe hard drive crash (triggered, no lie, by an earthquake). I've never gotten around to recreating most of them, though I do still delve into Dwarf Fortress from time to time. I still have some minor personal mods, but they're really just a few more megabeasts for variety (like super giant spiders or huge serpents).

Great story, loved it. It was a little disappointing to hear (ok, read) that Cacame can be injured. I was also asking if you could try to recreate the raws, not if you still had them.

How long did that sleep last, the one tha the wavren escaped during? I forgot what it said.

It was a zombie one right? Do you think it will come back to cacame as a skeleton.

I don't think i have a long enough worldgen, then.  All i've ever had was dwarves.  How long of a world gen do you guys have before you start noticing your civ has been conquered?

I'll give it a shot at recreating the raws. I'll try to post them later this week.

Cacame was asleep for a century. The wyvern was a zombie, yes. There is always the potential for it to return to him, now that he's up and around and killing elves again.

The original worldgen for this was just 100 years. In this case, it was the dwarves that conquered the elves. Just weirdness happened after that. With the current succession mechanics for world gen, I think the possibility of a Cacame arising again is greatly diminished.

I've made worlds while trying to keep gobs from overpopulating which had things like elf lords of dark fortresses with a handful of gobs, towns with a dorf in charge of a bunch of humans, towns with elves as the owner/running the joint, and even a fortress conquered by elves with one in charge... though I got them to give up their claim on the site... and put the administrator in charge of a group named The Glorious Destroyer of Trees because ha ha.

I swear I've got a goblin queen of dorfs in one of my worlds somewhere, trying to track her down.
