Does the [starting_biome:glacier] tag allow the spawning of werewolf civilizations? They don't spawn in my games unless I replace the tag with [tundra].
Also, I get the NO TRADE, but with elves. Does it actually affect anything?
(It might be because another civ's trade season conflicts with the elves, now that I think about it - I will investigate proposed fixes).
Make sure you've cleared the data/objects folder, elves are siegers and should display as a dotted red line. Hopefully that'll clear up the werewolves, too, although it might be a lack of glaciers as 3 said. Are you genning a large world?
He means in the creature_standard entry for dwarves it says:
[BOWMAN_NAME:bowdwarf:bowdwarves]
[SPEECH:dwarf.txt]
[SPEECH:dwarf.txt]
[STANDARD_FLESH]
Ah. Never even noticed there was a speech tag in the creature entry..
This was a fresh, previously untouched copy of df - I'm guessing its the temperature problem, because in a later map my tundra werewolves failed to spawn as well.
Elves do seem to work fine in my latest worlds though.
Also, worldgen is epic just because of all the wars.
I just modded in orcs, and I just got a battle where 123 treants attacked a 83 orc settlement. 62 orcs perished, but they kill all 123 treants...apparently the cause of the war was the inability to communicate and form treaties...and the treants still keep coming somehow - the next year saw 141 treants come, only to be all turned to kindling.
In that same worldgen, I see a battle where a young boy, Laulug Lutetest, just barely come of age at 12, was the only defender left between his home and a tribe of vicious werewolves that constantly raided his village between elf sieges. 59 of them came, while he alone stood at the gates, protecting the children inside. And yet this young boy held firm, killing 24 of these vicious monsters before the wolves turned tail and fled, and thus earning the name "The Execution of Sheens."
These are the same werewolves that the people in Sparkgear fear to fight without champions or bridge traps.* Bear in mind that humans are size 7 (I nerfed them a bit to act as traders and added in superhumans) and wolves are size 9.
Later that same year, he and 6 other children were mercilessly shot to death by a siege of 355 elves.
*Yes, I know there are differences. They are fundamentally the same.
