Tried it but it didn't work boss.

Any other suggestions?

[TomiTapio]

In the older version I've only had (illithids) survive on isolated islands where no other civilization was present. I might not have tried enough because it seems like world generation is pretty tricky with then new versions of DF.

Hmm maybe should have the illithids make more babies, like 3-4 per birth. Worth a try; anyone? Umm do they even HAVE female castes to make offspring?


Here Deon, exotic trees with fixed adjectives: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8967397/plant_dendrology.txt
No more "cottonwood wooden logs", now cottonwood logs. Or "monkey-puzzle tree wooden logs" (now pezzle logs, perhaps you like puzzle logs better).

[Deon]

They have female castes, I checked it... But I didn't check that they don't have male castes .

Anyway, you have to add [MALE] to those genderless illithids and [FEMALE] to the outpost brain.

And I upload 2.96 now with the said fixes and TomiTapio's dendrology names. Thank you Tomi .

[Prepaid Lenin]

Thank you for fixing it so fast.

[Pan]

I plan to make them even more rare

Sure am glad to hear that  But currently, is there any effective way to dispatch them? Marksdwarves?

Sometimes times the only way to win the war is to not fight the battle.

 Darn it...

What if the randomness of the system makes illithids' first town all male? I'd put them mostly female if the problem is they don't last in the history.
Hooray .31.11 is out!

[Deon]

Cool, checking it.

Also it doesn't matter what is rare, male or female, because creatures in DF marry only once and there're no bastard children.

0.31.11 version is up

- 2.97: new version; glass beds and glass grates in furniture workshop; crossbow/bow training in obstacle course (temporary).

I don't like simply "updating" the game, I always want to add something.

Now you can make green/clear/crystal beds and grates in Furniture Workshop. I don't know why didn't I include it earlier.

Also you can now train bow and crossbow in Obstacle Course, it's temporary until training is fully fixed.

Also THIS time I didn't forget to include the manual .
It's not updated with new glass reactions and a few new plants (ginseng, mandrake root, nightshade etc.) but I will get to it next time I release something (soon) .

I was thinking it would be cool to mash up genesis mod and the civilization forge mod (more civs = better, more enemies = better, more fancy alchemy = better). However looking over the files they touch it seems like there's lots of collision. Any chance of using something like uristmod (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53028.15) someday? Would probably make it easier to maintain with newer versions of df raws and mash mods up between themselves, although I know it is a lot of work that might be a problem with an already made mod like yours.

edit: blarg syntax

[Deon]

The main problem is that I edit all the creatures and entities and everything else, so there's almost nothing from vanilla.

You would have to manually check for conflicts, but it's not too hard.
You just need the entity and creature info, and that's not a lot.

[bobbens]

The only stuff that really matters are the raws right? Or is the worldgen and such also tweaked? (besides stuff like art for graphics, etc...)

[Lord Shonus]

CivForge's alchemy is stand-alone. All you have to do is edit the entity files to get them to use the new reactions. Likewise with the don-dwarven races.

[Deon]

Civforge also has ironworks which was integrated in Genesis and some other stuff which could conflict. I would just check errorlog and maybe look around files a bit .

[Deon]

Okay, I thought about that, and for 3.0 we need more races.

I think we need some races which siege right away but are not too strong to allow you to fight them. It will add some adrenaline and action.

The main thought is that if they had lots of clothes/armor, they would litter the whole map with garbage, and that is not good. Thus they should have natural weapons and armor. Some insectoid race could work, and maybe there could be more than one. Scarabs for desert, scythers for forests, termites for plains. Or some animalmen, like molemen with sharp claws or werewolves with fangs.

But I want to hear which kind of a race you want to see attacking you first. Any suggestions on the flavor?

Insects are a lovely idea (beetles, umber hulks, etc...).

Small civilized raptors are another good idea, they could bring in bigger dinosaurs as support.

Bird people would also give more play, since they would also fly in from above and bypass your fortifications.

Giants would also be good, but would be more dangerous. Would have clothes but you could keep it to a loincloth and some big ass club.

What about also getting fancier metals? I really like the idea of using alchemy and stuff to create really good metals like in civ forge (probably going to fail epically in my merge).
