[Blind Wolf]

But I have to ask, is there any particular reason why none few of the male sub-races have set empathy and social awareness values?

Because they do nothing? And not set values mean default parameters.

Well, that's kind of odd, isn't it?  I like the "Stronger/More Agile" comparison, but the rest just gets kind of stereotypical or arbitrary.  Plus, if they don't count for the more rare castes, why have them for anyone?

It's totally arbitrary, I even don't remember settings this... I think I was just fiddling with these tokens after they became avaliable to see how it works and forgot about them. Also willpower now governs pain tolerance, so I have to tweak it considering that fact.

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't work on the mental stats for a while.
I plan to change the speed of different skills' training for different castes for the next release, so it will come along nicely.

Ah. See, I thought they actually did something.

No prob. I can't really blame you for not knowing every little parameter you set.

In both the Genesis/Mayday v.16 that Deon put out a while back, and my own mix for .18, all of the bushes that have their tile set to the ' " ' character show up as completely transparent and display just a solid square of their background color.

Yeah, I had this problem too. The '"' for bushes does not work starting from some version of DF. You have to set the tile number instead of '"' (i.e. [PICKED_TILE:34]).

Yep, I tend to forget about stuff I've made a few months back, sorry .

About werewolves: they have to attack early because they have no CAN_SPEAK, and it worked before.

But with the latest DF releases it could be changed. Was someone able to make non-speaking civs to attack early like orcs used to be in the old DF orcs' mod? I can't check right now, but I will figure it out for the next release.

Worked perfectly. Thanks!

Where can i find giant spiders in adventurer mod i never seen any? I see webs everywhere but no spide lol

[Treason]

Uh..Did I miss something?  I've gotten a "Doom Dwarf" as one of the original 7 embarking dwarfs in this new map I started.  Is this a glitch, or is there a new cast I wasn't aware of?

[Lord Shonus]

It's a caste.

To be more specific its the Aspid dwarfs....but they are now doom dwarfs because they have an injected poison that melts people now (discovered by accident and left for coolness I believe)

[Treason]

Alright, thanks for the correction!

Another observation I've had, though I am unsure if it's the mod or the vanilla game, but..I'm having dwarfs be completely unharmed by lava.  They avoid it like always, it burns things, melts stuff dropped into it..but dwarfs that either fall in or end up in chambers of the stuff by "accident" don't suffer any harm unless it's above 4/7..in which case, they'll start drowning...

It's been like this for each of the fortresses I've made.  It's..odd.

Known issue, one of the castes is fire immune, and a bug makes it affect all castes.

I guess we could make a separate fireimmune_tissue for that caste... maybe. I couldn't find where it was in the raws. Wait, there it is:

   [SELECT_CASTE:MALE_OBSIDIAN]
    [SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:FEMALE_OBSIDIAN]
       [SELECT_MATERIAL:ALL]
         [HEATDAM_POINT:NONE]
         [IGNITE_POINT:NONE]
         [IF_EXISTS_SET_MELTING_POINT:55000]
         [IF_EXISTS_SET_BOILING_POINT:57000]
         [SPEC_HEAT:30000]
         Need to make sure blood and pus aren't solid at regular temperatures.
      [SELECT_MATERIAL:BLOOD]
          [PLUS_MATERIAL:PUS]
            [MELTING_POINT:10000]

all castes' all materials get "upgraded".... guess i should remove this for my worlds.


About the strength/agility between genders; in my one arena test, males vs. females (for genitals getting hit in battle testing I think), the females Totally won. I suspected it was due to the higher agility, often giving first strike!

TEST: no skills, steel: sword, mail, leggings, helm, gauntlets, high boots: 30 male stone dw vs 30 female.
Tomi's tunings on internal organs, and genitalia and breasts set to internal.
ten females remain!! skil-prof-compe in sword,

Well in a setting where a single major wound usually leads to incapacitation and loss, you're better off getting more hits in than stronger hits. Agility is probably the most important stat nowadays, especially given bogeymen.

Why does it only not conflict with the Dangerous Critters Mod? As far as I can see it also doesn't conflict with the civ forge mod. (I plan on heavly modding my dwarf fortress)

[maxicaxi]

Possible bug, werewolves don't seem to heal in adventure mode

i have waited around 10 days and no wounds have been healed

that's not the only mod it doesn't conflict with, but mixing it with civ forge does create a LOT of overlap.
