None that I know of...

I've lost another fort because my nobles disappeared and they didn't want to elect another mayor.
So the release is here and I felt it's urgent.

Now all nobles allow all nobles. So if you have at least ONE alive, you will be able to appoint other. Sadly it requires you to regenerate a world for it to work.

Also there're my personal graphical changes to the main release. The bridge's edges do not look like trees and there're RantingRodent's walls and floors:

Hello there. Love the mod from what I've read of it.

I have one little problem though, I want to play it, but I can't figure out how to install it.

I downloaded it and opened it up to see the files but I can't figure out how to put it into my DF folder to make it work.

Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to playing this.

[Deon]

Basically you open your DF folder, open the archive, drag and drop two folders from the archive IN your DF folder, and when it prompts you to overwrite files you answer "yes"/"yes to all".

I see, but the dark dwarves are meant to live underground, not willing to come up to a sunlight.

Hmmm, light defence!  Set passage open to sky and watch them puke themselves to death.  Hmmm, we need someone to mod diamond reflectors to channel light into the depths...
Can underground races (or any race for that matter) be set to have fully developed cave adaptation from the start... so upon meeting them they already can't stand the light?

Such a shame that vomit can't be modded. I had a great time imagining Cave Adapted vampires that would barf [IGNITE_POINT:10000] vomit all over themselves and burst into flames, untill I realised this.

[Meanmelter]

So, either Dark Dwarf's should vomit like mad, or refuse to go in the sunlight Deon.

[Deon]

How do you want me to accomplish it?

P.S. I would like a native english-speaker to spellcheck new castes' descriptions.

Here are a few corrections (some may be fine, I forgot which ones had errors in them).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Stone dwarves are the most frequent caste of the mountain dwellers. They have thick skin and muscles and they almost lack pain receptors in these tissues. Also their bones are hard and heal quickly, so the frequent cave ins they cause is not a big deal for them.

The Ice dwarves' caste has appeared when dwarves started to settle glacier areas. They became so accustomed with the constant freezing wind and the lack of sun that their nature became to change, following the harsh conditions. With time, these qualities began to pass to their children, grand-children, and so on.

It's unknown what caused the appearance of the Aspid dwarven caste. Some say they were some cultists worshipping a great snake god, some say they were affected by a forgotten beast's poison. In any case, nowadays, it's possible to meet dwarves which bear the mark of the snake.

It is said that Moss dwarves can live anywhere. While it's not totally true, they can be good settlers in savage areas. They do not catch diseases as easy as other dwarves and their flesh heals at a lightning speed, making them easier to survive in a location with a constant outside threat.

Jade dwarves have announced their caste by themselves. They do not possess magical powers or twisted bodies, actually they are common dwarves. But their learning abilities and mental stats make other dwarves' look like idiots. They carefully pick new members of their caste and share their knowledge and secrets with them. They often take roles of nobles and scholars.

It is said that if you eat too many mushrooms and drink too much mushroom wine, your baby will be a Mushroom dwarf. These guys are extremely cheerful, sometimes even maniacal and crazy. They cannot learn as fast as other dwarves, but they can give birth to multiple babies and they mature very fast. Their lowered vision doesn't stop them from trying to get anywhere you do not want them, just to see what's up with that place.

Obsidian dwarves have a spirit of an ancient origin. They can manipulate fires at will, summoning a sparkle to lighten their way or a raging inferno to punish their foes. It means that nobody wants to see them near a booze stockpile.

[Deon]

There're some errors still (like "a thick skin") but thank you, it's better now . I will incorporate it.

P.S. Now when I read it in your spoilers, I see more errors, so it was helpful .

[Lancensis]

Coff. I...uh...corrected the corrections. :p

Great. My poor english needs real men like you .

[Daywalkah]

*Facepalm* I blame it on me having an ELA state test the past two days, and being sick of writing (and yet I still post in the forums...).

On topic: This update is great. The Stone Dwarves are very helpful.

[Deon]

Very helpful in which situations? I would like some feedback, I really urge to play around with my new dwarves but I have an exam tomorrow so I can't .

Also I've just got an excellent idea from another thread: I will make precious metals into wafers! So the strand extractor profession will be much more important, and you will weave clothes from gold and silver! A real clothing for noble dwarves and fine warriors. Also, quite hard to pierce too .

A steel dwarf is cool. A steel dwarf in a bronze armor and golden shirt and trousers is TWICE cooler.

They don't often die when a cave in occurs. Also, my Mithril Colossus slaughters most dwarves in the underground, where the miners encounter them first. The Stone Dwarves survive more often and can run away until I tame one of my Sun Dragons to keep it occupied (neither are strong enough to even injure each other, so they fight forever).

That idea sounds cool! I read part of the thread, and it is a great idea. Steel and the like can be way too easy to acquire.

Huh. I'm all for making stuff harder to acquire, but you know it's going to be about nine times more efficient to make stuff out of native gold now (not even taking into account fuel), right?

One side effect of having a dwarf produce web is the renewability of silk thread, greatly enhancing the clothing industry.  The silk thread is not constantly produced, but quick enough that you can probably have someone alternate between cloth making and thread weaving continuously.  So those abombinations are really helpful!
