Hey, .09 is out now! Maybe I will update OldGenesis(TM) tonight, within six hours.

[Deon]

Awesome.

You did not tell how do you want me to name nords out of that list (or something similar).

I went ahead and added a rare skald caste to nords, they can sing songs and inspire friendly people (an opposite of a curse).
Plain humans get either prophets (buff friends) or shamans (curse enemies) based on their ethnicity.


New enemy race is being worked on. Corruptors.

Wrestlers - mindflayers. They can cast invisibility and levitate for short period of time. They can inject larva which has a good chance to make the person crazed for some time.
Pikemen - stygians, mindflayers with a tail instead of legs. They have terrifying glaives and can cause confusion (dissiness, slowdown).
Swordsmen and axemen are just thralls.
Crossbowmen are soulhunters, faceless creatures surrounded by shadows. They are originally good with crossbows and they can paralyze a single person with their gaze.


Also beak dogs are gone. Evil races now ride blight hounds, scaled dog-like creatures with a carapace and a scorpion tail. They can speed up (cast haste on themselves) to leap ahead for a charge.

[Rumrusher]

aren't beakdogs the creatures in goldenaxe you could ride?

[Dohon]

Hey Deon, any plans regarding adding the dwergi?

[Tirion]

I'm testing the brainstem mod in adventurer mode, so far it's good, headstabs are no longer an instakill but they are still serious injuries... usually.

Also, Deon, please don't forget to include the trade liasons for other races, if it's still possible in the new release.

EDIT: and please, if possible, could you remove the fixing of attributes and removal of hunger, thirst and drowsiness caused by learning secrets? Just because someone learns the secret of life and death, he doesn't need to become a lich, nor does he become incapable of doing push-ups. That's vampires. And could you please add more secrets/learnable magic? Fireballs, flight, ability to transform into something else at will, emitting vapors that bestow blessings/curses... the possibilities are numerous.

[TomiTapio]

I guess the name "Niflung" (Niflungr) sounds the best to me. Nibelung would be more familiar to folks, but I'd rather not have that.

[Mrhappyface]

Nice to see a reference to Siegfried Deon.

[Meph]

How well known is the song of the nibelungs outside of germany anyway ? If I would go around and start asking random passerbys in germany about it most wouldnt know it...

[Jeoshua]

I'm an American, and I know about the whole Nibelung thing, and how it was used in propaganda.

So... I'd say midling to fairly well.

[TomiTapio]

When there's a big tangle of cables, it's a Kabelungenlied. :-īP
Opera fans and Tolkien fans should have heard of the Nibelungenlied.

.08 changes, 2012-05-14:

More toys and domestic tools to civs. As per vanilla changes, drum and puzzlebox can be made now (hard_mat allowed).
Nerfed beastmen a little, in the natural skills department. And speed down a little.
Beastmen come a little later, and only once a year (winter).
Boosted crossbows and their skill a little.

a few new trees: silver birch, white willow, goat willow (only willow that tolerates dry area), sallow aka grey willow.
yellow birch: fairwood. Good for floors?
Rowan aka Mountain ash, fairwood, unrelated to true ash trees. Quicken, Quickbeam, Wicken, wiggen tree, Witchwood, dogberry. "The wood is tough and strong, and was traditionally used for handles of tools, cart-wheels and planks or beams."

New: [CREATURE:CAT_SWAMP] based on Iriomote cat (a rare type of Leopard cat)
New: [CREATURE:MACAQUE_SNOW] based on Japanese macaque. Shearable like sheep.
Clear zircon is no longer a night creature symbol. (Ironhand-only issue)
Gorilla leather from 10 to 20 value.


.09 changes, 2012-05-17:
- new three-part brain from the Brain Stem project -- not save compatible! Roll a new world.
- on some worlds, Orcs may be evil and at war with you!
- made Pentlandite iron & nickel ore rarer (done testing with it)
- less minerals in my custom worldgen parameters

[Jeoshua]

While it's a decent name, I just worry that the whole Nibelung connection adds a bit of connotations I wouldn't have assumed for the Nords, at all.  When I think of them, they're more like the semi-mythical Rus, or even straight-up Vikings.

[Tirion]

34.09? Thank you TomiTapio, hopefully that version's fort mod will not be so broken

[Twopences]

i was wondering if any1 could tell me about dwarf therapist and this mod
since there are alot of new workshops i was thinking there was supposed to be alot of new jobs aswell
on the dwarf therapist ver for this mod (whit the castes) is it only supposed to add castes or is it supposed to add new job aswell or does the new workshops use the vanilla jobs ?
hope that ppl will answer me

[Meph]

All workshops use normal skills that are in DF already. It is impossible to add new jobs/skills to the game.

There is a version of the dwarf therapist by splinterz that does read out the castes as well, but is not updated to 34.09 yet. Hope that helps

[Twopences]

ok ty for the answer helped alot
