Deon, do you still have those tags that causes weapons to do BURN damage and stuff? Can you even use them in .08?

[afoninv]

In .31 these tags are no more...

[Meanmelter]

Sucks then. Back in .40d I had Arrows that would sometimes set things on fire. It was awesome to see goblins running around on fire...

[Deon]

You are making something up here, old BURN/HEAT/COLD damage only changed the description of the attacks, it couldn't change temperature or ignite people. They didn't fit the material system thus Toady got rid of them.

UmbrageOfSnow, there's nothing in the caste raws indicating biomes, so you've got just a dumb luck. You have a chance to get all 7 as steel dwarves (once I had 5 out of 7) but it's  very unlikely.

[Medicine Man]

Hey Deon I just have a question,can an osman who is a grand master kicker roundhouse kick?

[afoninv]

Dwarven black grog is still cookable

[Deon]

Okay, missed that one. It's not 3.0 still so it's okay I guess . And Toady One promised to fix all-booze foods anyway.

A couple of trap components for your consideration. These seem to work as intended.

Deon raptors teeth cannot pierce copper so they are pretty harmless till you get over exert and strangled

Ah man! I knew I forgot something! New trap components! Thank you, I will put them in.

Deon raptors teeth cannot pierce copper so they are pretty harmless till you get over exert and strangled

Well, they are not metal dinosaurs shooting laz0rs, so yeah, they cannot bite through metals.

[Medicine Man]

What about dragon raptors?

[Carpman]

Also I have never told that stone dwarves are meant to be dominant. They are more frequent than other castes, but there's plenty of others too.

Sorry, I didn't mean to complain, I really like this mod and you can put my name down as someone who uses it.

[UmbrageOfSnow]

Likewise, I was nervous about the dwarf castes, but I'm having a blast with them.  Aspid and Obsidian dwarves rule.  And the massive increase in variety of everything is just great.

Can't wait to get further in.  But I think I may play this as my standard dwarf fortress now.

[Deon]

What about dragon raptors?

Yeah, better teeth for dragons, dragon raptors and the like sound like a good idea.

Also I have never told that stone dwarves are meant to be dominant. They are more frequent than other castes, but there's plenty of others too.

I didn't think you tried to complain, I just tried to explain.

UmbrageOfSnow, thank you .

[Mister Lingo]

Hey I'm loving this mod, it's the only one I use since it doesn't change the flavor of the game too much. The new music is great, although I wish it could cycle through the old tune as well. The only real suggestion I have is to possibly add some way to see what caste a dwarf belongs to besides going through to their thoughts and appearance screen. I don't know if it's plausible but maybe you could add the caste name somewhere near their name/nickname? Very minor complaint, I can never remember which dwarf tile means what XD You can definitely put my name down as a player of the Genesis Mod! I can't go back now!
Also, does someone have a link to somewhere that explains how to put your old save game into a new game version? I have a fortress made in version 0.31.06 and don't feel like starting all over now that Genesis .08 is out.
