That should do it.

[TomiTapio]

Sorry for being random and off topic, but I must know: TomiTapio, are you taking over for Deon or filling in for a while? He hasn't been online in a while, and you seem to be working on some things in the mod.

I'm just fine-tuning things for myself. Can't be arsed to make creature graphics or 20 hours of weapon testing. But I can let people download my version of genesis,
here's my current raws: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8967397/DF3110genesis281-Tomi-raw.zip
Have 4 kinds of dogs and 2 kinds of cats. Giant Gargoyle and Giant Otter too. The new creatures don't have a graphic tile So they're the corpse symbol 255.

Have one type of gibbon and "camel", got tired of "twooo-huuumped caaaamel leather". No illithids at all, and dogs & horses are faster than in vanilla.
Oh and the megabeasts ignore traps and come quite much sooner, get those first migrants to train! Also altered dwarf caste ratios to get more males, had 8 males 55 females a few forts ago.

After generating a world, check that there are still goblins around (Control-Find in world_sites_and_pops.txt).

   Owner: The Accidental Monster, goblins
   Parent Civ: The Murky Curses, goblins
   80 osmans
   1 ass brute (random demon)
   7 osman prisoners

Move the end date back a couple hundred years or so?

What's the reasoning behind that? More time allows more civilizations to grow and not kill each other out? Why do the illithids always get massacred? I'd love to be able to create some awful evil world where you have to keep 50% of your dwarves as military and get sieged constantly by snakemen, goblins and illithid.

Would changing the megabeast thing affect a game in progress?

If you change it in the init/ raws of the save game folder it does.

Ass brute? XD

[Haspen]

Ass brute? XD

Just an old word for 'donkey'.

Don't get yer imaginatin' all excited, son'.

Yeah, thats the idea.

Do the Display Cases actually work, and if so, what are they for?

Shouldn't, just on next roll-if-megabeast-attacks check the conditions are different (less population required for attack.) I was mighty annoyed when a wildlife-catching cage trap stopped a mighty and huge Hydra. Hydras should be the size of a few workshops, not the size of half a cave-ogre.

Deleting creatures and items and civs breaks the most across different raws. Adding creatures to save's raws should work fine.

This should be interesting... my 2nd siege of .31.xx arrived, it's year 5 late autumn. We have 620k wealth and 97 dwarves.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

19 goblins ON MOUNTS or with pets: giant toads, giant olms, cave crocs, jabberers...
Maybe I need to make better mounts for the gob civ.

Edit: Total victory, thanks to our armor and training. Orcs' fire ravages the area.

wtf we have a caged "Stray Raptor Furnace Operator". So I remove CAN_LEARN from raptors.

Damn, I think I'll have to make a new fort. I've only had some "provoked" fights so far in the cavern. I have 2.5M wealth and 81 dwarves. Where art thou snakemen?

However my ultra-epic legendary speardwarf died to mummies, didn't know how nasty they are if you actually engage them. He died really fast, and mind you this guy two-hit an illithid.

EDIT:

Are steel dwarves immune to the mummy explosions of pus and really nasty stuff?

Do the Display Cases actually work, and if so, what are they for?

The display case is made of a block, clear glass box, and any item. Intended to allow craft artifacts to boost room value by making them buildable, they also have a purely decorative use.

[rynait]

hello all,

well after not appreciating the illithids and certain races to crowd out a medium map,  I broke up the entity_default.txt
into "several" race text files.  This allows me to "ahem, rename a race file to bak" and make the selected race disappear
from the world generate.

I already attempted to break down the creature_standard to achieve the same "oops intention" 
and that did not work quite well.

So for now, the only way to get rid of certain races from your map, is to remove the undesirables from the
entity_default.txt and regenerate.

If someone wants my "breakdown" entity text files, ask!!

Ah.  I must've failed in making them; I immediately made one with granite rocks thinking it was apart of the construction.

[Lord Shonus]

So you put a granite rock on display.

Yep. 

Hey Deon, if you're interested, I made a weight set workshop to compliment the Training Dummies and the Obstacle Courses so we can train Shield and Armor skills now.
