3.18
- 3.18 DF 0.31.18 support, ported some raw fixes, some vermins which had non-vermin tiles are fixed.

[Flaede]

Woo! I've been hanging around waiting for this to start enjoying .18 .

Quesa Necrowings, favoured of the Glitch Faerlies is now retired! On to fortress mode!

EDIT: sudden thought - I don't know how the new "tool" items work, but do you think Administrators could be given a "book" type? This could be that platinum book you mentioned. Platinum bludgeoning damage.

[Deon]

I've found that if I add new tools and try to make them through reactions, the game crashes. I forgot to report that bug. So we have to wait for a moment. Also right now tools have only cooking "flavor" in their usability settings.

This could be that platinum book you mentioned.

There're different types of platinum books for each profession.

WOOT I WSA WAITING ALL DAY LONG FOR THIS going to make master 500 years world

I like asking in this thread more than any other so here goes :>

Do you guys/gals have any good tip for military? How do you divide Training/Duty scheduling? And the squads?

I have right now one squad with 10 Melee dwarfs, and one squad with 5 Ranged dwarfs. But I don't know how to distribute them so that I have like half the squad training and the other on duty. Do I have to get two squads of Melee dwarfs just to have one training and one on duty? And is it possible to train them to hard so they starve? :/

I asked this in the http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=52208.msg1723947#msg1723947 aswell.

I don't know if I play this game "wrong" When do you guys find time to do all these crazy stuff you're doing. I've never ever gotten past Iron-production.
It goes something like this.

01: Embark. Choping trees, fixing Farms.
02: Digging out bedrooms (some)
03: Digging out workshops (mostly Mason, Carpenter, Gem, Craft, Bow, Mechanic and Leather)

04: Here it gets abit diffuse, Either I go for more food production or start my ironworks to get up.
I often dig straight down to the magma, and try to avoid caves on the way. I think its very annoying to spend Choke and stuff on 'regular' non-magma works. Its mostly here the game ends for me.

05: If I get my Ironworks up, I don't really know what to do. Sometimes I go for cloth industry, but I just get confused, and try to do alittle bit of everything.

By this time it probobly gone some weeks irl, and a new version is up so I just restart :p

[Deon]

I usually start steelmaking as soon as possible and make all my important dwarves a full steel gear. I also like to make danger rooms: you make a room full of wooden upright spikes attached to one lever, then you move your steel-clad dwarves inside and start to pull the lever. They gain blocking and dodging skills in no time.

This should be interesting to see how this works. I had an unreleased magic mod for myself in 40d that worked quite nicely. Though the features that made it work are no longer available.

I'm gone for a few months and Genesis is still going strong. Great job Deon!

[Deon]

I have question i don't know where else to ask but how do i get illithied mental shield ability or use it?

Right now they have shields as additional bodyparts which work well for blocking. I plan to make them tissues instead, same with balor shadow cloaks.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Are most of the tomes supposed to be references? Like, 'Stairway to Heaven', '300 keepers', and 'The One Ring', just to name a few.

[toupz]

Thanks i love playing as illithid no matter what, sucks when i create an illithid that cannot fly though but that's randomness of the thing it's cool

[Deon]

Huh, you can pick a caste the same way you pick a gender.

[iceball3]

Now this will be helpful, i found some raws for some previous attempt at magic. Thanks to whoever left these.
