Large gems and BLOOD! theres currently no use for the barrels of stuff so now you'd be forced to maintain trade if you want to make the special metals.

Blood alone would be worth it. That's easy to buy in bulk. Blood and powdered gems? Do want.

[piecewise]

Fire arrows/bolts don't actually cause fire or anything, and you can just hang on to them. I do like how they cause bursts of boiling blood once they're actually in someone. More like red hot arrows then flaming arrows.  They are a great way to be an archer though since you can pull arrows out of thin air.

Did you turn your temperature ON? With it ON they burn stuff and start forest fires.

I don't know how to request blood because it's in barrels. There's no CONTAINS_BLOOD token.

If the alchemy reactions requiring gems were to instead require large gems, would that make it hard enough to obtain?  I know you can get large gems fairly easily through trading, but that would get pretty expensive.

I think more about wasting common gems so you could get alchemy stuff en masse, but it would require some tools like calcinators, mortars etc. which would require large gems to be made of.

Also the idea of metal-laced rock is nice, but a simple change from vein to cluster helps the situation a lot. I will make an optional file with much less ore .

I don't want mithril to be as good as Tolkien's metal, but it will be definitely on par with sun gold. I plan to make sun gold better for swords, and mithril for armors.

TOADY!!  *fist shake*

I guess we'll wait on that one.

Oh, you have that off by default? How odd. I still got bursts of boiling nord blood for some reason.

Seriously...does anyone have an effective embark profile I can use? For Genesis? Please?

Or if not a profile suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Go to the DF Wiki.

I've been there...great site but, as I mentioned, the regular embark builds are useless as guides for Genesis.

Agreed... embark costs more in Genesis.

[Flaede]

Honestly, in Genesis it depends a lot more on where you're embarking.

For instance, if it's a jungle, an axe and a pick and some booze are all you really need. I pour the rest into pets.
Herbalist + wood make everything else I need.

Could there be an option for a "Tolkien like Mitrihil"?
I would like to have Mithril wich is better than red Steel, maybe there are more people who would like this?

Heh, it will be better for armors. I am not sure about weapons. It was quite light so it won't be good for hammers, but daggers should be nice I think .

You can alter the amount of points in the world gen settings.

Oh, mithril being steel-class? Then why bother with it, as black steel is easier to make and better. (Maybe mithril max_edge would be iron-like?)
Should one have more mithril than home caravan brings red steel?
My opinion on mithril-making: steel + sterling silver + platinum + bismuth. In a magma forge.

A semimegabeast suggestion: fireball-spitting flying griffon.

Here's two embark profiles I've used, with world_gen.txt/[EMBARK_POINTS:1500]

Eh, don't you think that it would be easier to dig down to Adamantine then? I want metals to be accessible enough gameplay-wise .

[DarkCephis]

How about something like us booze as a component.  It is always around.  How about taking gems and turning them in to gem dust or magic dust and using the powder as a base for mithirl reactions.  I imagine the process would be something like this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Urist Mcalchmist take s gem and smashes it with his beard.  Right after drinks a barrel of booze, and then wrings out damp powdery beard into magic dust bag. Tolken wiki said Mithirl is mined so make an ore or have it be extracted from a current ore. I would like to suggest gysum because i find it useless and I get it frequently.  Mix proto Mithril and magic dust and maybe some more booze.
