For all who are interested here is a modefied version of dwarf fortress genesis, that changes the game into orc fortress, the orcs are the main playable race now. this is not just the visuals but also most names, and certain workshop items etc. The is currently version 0.9, this means that most things are working, only certain things in the naming is not correctly done yet.

I see you've changed the EXE icon, but you'd better check the error log .

Now it has

*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/entity_orcs - kopie.txt"
ORCS:Unrecognized Entity Token: civ_CONTROLLABLE

I guess the COPY file should not be there? also, it's CIV_CONTROLLABLE.

P.S. This file is not loaded though, because the first line is different from the file name, but better remove it to stop confusing people with error logs.

Ah, thanks for that, forgot to take it out. it are coppy's of the original files

[dimosa]

and i probs change the icon back i people experience problems with it

[LordRuin]

I'm running Windows XP. I've figured out the problem. Its with the music. If one deletes the music files it won't cashe your
computer into a reboot.

That sounds AWESOME. Would you think, perhaps, at one point their could be a ingame option that would allow you to pick if
you would like to either be orcs, or dwarves?

Upon checking the wiki, isn't it lacking in the info department, specifically the Expanded bestiary section?

[Treason]

So I've run into a difficulty that I haven't found, before, in the Mod.

Each game I've played with the latest version has been prolific with sieges (I'm talking about 7+ invasions during the first few months of the turn of the first year).  I beat them back with an alternate series of traps and meat dwarshields, but then the "difficulty" shows up...

My siege flag doesn't go away.  Ever.  All invaders are dead, their items are being happily divided up amongst the rest of the dwarfs, I have the only path into my fortress open for months, and there's no listing of "invader" under the unit list.  I've even downloaded Runesmith to check the amount of creatures currently in my region that might be hidden, and there's nothing that would indicate an invader is still hanging about.

I'm caught in endless sieges of nothing.  No caravans.  No migrants (darn freeloaders, anyway).  Nothing.

Doesn't even help when new invasions show up, get killed, or just pack up and leave.  I'm always in the middle of some non-existent siege.

Anyone had this creep up on them?  More importantly, anyone have a work around?

It is possible, but in the civ selection screen you cant see if you chose dwarves or orcs. Also requires me the make the new dwarf race ( previously know as orcs ) more advanced, this requires some work. if i ever decide to add this feature i want to change the civ selection screen that is shows the name and the race of the civ, and i will probs add more as just orcs and dwarfs. Currenlt i'm first trying to perfect the orc race so that it makes sense in a matter of speaking. After that i will look into the option for multiple races to play with.

[dimosa]

Currently version 0.93 is online, if everything is in order the next version will be 1.0, I've now changed how the normal orc civilizations chose there starting sites, so they wont build in mountains anymore and that the outdoor seeds will be available from the embark screen.

Also will i be editing weapon restrictions etc, at least looking in to it, so that a orc doesn't use a short sword but a katana instead. and that a warhammer is considered a 2h weapon same for bows and Xbows. this may currently be not the case in dwarf fortress but u are guite the man if you can wield a crossbow and a shield at the same time. Not sure about bows yet, maybe i'll add bows that have a shield attached to them.

This will all be added in the 1.0 release.

Until that time this is what you get.

When that is done, and i have the time i will look into a option to make all mayor races as a playable race. But if i decide to do this it will take several weeks at least before i get out a single working version

You know you have truly made a good mod when people start making mods of your mod.  Keep up the good Deon and Thank You.

[Trapezohedron]

Due to the sheer amount of awesome this mod pumps through my dwarven blood, I shall endorse this mod in my sig.

Guys, You have made me proud. *salute*

[TomiTapio]

Thanks guys! I do have made a lot of tunings to Deon's mod! I have no idea how many people are enjoying my new minerals and trees. Hope to get them approved into Deon's release. I'd rather not be a spin-off release but a major contributor. (I guesstimate there are 350 Genesis players give or take a hundred)

Upon checking the wiki, isn't it lacking in the info department, specifically the Expanded bestiary section?

Yep, it's very sparse on the info. But so is the vanilla DF creatures (soon to have 120 more creatures and their giant and -man variants) , where the main documentation is "the raws are on the wiki for you to read".

Anyone can help, such as making a chart/spreadsheet of creature name, bodytype, speed, size (can vary by caste), description, pet, trainable, usefulness, its attacks, and how dangerous they are. And then someone who has writing rights on the genesis wiki can paste that chart there. I estimate two minutes per creature, around 200 minutes of work.

Seven in first winter! Whoa! How do you get your wealth and population super high in the first year? I don't think I've ever had a "constant siege" problem. (Did you mean seven combat-groups of hostiles?)
Try setting pile of nobbs as hunters, to wander around the map and meet-n-greet possible stealthers.

after a long thinking (about a year's worth) i decided to check it out.
