Thanks Umbrage :)  And thanks for the tip, BFD.

Wizards are supposed to age as fast as humans, at least in appearance.  A twenty year old wizard and a twenty year old human look (and are) the same age, and same when both are 70, but a 200 year old wizard looks 70, and a 200 year old human is certainly dead.

Now that 31.09 is out I'm going to play around with it for a bit and work on balancing the wands and magic missiles in line with the new combat system.  Wizardly fighting may be a bit out of sync until I get an update out, which shouldn't take extremely long.

So basically... you've got Saruman's equivalent in DF! :D

Hehe.

The rainbows are what really stuck out to me.

Saruman was insufficiently fabulous.

Just a question, what is the purpose of the reading skill? I know they can read books on their skills to improve them, but what about reading for instance poetry?

Also, "For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman Ring-maker, Saruman  of Many Colours!"

Shame they missed that out of the film.

Absolutely love this mod,  great in adventure mode, I just wish you could use their abilities (For example red-wizard fireball/fire immunity... was it anti-magma? cause I had one that went swimming in lava and he ended up melting)

Was the first time I saw magma in a temple actually.

Anyways I've subcribed to this thread and look forward to updates...  (Oh it still works in 31.10)

Reading for fun leads to "satisfied at work" positive thoughts for good readers, and it keeps idlers busy.  Other than that, it's just for flavor at this point, until Toady One makes the Reading skill more useful.

Thanks for verifying the mod works for 31.10.  Unfortunately, the [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER] tag doesn't make red wizards magma-safe by itself, and I'm still tinkering a work-around.

Wasn't [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER] protecting from Dragonfire?

Huh wonder if that's a version side effect or just a really weird glitch.   the only wizard city/tower on my map... some how... managed to build the mead hall over the ocean,  which promptly fell in once I started adventure mode, lost one wizard, but I made a new one, that decided to start ontop of the keep, with LOTS of dead Wizards everywhere, I'm wondering how many houses/apartments were built over the water...

(What makes it weird, is that this was over an ocean on the warmer half of the map, not like they built on ice, and then it melted.)

I am building a tower right now, and I gotta say, good mod. The only problem I have is that pathing for fliers is buggy at best.

Who let /v/ in here?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway, I hope that future adventurer updates make this mod even more fabulous. It'd be great to wield the power of fireballs.

On a secondary note, what do you guys think about Moving Fortresses + Wizard Tower mod? Should be very ... wizardly.

I loaded up my save in the new version, spent a minute trying to find my archery range before figuring it was the room with Xs down both sides: bins of ammo and archery targets.
Urist McCrossbower cancells practice crossbowery: Unsure of which end of the room to shoot at.

Thanks to you I'm imagining warmech made from microcline, controlled by an adventurer and using sorcerers as primary offensive weapons >.<

I did a few tests in the arena and noticed that the wands are all much worse at penetrating armour than regular weapons. Full steel will deflect most blows, where it does nothing to stop regular warhammers, for example.  Magic projectiles are surprisingly deadly, though.
