So, I'm gonna try this mod. I have a few questions :

1. Is it reccomended for relativly new players? (E.G managed to run a goblin free fortress for 4 years. I did not, mind you, turn off invasions. I didn't realize that I couldn't acces the goblins.)

2. Would an embark full of zombies/skeletons be a good siegebreaker? AKA will the undead attack sieges.

I've got a few problems, blendecs seem to never show, and fiend spiders are freaking easy to kill.  I actually had a dwarf kick one in the chest, collapsing both lungs and it's heart...... the dwarf was a untrained peasant hauler.

Depends what exactly you mean by new I guess but I find this mod to be great to help learn to survive a siege, you get them fast and frequent so you get to test different strategies on how to break them without risking the loss of an ancient fort, not to mention the higher difficulty..

2. Would an embark full of zombies/skeletons be a good siegebreaker? AKA will the undead attack sieges.

They'd probably attack them, I know I've had a few goblin sieges and/or ambushes show up at the same time as other enemies (as well as a few semi-megabeasts) and they all fought outside.  That said, unless its been changed, the undead in general are extremely weak these days (due to a work around from them being incredibly strong) so I doubt they'd put up a meaningful fight, plus (again unless somethings changed) oftentimes you don't have a huge amount of undead on evil maps, at least not at any given moment, undead animals are like normal ones, they come and go, and other undead creatures are even less frequent (in my experience at least, used to play evil biomes all the time, not so much these days).

So I guess in short, yes they'd probably attack but no it probably won't help in a meaningful way with you surviving the siege.

Alrighty. I embarked in a terrifying glacier. No zombies, evil creatures instead. As in yetis. Nothing has bothered me yet though. I need some help with routes though. I have never gotten them to work.

Anything I'm doing wrong?

EDIT : Disregard all of this.

Love this mod.

Been running it with some of my own modded-in races too. Extremely fun.

Thanks so much and fantastic work! I eagerly await future updates.

Thanks for all the hard work on this, its a great mod. I have an odd request, do you have a DL for 31.16? I am using that along with .18 and want to try it with .16.

Thank you!!!

This is a link to an older version of Fortress Defense II that was intended to be compatible with versions from .12 to .16. The .18 version might not be completely compatible because it gives some races innate skills.

Thank you for the link

Great thing! I finally have interesting game, reason to have military and there is bigger enemy[enemies] than bad designed menus.

[Blurk]

would it be possible to give the some (if not all) creatures a language, lets say the standard in Human or Goblin.
if yes, how?
in legends there are always quite a few conflicts (and wars) because these civilizations cant seem to communicate.

[rephikul]

the whole point of not giving creature language was to make sure they'd come and fight you.

[Blurk]

oh right forgot about that >.<

[darkflagrance]

They actually all already have languages within their civs; they just have no ability to communicate with each other.

To return the capability for diplomacy, merely add the [CAN_SPEAK] tag anywhere to each of the creature raws of all the races.

are these new civilizations hostile to each other?

they are actual civilizations, or just generated when a siege takes place? will I see them in legends mode?

only sieges or I should also expect ambushes?

Since they cannot communicate with each other, they should all be hostile to each other. I don't know how this will interact with Adventure Mode.

They are all actual civilizations. You can track their histories in Legends Mode. The Warlords who lead the attacks will be historical figures. You can see them in Adventure Mode.

only sieges or I should also expect ambushes?

Only one of the civilizations in Fortress Defense ambushes. I limited ambush capability because it tends to ruin fps.
