Having a great time with this mod. A few questions:
1. Furies and their 'camping' is getting annoying, mainly because my embark has a sheer cliff face that they tend to appear all scattered upon, and it isn't very entertaining trying to watch a battle that involves fliers on multiple z-levels versus dwarves on multiple z-levels. And omg, the bolts lying all over the map afterwards. Is there a way to turn Furies off (and only them) from invading, without regenning? I had hoped they'd provide entertainment in the novelty of making a fort defense that stops flying invaders, but the camping thing just makes them more like annoying squatters you have to go kick off your land (not your fault, I know).
2. Playing Normal, nobody shows up with much armor? For instance, the first siege with War Elephants, they went directly from fearsome to outright adorable once I realized they were not equipped with steel as the README had mentioned, and instead were wearing mere leather caps (which I immediately imagined as fez's). Everyone else shows up in a hodge-podge of copper/silver/iron.
As an aside, the race that gave me the most problems was the Beak Wolves. They showed up very quickly, before anyone else, and well before I had gotten any metal armor churned out. They did a real number on my leather-clad dwarves, I only had one survivor fir for military duty afterwards (the few others that did survive had lots of hands and feet ripped off). Not the mod's fault though, mostly my rustiness with DF (thought leather was better than that) and the current map's lack of any iron at all.
Fun stuff, its a good challenge.
