The current FD Mod seems to cause necromancer towers to not ever be built. I have seen this with both the Masterwork mod as well as in worlds I gen using FD (bonus and challenge enabled). Any ideas why this might be?

Edit: Seems that necromancers are just as weak to the increased difficulty level as the dorfs. Very hard to get them be built at all but with the right settings and a bit of luck it is possible.

Interesting. Any science on how this affects Fortress Mode ? No stray necromancers coming by ? If this is so, I would add custom made, to ensure that people have fun.

[Emulated_Reality]

I've not had any yet, but have not played enough for it to be conclusive. I can tell you that necromancers in legends are being killed off too early to write books and they have no significant activities. It may be the case that would-be necromancer producing civs are getting sieges and fail to pass their knowledge. Unless you can mod towers in after world gen its going to be difficult to have a world with both the added civs/invaders as well as normal necromancy.

I'd recommend trying to start early and see if the necromancers survive. After all, too long in world gen and you'll memory leak to death anyway.

I usually play with 10 years of history. That is enough to get all megabeasts fully grown on my mod, and keep the civs alive. (since I have 200 titans in every custom worldgen setting)

If I didn't have to produce a ton of writing in the coming week I'd be bugfixing this immediately. But I haven't had much time even this weekend to do the work I need to do academically, let alone for this mod...

[DustanH]

any update on this awesome mod?

[Naryar]

So no dragons as the ultimate siegers ?

I'd second this as a neat addition. Dragon flights could be awesome.

Also adding necros so that you don't have to be near a tower to get the nice new enemy would be cool.

[darkflagrance]

I'm waiting till the weekend to make updates. Lately I've been dealing with a swamp of other work that needed taking care of.

Great mod! But creatures that should breathe fire aren't for me. My errorlog seems to indicate that the game doesn't like the [FIREBREATH] and [DRAGONFIREBREATH] tokens.

It looks like dragons no longer have [DRAGONFIREBREATH], they now have

It's kind of hard for me to search this thread for 34.0 since it's in the title, so...
i dl'd it and it's 31.25. Is the title suggesting I can copy the objects into 34.0x and get it working?

Installing it is a matter of copying a bunch of *.txt files into a DF raw/objects/ subdirectory.  I've done it with 0.34.x and it seems to be working so far.

[darkflagrance]

Updated for 34.05; really just raw fixes. See the front page for links.

I'm going to make a new file entry for the Basic+Challenge Mode combined file and upload that soon. I'm also only going to make mirrors on demand.

[Meph]

Did you alter only the creatures, or the entity files as well ? I ask since I have your races optional in my mod, and of course dont want to offer an outdated version
