if you need it its ok, though i would prefer if you dont make much changes to it (except for adding new reactions and stuff to entity) so people can basicly update with my mod alone too (then just readd those files) :x

[Black_Legion]

Is the current version of the Drow mod compatible with .25 or does it need a few tweaks?

[Rhenaya]

its fully compatible, if it wasnt i would have updated, but i play it .25 myself (with a .23 savegame)

Ah good that's what I hoped. I've been away from DF since .19 so I wanted to see if everything still checked out in the newer versions. Thanks for a great mod btw.

[Rhenaya]

well if you want i am currently testing a little new version, mainly just some entity changes (some new, so would require a new worldgen)

and getting rid of cuirass and great helm (same stats as breastplate and helm anyway, but helps with the "clothing" limit per civ, because i had a few civs now that had no boots but everything else :x)

if you have ideas etc, please share them, like new animals, plants or something like that

The only thing I have a bit of trouble with is the unique clothing and weaponry that drow have. For some reason all entities seem to have access to, or the ability to make drow equipment despite it not being in their raws. That's the only thing I've noticed from using your mod but these aren't game breaking.

With the new versions emphasis on metal scarcity I think some kind of creature with metal ( no better than copper equivalent ) bones may be good to allow a bit more flexibility with site locations. I recently embarked on a location with nothing but schist, cert, and gypsum. They died quickly. From what I know of Drow they tend to use various lizards and spiders so a "deep wyrm" or "shield-scale" lizard about the size of a cougar or large dog may fit this need without being to game breaking. Since it needs a nest box and could cost around 300 to 450 dwarf bucks this could balance the fact you have an endless supply of copper bones and toughened leather armor. I play with Fortress Defense so this may even things out with regards to having a powerful creature defending my towers. I've seen mods like http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=67320.msg1609964#msg1609964 use this concept and it plays well in harder areas and tougher embarks. For other interesting creatures various oozes could add so more oddity to the underground wildlife and quaggoths ( underground tiger-men)  could add some more threats to face.

You have a good variety of plant life but I mainly used blue lichen for any plant needs I had.

v2.1
* added ALLOWED_CREATURE tags to most entity posistions so that only drow persists in the higher ranks even with babysnatcher tag on
* babysnatcher tag is now on by default (less trade, more fun)
and also unnoted but somehow uploaded v2.0
* splitted spider related things into own files so arachnophobes can easily delete them (dont laugh a friend had this problem with the mod :x)

DL link http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2176

v2.2
* made the mod 0.34.x ready
* dungeon master got exections the new exectioner skill tag and is earlier to get (pop req 10 appointed by house priestess)
* added the cats interaction tags to the spiders


also working with interactions for a v2.3 release:
drider will be a curse from the gods (much like the werebeasts)
drow will get a cloud of darkness for attack (blinds enemy if its possible have to look at it) or at least fleeing (sneak away like squids :p)

also open for suggestions (other animals etc)

Hmm well, I'd love to see better sprites for drows that are also Ironhand compatible.

Also drow priestesses that can cast magic.

And poison for weapons and arrows. Not sure if that's possible.

[Rhenaya]

better sprites would be nice, but i dont know anyone who got time for it... anyone i asked so far didnt want to, or said yes but never gave me anything useful

[Rhenaya]

quickly added a new version up because i made some mistake in the last (see last line here ^^)

v2.3
* the gods may now curse creatures into driders
* drow can now use fairy fire to inflict a mild form of dizzy and drowsiness in combat
* drow can now use cloud of darkness to enter sneakmode for fleeing (doesnt blind enemys yet)
* removed the giant squirrel file and some custom tags from entity i carlessly included in the v2.2 rar *coughs*

Really happy to see this mod make it back to the top of the update list. I've tried a lot, and grabbed bits and pieces of others, but this mod is one that has consistently been ported from one version to the next since I first downloaded it.

Great job!

I changed the drow fighting style, and now they are using spider venom on the nails, often beat their feet (for example, beat the fallen enemies on the head). It looks very nice and efficient simple fist fight.
Spider venom is not dangerous in small quantities, but 7-10 scratches cause severe pain and bleeding, the average person quickly loses consciousness.

while i understand the idea, and somehow like it, wouldnt include it by default for my mod because this isnt something "everyone and their weird uncle" would do, its more something only a few female clerics or monks would do. while on the other hand fairy fire and cloud of darkness are their forgotten realms signature spells any drow know and use

basicly i want to use forgotten realm drow as base (as those are the dark elves i love and the "real" drow nowadays :p) and also keep them balanced and akin to dwarfs for playability in fort mode (either as enemys or playing yourself)

[Rhenaya]

v2.4
* fixed bug that drow will spam fairy fire on cooldown, on anyone they see nearby, instead of just as attack
