http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=98196.0I really like the direction that mod is going, both of you have some of the same game fixes and ideas, but I don't feel any drawbacks with his.
Going down your list of features on the OP lets see,
I like how you implemented your elves, and even though its a temporary fix, It irks me to make them herbivores, as I like to envision the elfs in this game to actually be dark extremist forest cultists. Not sure I really agree with them not being able to make their armor/weaponry on site either unless it's a game limitation.
I love everything you added in the more dangerous life tab, though not sure I agree with the dwarves being lazier or slower.
Your equipment overhaul is nice, economy overhaul is nice.
I like your removal of sheriff and captain, and just giving that stuff to exp leader, though I don't like the idea of dwarves hating nobles in general. I'm not sure what you mean by this section as well:
+ 1 mandate nobles: military captains & champions
+ 3 mandate nobles: Chief medic & broker
+ 5 mandate nobles: Military leaderI don't agree with your skill nerfs.
I like your metal overhauls except for your adamantine overhaul.
I like your training overhaul.
The altar is pretty interesting.
In your streamlined system tab, the top two features are nice, not sure I like the removal of all the things in the less is more however. I agree with tallow and pig iron being removed however. Love the color stone thing.
Don't really agree with the removal of miasma either, as personally for me I don't have FPS issues.
There's things I was looking at for your .25 added features as well like removing the .25 such and so on that I wasn't to fond with that also aren't on the OP features list.
I understand you're trying to make the game harder, and crippling a lot of features to do that does make sense, but there's certain things I would rather keep even if they keep the game easy, as this mod just had a lot of interesting little funs things that interested me and not so much the harder difficulty and FPS savers.
I don't want you to like go through my suggestions and make a butchered version as that wouldn't be fair, I guess the mod overall just isn't what I'm really looking for, the MDF mod is more what I'm looking for. However maybe you could make integrate-able shell packages of certain features to just shove in any other game, such as the altar only, or the color block workshop only, etc. But that wouldn't really work either because I love entire chunks like your creature changes lol.
