Ok we all know that the object arena mode is pretty fun to play around with but the fact is you have no real control on the other hand the standard modes allow a crazy amount of control but you can't really have fun with it unless losing your fortress witch took for ever to make
In short I was Thinking of somesort of mod that would allow you to play dwarffortressmode with arena object spawver active aswell reasons for doing this would be
1. biggest blood bath ever right outside your very own fortress gate ALL HAIL MIGHTY PLEB RUSH!!!
2. Countersiegeing  the problem is that anybody can besiege you and not suffer anything would'nt be fun to siege their fort for once?
3. screwin' around see how many live objects can be tossed by one draw bridge
the list goes on and on 
The problem is I have no coding knowledge whatso ever so just throwing that idea out there
And if someone does make it please make a pre packeged version for us folks who can't do anything right

Almost, except that currently creating life is impossible, and that this created life could only be given equipment if it were a dwarf (or otherwise your controlled civilization) and could only gain skills conventionally.  So... no, the game isn't really designed for that.

[G-Flex]

Yeah, this is virtually impossible. Hate to break it to you.

[elctropenguin]

  oh well back to the drawing board (what i really just want is something that spawns dwarfs they're extremely needed to invade the sinister areas

[Girlinhat]

Or you could man up and do it the old fashioned way like everyone else.

[elctropenguin]

you ever been to a sinister zone?

[G-Flex]

Psh. "Sinister" isn't even high-savagery.

You can create a sort-of-spawnable caste by taking the 'intelligent' tag out of the general part of the creature entry and putting it in the caste(s) you want to be intelligent.
Then you add the following tags to the sort-of-spawnable caste:

[CAN_LEARN] If you want them to be able to learn.
[CAN_SPEAK] If you want them to have names upon embark and upon immigration. Removing this stops them being classed as sapient, with all the ethics-related fun that implies.
[COMMON_DOMESTIC] To have them buyable. If you don't set a value, it will default to 1 dorfbuck.
[PET] You need them to have some sort of function. The pet tag allows them to have a value set. The other options (wagon puller, mount, something else I'm forgetting) might work too.



You'll need DT if you want them to do any jobs, since the butchery menu will always be active.
They can be enrolled in the military, will equip armour and take direct orders, and will probably follow schedules and train. This should mean that you can use the default interface if you're only planning on using these dwarves for military.
Additionally, skills can be set by caste, so you can bring them pre-trained (you still need to bring your own armour though).

Been there, killed that. You ever been to a terrifying beach?

[elctropenguin]

hmm its funny because makable military dwarfs would be quite useful all round this idea needs to be more developed its possible but theres no real way of effectively using it as a game element

[Girlinhat]

Terrifying tropical shrubland, that's Savage Evil.  Zombie elephants backed by zombie giant lions and goblin ambushes.  Really, if you're having that much trouble, double-check your play style and learn how to no suck.

[Max White]

I like the beach for the sand, sun and zombie whales.
