Raws only version doesn't work. New version works just fine. Good night, Narhiril.  And again, I feel like such a prick for not helping test the shedim.

Alright well, I'm not sure what would be causing that.  At least you got it working, though.  And don't worry, there will always be more opportunities to test things.


If anyone else runs into this problem, please let me know, and try to give as many details as possible.

[Imp]

This probably isn't a bug... and probably isn't a feature...  And I really, really doubt it's an Easter Egg, cause.... I can't imagine anyone, even our awesome and creative Narhiril ever choosing to put such a minor meaningless Easter Egg in such an insignificant place.

But this caught my eye, and then my attention, and is so unique and different that it makes me really wonder how this happened - I'd ask why it was done, but I cannot imagine this having been done on purpose...

So I'm getting ready to embark on the woo-new LoFR, and I'm buying up some different sorts of cheap meats to give me many easily-emptied barrels (and some motivation to see what animals the parent civ has access to, cause I usually wonder that).

I've looked at a lot of body parts, and bought a lot of the cheap ones over the different games.  Carbunkle usually comes in two forms, meat and prepared intestines, and I spotted it where I roughly remember it always being, between the bronze-shelled tortoise and the saber-toothed tiger parts.

Several pages later, and oh, wait.... that's a whole lot of carbunkle parts.

Pretty much the rest of a carcass, all the bits most critters have, but without the meat and intestines, placed between the giant kea bits and the wolf bits.

It's a small thing to have blown my mind so much, but.... I've never, ever seen meat 'out of order' before.  Makes me wonder if this is empyrean carbunkle parts, maybe.  But if so, it's missing the meat and intestines.... duped over maybe?  But there's been empyreans for as long as I've played, but not this weird separate prepared-parts for them.

Ahh well, I may get to caught in the minutia to ever actually get this game started, but you've sure made an interesting-in-VERY-many ways new LoFR

Anyone got trouble constructing the Temple of Water? I have both sacred pool construction sets, but it still says I require that. I'm playing the older version (want to finish off this fort before playing the new one)

This marks my first victory over the voidwalkers on open ground in my fortress.

Voidwalker ambush! The armies are split. The causeway in the middle seperates the soldiers on the west (led by the anonymous hammerlord) and the soldiers in the north (led by the champion axedwarf Fath). Each group consists of a mixture of different soldiers in different squads. Both groups are ambushed by the void obliterators. The west voidwalker force is led by an obliterator veteran, while the northern ambushers answer to the sinister figure that is busy projected energies of the void onto the rampants, slowly tearing apart an unlucky recruit marksdwarf.



There was general panic, as voidwalkers are unstoppable on the field. The western front, however, quickly strikes down a voidwalker. The hammerlord, spearmaster and captain of the guard works their way through the crowd, shattering limbs with each blow from a masterwork iovium hammer, masterwork voidshard spear and iovium mace. The voidwalkers retaliate, and a proficiently skilled swordsdwarf is swarmed and bludgeoned beyond recognition. The spearmaster coup de grace a voidwalker and stabs another full of holes. The captain of the guard has his knees shattered and manages to crawl away from the fighting.

The northern front immediately loses two well trained speardwarves. The battle divides out into duels between duos and trios, with war beasts, dwarves and voidwalker tangling. The champion hacks apart two voidwalkers that attacks him (blocking every shot from one while hacking apart ther other before turning and shield bashing the other with a serrated targe followed by a finish to the head). At this point, the western front had recovered and smashed their opponents, with one dead and two moderately injured. They rush to the aid of the northern front.

The northern army regroups as the champion axedwarf finishes off his own target and moves around aiding his comrades, killing one voidwalker here, another there. Soon the northern army has destroyed the voidwalker squad. They rally about the champion and charges the remaining two voidwalkers of the squad. Suddenly, a speardwarf that crawled south injured reveals another ambush squad! They crowd about him and start to attack, but he somehow rolls away and blocks all of the attacks. The northern army is stalled in their as some members of the new squad break off the beatdown and engage them.

As the northern army finish off the few attackers and the annihilator that has been picking off marksdwarves, the western army and the swordsdwarves that have sallied out the gates have secured their rear, killing a few stragglers as the northern army pushes downwards to help the speardwarf that was getting beaten upon.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The voidwalker squad is destroyed, and the speardwarf is about to be carted off to the hospital. However, there are stragglers here and there. An axedwarf that was injured and ran to the east was chased by a voidwalker.



He hacks off a wing, but his injuries would have doomed him... if not for the two of his sabre tooths, who leaped and tore at the voidwalker's limbs, who retreated a few steps and get caught up in the advancing army, whom I thought I could at least avenge the axedwarf with- turns out I'm so pleasantly surprised by the heroic tigers who saves the axe dwarf.

Victory! *Age of Empires victory theme*

I lost no more than 5 dwarves, while killing about 4 squads of voidwalkers. Although I got a ton of dwarves that have knee caps, legs, and arms heavily injured, meaning I will need to convert them to wavebreakers or something to restore their bodies. That is, if the Temple of Water would stop being buggy and let me build it...

Anyway, just HAD to note this battle down. True, not as well written as it was rushed and informal. But come on guys, dead voidwalkers? Awww Yeaah.

Did you bless the water and everything?

[Pan]

Say what? Bless the water?

EDIT: Oh I see, silly me. Checked ritual reference.

I have to ask, does this mod do anything to taming system? I cannot seem to do anything at my kennels other than "capture a live land animal" and "tame a small animal". I never proficiently used the taming system before I installed the mod, but I at least remember being able to use it.

[Meph]

The taming system changed, you now make Zones for it, with using the hotkey i, and assign animals independitly for taming in the animals stockscreen. This has been done by Today and is official DF, not LFR.

Here's a scary new thing, at least new and scary to me.  Was checking the gods of my starting seven and saw that someone worships Libash, the Stormy Thorn, female dwarf of chaos...

And in 83, The Strike of Throwing was created by Libash.

I've never seen a god have such a message before... recieving worship and cursing people, sure.

Has this god made an artifact?  If so... I'm very glad for my world that DF doesn't really connect concepts together that tightly.  Chaos creating a Strike of Throwing just makes me feel scared for the world!

it made a slab if LFR has any new Secrets then it might be one of those or it just a necromancer 

[Pan]

Anyone tried the new versions yet?

Narhiril, what will be next on your list?

[fire1666]

i had a strange idea...........
just a suggestion, add secret underground chambers that have got some living vangard people inside (armed of course).
or a vanguard race (small but VERY powerful).
also like the update spiders are cool

[fire1666]

sorry for dobble post but i know your working on making the dwarfs have TONES of new stuff and i dont blame you BUT, is it posible to add the vanguard as a playable race???
simular tech and socity to dwarfs but with a MASSIVE tech advantage e.g.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 somthing like a chainsword as a melee weapon?http://strategicgamingclub.webs.com/photos/warhammer%2040k%20Space%20marines/chain-sword.jpg

also they could be rearly imperalistic, e.g swordsmen = "vanguard storm trooper" axemen = "vanguard beserker" and so on, i know your busy dude but i think this would make this mod stand apart from others.
if you want me too i will write down some more information if you need it.

[Pan]

Ooh, interesting idea. Although I'm not sure if underground tribes can be armed with anything but wooden weapons...

[Meph]

Underground tribes can be armed with anzthing, from javelins to adamantine great axes. Speaking from experience.
