Hi.
I'm making a 40k mod for DF, and I have a few questions.

Firstly, is it possible to have caste based profession names?
Is it possible to have a caste have a gender but be unable to breed?
Is it possible to change ranges on weapons?
Is it possible to lock a weapon into a specific size for use? Not just a minimum, but a maximum size to use.
Is it possible to use mounts for forts at the moment? If so, how healthy does the rider have to be and is it possible to have attacks hit the mount exclusively?
Lastly, is it possible to set a group of possible names for a civilisation?

Firstly, is it possible to have caste based profession names?

Not to my knowledge, but it would be worth the five seconds of science.

Is it possible to have a caste have a gender but be unable to breed?

You can make a creature with no gender. But giving it a gender would allow it to reproduce with the opposite gender.

Is it possible to change ranges on weapons?

I assume you mean the firing range of bows. No.

Is it possible to lock a weapon into a specific size for use? Not just a minimum, but a maximum size to use.

No.

Is it possible to use mounts for forts at the moment? If so, how healthy does the rider have to be and is it possible to have attacks hit the mount exclusively?

No.

Lastly, is it possible to set a group of possible names for a civilisation?

You could set their spheres to increase the likelihood of certain words coming up. But otherwise no.

Look into ants and bees, they have some interesting things done with genders.

[CASTE_PROFESSION_NAME:] is one of the things you're looking for.  I use it extensively in my Hive mod.

Thank you Talanic!


Another question. Is it possible to mod the siege engines?
