Details
Regeneration aims to add new creatures, civs, items, buildings, reactions, and castes. With a interaction based magic system, bringing more advanced creatures and combat. From special castes that are based on Melee, Range, and Magic. Combined with new combat moves that can change the tide of a battle, for the good or bad. Profession specific workshops that work together to keep all your people busy to feed a growing industry. Expect tools to break and have to be remade too keep things running, Else expect to be left with the basic vanilla production.
You will encounter things such as:
Harder Elves (respect the hippys)
Trogs and Gremlins (caverns)
Outcast Elves (elven exiles)
Zombies (Invaders and Evil roamers)
Skeletons (End Game Baddies)
Kobolds
Goblins
Two new positions the 'Overseer' and 'Emotional Advisor'. Overseers can be replaced at anytime by you (for succession fortresses), same with Emotional Advisors. Overseers act as a placeholder for the imagination and show up as a bright
cyan same color as elite swordsmen. There are two emotional advisors, they can talk with workers and calm them down reducing tantrum spirals. They also require a bedroom, office, dining room, 1 cabinet, and 1 box/coffer. Not only that but they can make 1 demand a year.
Milita Commanders and Captains are no longer have the "milita" in their name and the old Lt. and Captain nobles have been removed. Commanders and Captains now control squads of 20 and require their own comforts. The General can now command 50 soldiers. Dwarves their broker doubles as the bookkeeper aswell now. And the Humans manager handles all Book work and trading.
This mod is still in the making, there are so many things to come that I can't even dare to fit them in the future plans list. But some of the main planned features are in there, and some of them you may never even know. Think of those as... Easter Eggs, gotta find-em to see if its good or bad.
Also bugs will be a given, from anything to a miss spelled reaction, building, item, creature to annoying reaction bugs or buildings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
New creatures from a advanced undead system where breaking the skull
or brain finish off the horde, or stabbing the heart in some cases.
Expanding Civs above and below ground, from gremlins and trogs to civs that have been forgotten.
Skills no longer rust and decay (may change back to vanilla once buildings are done)
Magic, Religion, and Science (Tech) are just a few more ways you can defeat or be defeated by your foes.
Special buildings and reactions that help you get what you need, even when its not on your map.
Random Encounters, so don't think goblins or undead are what you have to worry about.
Zombies and Skeletons are now civs that are relentless, also evil embarks just got harder.
Beware the Horde!
Special castes that go from normal, melee, range, siege, and spell casters.
******************************************************************************
Normal - These are your standard run of the mill dwarf, nothing special
War - These dwarves heal faster, are naturally good at fighting, have no emotion or need of sleep.
But get enraged at any hostile, can only eat meat , and see only half as far.
Hunt - These dwarves are naturally good at ambushing, archery, observing and tracking.
They are good at dodging and have minor combat skills. Also they have built in combat styles
Priest - These dwarves can use magic, magic is good at defeating undead.
They are more apt to use Temples, as they learn magic and concentration faster, also they are naturals at it.
Siege - These are not dwarves but they were built by them, Obsidian Golems they are stuck with
preset combat skills. They can do other jobs, but they cannot learn.
******************************************************************************
Features (Fortress Mode)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Resource Buildings:
******************************************************************************
Temple of Regeneration
The temple let's you make focus crystals from certain gems, and better focus crystals from special gems.
With focus crystals you can take any ore (metal containing rock) and make a Orb of Regeneration of that ore.
From there you can use the orb on its own to slowly regen ore, or use focus crystals to speed the process.
At max 8 focus crystals help the orb regen ore instantly, 16 focus crystals for two orbs.
The better focus crystals farther increase the chances a orb will regen ore, and if 8 are used a
chance to produce a extra ore is possible.
Mine Shaft
The mine shaft allows for digging operations, it requires a lantern, candles, and a miner (min) to perform
a digging operation. Digging for Flux, Coal, and gems are possible. But adding in more handy mining tools
will help with the chance of acquiring hard to get materials.
Quarry
The quarry allows your miners to dig for any worthless stone, with stones that you can make plaster powder with
those you can dig for as well. The Quarry also allows you to destroy excess rocks as well. It also features a
destroy all rock items feature, too de-clutter furniture stockpiles or useless rock crafts.
