Southerns may wear lighter stuff than northerns but they still wear things such as metal plate armor and so on.

checking out their items in the entity file they can still use warplate and such, but have a bit less options than the northerns about their armor and weapon capabilities. I also gave them much more range weapon choices.

-cloudberrys can be brewed and replanted
-frost root can be brewed and cooked but not replanted

-removed [BIOME:FOREST_TAIGA] from nevreans

-added [BIOME:ANY_TEMPERATE] southern sergals

I noticed all the races die of old age before any become necromancers much of the time X3

But loads of vampires on this one small island southern sergal civ X3

[darklord92]

I guess it can be a bit expected, in vanilla df there are very few civ races that have a short life expectancy, dwarfs live from 150 to 170 years. Elves and goblins are immortal, and humans can last from 60 to 120.  Looking at the mod's raws most creatures from it live from 90 to 120 years at max if they aren't killed off before or some such, so they last a little bit longer than humans.

Its a bit funny because i was originally going to go entirely off the official maximum age for sergals at 60 or so, however most of the forts consisted of 16 to 20 year olds. certainly interesting if i ever poke around the ages again, they seem fairly basic as they are right now.

[Zavvnao]

I see. I will stop this spam, but at least say there might of been a few southern sergal necro guys in one world at least form being among the oldest living of them :3

[darklord92]

nah that was far from spam, Its interesting to see a necromancer sergal though, i don't normally get those in testing, except the one time I used the world with 40 or so necromancer towers XD

[Zavvnao]

how did you get 40 towers? Imagine if you remove the sterile tag from them

and maybe it will happen if I let there be humans or other longer living races at least.

[Zavvnao]

what is stronger though, plastic or bronze?

[darklord92]

what is stronger though, plastic or bronze?

after some arena testing with various weapons vs the same of the brass, i can say at least for now that brass is stronger than plastic as 7/10 ,on average, brass clad dwarfs survived against 10 plastic clad dwarfs.

[Zavvnao]

thank you.

[darklord92]

Alright... i need a bit of an honest response on this. are the male nevrean flyers too annoying to have in fortress mode? Constantly catching themselves in areas they refuse to escape from and dieing. I've wanted to have them fly but the pathing seems too chaotic to use functionally besides in adventure mode. If i remove the flyer tag i guess i can increase their dodge or agility skills so that they are more "graceful" and can dodge easier by "flying" without actually flying.


just post a quick response, I'll give it a day or so before i make the change if it comes to that. I'd rather it be playable than confined tightly to something that causes frustrations.

[Zavvnao]

hm. I have not noticed neverean flyer trouble. I just usually play in adventure mode as a southern sergal or zess outsider.

[darklord92]

This isn't an update, but here is what to expect when he next DF update rolls around and I release 4.0 for the mod!

Spoiler: progress for next version! (click to show/hide)

4.0
-defined all raw entries with a DL92*_ prefix, the mod should now be 99% compatible with any other mod, including skie's and chronojiuj's sergal mod
-remove [flyer] tag from male_flyer nevreans, and compensated by giving them [NATURAL_SKILL:DODGING:4]
-added some variety to the maximum age of the mods creatures, it's mostly based on life styles,
   as well as the hygiene expected in their culture, and finally the frailty in old age.

   -agunders live from 130 to 190
      (being of near dwarven toughness and some may even say rivalling that of dwarves
      themselves at mountain life.)

   -Nevreans live from 80 to 95 years
      (while being one of the more intelligent races their life styles benefit quite well,
      however they are still quite frail through their whole lives)

   -northern sergals live from 40 to 80 years
      (not expected to live long, but hardy enough to do so if they are lucky)

   -southern sergals live from 60 to 75 years
      (while longer lived than northern sergals they are more frail in their old age, and don't live as
      long as a northern could)

   -feral talyxias live from 80 to 130 years
      (being bio-mechanical creatures)

   -talyxians live from 100 to 120
      (their culture revolves around natural foods and routines as such their lives are often easier )
