#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

yessssssssss...!! downloading 

[Neyvn]

Well thats annoying... Certain letters are showing up as Symbols...
l and n by the looks of things...

[ItchyBeard]

Hmm, my download didn't contain any of the sound files. Is that intended, or did I click on the wrong link or something?

I copied the sound files from a previous version of DF so I have sound now anyway. I actually like the default music .

Edit: My desert map generated with this:

Civilized World Population
   119702 Warlocks
   30609 Undead
   198 Orcs
   24405 Frost giant
   29310 Drows
   67109 Dwarves
   17973 Humans
   3773 Elves
   10518 Goblins
   396 Kobolds

   Total: 303993

Guessing I won't be getting a lot of kobolds or orcs.

Hello there Meph.  I've been interested with your mod, but a complete lack of free time has prevented me from playing df lately.   I've got a few suggestions for the magic stuff if your still working on it conceptually.   Good/Evil magic doesn't seem different from holy/unholy religious type magic.  Good magic would fit better with humans than dwarves, since all dwarves are Slaves To Amtrack, God Of Blood.  Unholy would be a better fit to evil races like the drow.  Here are some basic ideas:

Dwarves
         Fireborn:  firemage, fire immune, speed buff, fire or explosion on death
         Hammerhands:  earthmage focused on strike attacks and personal protection by stone skin, skill buffs to mining and smithing
         Shaman:  healer, potions

Elves 
         Bard:  buffer for nearby friendly units
         Warlock:  curses, shapeshifter, debuffer 

Humans
          Charlatan:  holy magic
          Apothecary:  healer, potions
          Wizard:  firemage
 
Orks
           Witch Doctor:  healer, potions, curses   

Drow
           Warlock:  curses, debuffer, shapeshifter
           Nightshade:  stealth, poison touch/skin/miasma
            Incarnate:  evil/unholy/demonic

edit:  I see you released a new version while I was writing.  It looks quite interesting!

Tried the mod for the first time. Really impressive, but there are some things that are.. well.... yea..

"Stray Fire Landmine (Tame)"
"Stray Acid Turret (Tame)"
Shouldn't they be buildings/traps instead fo cattle or something?

Also, is it possible to deactivate Genies?

[Neyvn]

The turrets as buildings idea wouldn't work as they wouldn't shoot......


Wait, Idea, couldn't they be built at a siege workshop and work like Balista???


Also Gender of animals isn't showing right again, its appearing as *

they have to be implemented as creatures, because there's no other way to do it. to make em be more turret/landmine-like, just stick em in a 1x1 pasture. done!

ok but.. isn't a landmine technically nothing more than a stone-fall trap?
And, as neyvn says, a turret something like a self-controlled ballista?

[Seraphyx]

I mentioned this earlier but but olivine is completely useless (which is just annoying). You can't build out of it or make crafts or do anything except grind it into rock dust. Can it possibly be changed to at least build stuff out of it or create stone things like doors, floodgates, etc...

[Neyvn]

Oh dear.......

One of my new migrants is talking to himself and laughing like a crazed dwarf. I think I am in trouble with him...

i think of them more as semi-magical dwarven constructs then simple traps or machines - i mean, there are ice, fire, acid, and many other kinds of mines, and there are at least six kinds of turrets, including bullet and fire... so they've got some complicated tricky stuff going on inside em, and probably clockwork legs etc so they can scuttle around. that's how i think of them anyway! =D

Just go to the z-Stone menu and select Olivine as a non-reserved stone (or whatever it's called, press Enter when it's highlighted) and your dwarves will use it for everything. At least I did it yesterday but that was before the newest release unless something has changed. Worked fine for my magma floodgates and mechanisms yesterday.

This works for any stones if you want to start making stuff out of raw galena etc.

Awesome work.. but i think i stumbled upon a bug in Version 1.5 (for Dwarf Fortress 34.04)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Immediately after embarking i got the the report : The Surgeon looks hungrily at other dwarves!.. Six month later he turned into a zombie as expected..
After a "fun" chase my hunter and his animal companions reached him.. then the game crashed, i reloaded and tried it again but the game crashed again.
After checking the game log i found "Stray hunting Hawk (Tame) has transformed into a dwarven zombie!" as the last entry every time.

Also i cant get my hunter to hunt since he embarked with a Javelin thrower wich he doesnt want to switch for the nice wodden crossbow i made for him..

Thanks for that. Got them to use it now.

Another thing I found, I'm pretty sure this is an error but trying to make oil at the screw press from pigtails, it's not working. I made a few barrels of oil and the reaction is still unavailable. When I hit enter to see what I need it says I also need lye stuff to make it:
Lye
Lye-containing item
unrotten soap_mat-producing liquid
oil-containing item

If this isn't an error then my question is what's the point of making soap out of oil when it needs the lye anyways?

Last thing is that whenever tanning an item the shop instantly gets extremely cluttered which is weird. It's the purple *CLT* with the gem graphic/asterisk looking thing on the sides of it. There's only 1 item in the shop so I don't really understand why it does that. I don't THINK it used to do that, I was able to tan pretty damn fast but now it takes extremely long.
