#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.

Did you press the button in the GUI for Kobolds before you genned a world ?

[smakemupagus]

There are people having 2 different kind of problems,

(#1) You must generate the world with the same Entity (Dwarf, Orc, or Kobold) chosen that you intend to play with.

(#2) The tool tip which says "Activate only one," (of Orcs or Kobold), meaning not only what state it is in when you finally press Play, but also if you ever go through the state "YES YES" while playing around with the GUI it will stay screwed up even if you turn one back off*.  -- If you go all the way back to the state "NO NO" it will reset and work as intended. 

*(well, 50% chance depending what order you did it in)

to reproduce this behavior
Start from state NO NO
Click Orc YES
Click Kobold YES (hidden side effect of turning orcs off)
Click Kobold NO
Final GUI state is YES NO
but final entity state is NO NO

First, I had just gotten it with all vanilla settings, and I only pressed kobold to YES, and genned a world, so I'm not sure.

Second, in Orc fortress- how do you get Rusty Iron to forge stuff at the factory? I'm clueless.

[smakemupagus]

Rusty iron is more of a by-product than anything else, although Orc Freelancers do use it for currency (think "teef", or "bottle caps")

You normally get it as a side product of smelting batches or destroying scrap armor at the Orcish Molten Pit.  You can also buy bars cheap from goblin traders, or (probably not recommended) sell stuff to the Freelancers Guild and melt down the coins.

I'm surprised how easy it is for me to outfit a bunch of orcs or dwarves in full iron gear.

Hey dudes, I made a little mini-mod to change the Kobold Camp graphics back to what they were in the original non-MW version. Not only that, I've also added in quite a few more sprites. Practically all credit goes to Lairian who originally made these, I only tweaked and extrapolated from his sheet to make this.

Simply plop both files into the Masterwork>Dwarf Fortress>Raw>Graphics folder, overwriting the ones already in there. Do this before making a new region, as regions make their own copy of the raws. If you want them in an old region then put them in the region's respective rawset.

@Gamerlord, do you think it was a balance issue in the mod that makes it too easy to gear (like embark with cheap bituminous coal)?  or, vanilla.  Do you play with Harder Smithing?

[Gamerlord]

I play with harder smithing and it isn't really a balance issue; it's just that I got an embark with a metric f*ck-ton of limonite, lignite, bituminous coal and limestone. 

[smakemupagus]

awesome, gotta love those

[Gamerlord]

Hell yeah. Add the fact that I'm playing that embark with Orcs and I'm less than an in-game year away from killing anything and everything that so much as looks at my fort funny.

My suggestion would be to make all civilisations playable for a single game. This will be especially important come DF2013, because then players can retire a fortress from one civilisation and start a new settlement with a completely different game running. Hopefully this won't screw anything up too badly.

[Deon]

Do you mean DF2014?

[Vherid]

My tileset has been updated, I think you'll be happier with the selection and all the 2x upscaled variants.

[Meph]

@vherid: thanks for the heads up.

@CaptainArchmage: If you want to balance them, sure. Because the orc invaders are not smakes tribal orcs, and you'd attacked by mithril tribal wargear and dreamwalkers, instead of orcs with rusty steel. I'm no Dustin Browder, to balance 3 races perfectly against each other ^^

@Tark: These look good, but they arent the original bolds (?) At least to my eyes. Look at the picture, the "normal" phoebus bolts are to the right.

[ElenaRoan]

*chuckle* I'd come to the thread to ask where the creature research workshop had gone to and found the game had been updated twice *lol* now that I have the new version lets see what trouble I can get into
