#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.

Maybe also add in a new material (black of course) that can be produced from 'souls' which butchering sentients drops.

great idea Gamerlord ill see what can be done

[Gamerlord]

You could also use those as the base material for most of their gear. Maybe also use the platinum souls in Masterwork already.

and about armour can someone tell me what parts i need to increase to GENERALY increase how good it is at protecting the individual waring it.

There's not a whole lot you actually can do with armor.  You can decrease Coverage <100 to make it worse than normal.  Shaped determines whether it acts like a breastplate or like mail; you can only wear one shaped piece per body part at a time.  Increasing Armorlevel *might* help, but I think that might be a legacy thing from old game versions.  Check the wiki.  Layer, Layer size, and layer permit are related to how much armor you can wear at a time.  The formula is complicated and explained on the wiki.  You can also use a tag called "UBSTEP" which doesn't appear in the example you pasted here, to make torso armor cover also the upper arms, lower arms, and fingers (not hands).  Again, wiki.  Search "armor tokens".

Quick question to whomever can answer: Does building stuff in a Stonecutters Workshop supposed to level up skills at all?

I had my stonecrafter make 80 stone block beds recently, and didnt skill up at all.. bug or working as intended?

I believe it trains the stone crafting skill, did you perhaps tic the 'harder learning' box in the launch menu?

Fire1666 & Gamerlord: If you want to discuss suggestions and have questions about a custom race that doesnt exist yet, why not make a new thread? Playable Race: Shades for Masterwork - Planning stage. Then you can invite all kinds of people to have a look and chime in ideas. Even I do that when I want fresh ideas, thats why there is the "suggestions for masterwork" thread flying around now and then. Because this thread gets so many messages, in a few hours no one will know you talked about it ^^

Skill for Stone beds is indeed:SKILL:STONECRAFT, and does work. Harder learning just gives a -50% skill learn rate, that shouldnt stop him from learning. Did you "Read out dwarves" again with the therapist, to update it?

EDIT: I spend some thought on the nobles. While bookkeeper, managar, chief medical dwarf and psychiatrist are not that important, I think I found a really nice system for the military. I simply use military ranks. A new workshop called "Legion Garrison" or something, and you can transform dwarves in there. To Legionnaire, Legionnaire Sergeant or Legionnaire Drill Instructor.

Legionnaires are the normal fighters we have atm, but weaker, since you can control their numbers now.
Legionnaire Sergeants are the only dwarves that can become militia captians/military commanders. I would rename these nobles slightly.
Legionnaire Drill Instructors are the only dwarves that can become a new noble, drill instructor. They get a skill in teaching and can lead squads up to 2 units.
I will make a new noble, militia captian. These would be low grade military commands and can lead up to 4 units.
Sheriffs can only have 2 units, Captian of the Guard only 4 units.

I have never tried that unit restriction before, so wish me luck that it works. In the end you should have a small group of sheriff/guardsmen in your fort, plus a very small early militia against wildlife and such. But do make a real army, you have to build a Garrison, promote people to rank and hire instructors.

Really, wow. Having done nothing for a month and then sitting down to discover projectileExpansion, truetransform, the localisation patch, this battlecry trick, now the noble-trick, possible only with autosyndrome/truetransform, and autofixhandedness and that special tag for inorganics I completely forgot about, and and and... I have to say this is really fun again. Plain, unadulterated fun with new toys... thats so much better then writing manuals and bugfixing


EDIT: Ok, GUI is updated. Three things:
1. Invader Mat Boost. ON/OFF. Gives invaders better materials. Tested, works.
2. Invader Lvl Boost. ON/OFF. Gives invaders +5 combat skills. Tested, works.
3. FIXED THE GOD DAMN GRAZING BUTTON. Major victory for me. Its a tiny thing, but I finally figured out what it was.

[Werdna]

Nice, I can't wait to try those new invader settings, that will be nice for fine-tuning the challenge!

i don't even know how anyone can play with 100+ demands, (to me) it would be infuriating.  Getting the noble lords that come with the king and bring ~10 or 20 demands is already a leading cause of fortress death for me.

Man, I hear you.  When the King arrives P pause and the first two things I'm doing is preparing a room for him, and a magma shower room for 3/4 of the nobles he brings.  I don't mind playing the 'demands' game, but only up to a point!

If its a "Harder Happiness" option, that sounds fine, personally I like to focus on military challenges so I'd probably have it off.  I think I'd enjoy 'harder happiness' if I were doing a more building-oriented challenge.

One concern - military dwarves are already a bit difficult to keep happy, thanks to the 'long duty' bug and their frequent exposure to the deaths of comrades.  Would they have the same "room" requirements? 

[fire1666]

hey guys guess wut?
WEAPONS FINISHED I think!
here below is the code for said weapons, tell me what you think?

It looks good, but maybe use a different naming scheme? I mean, would you prefer a 'shadowy javelin kit' or a:
-blacksteel javelin kit
-soulsteel javelin kit
-soulstone javelin kit
-darkstone javelin kit

Actually, why don't we use the warpstone as reagents for the more powerful magic?

"tier" not teir

I am a little surprised that you don't increase the SHOOT_FORCE and MAX VEL of the high end bows... they still have the same performance in those stats as an ordinary dwarvish bow, and therefore much poorer than other high end weapons in Masterwork.

You could also think about decreasing the edge size of the high end arrows if you want them to penetrate more.

You call some of the strikes "dull edge" ... "dull heavy blade" but they nevertheless have the lesser contact area and improved penetration depth relative to the lower tier axes, those are not properties I would have associated with the word "dull".

...

it looks like the general scheme was that lower tier weapons are copies of masterwork weapons, and higher tier weapons have the improved stats (mostly penetration depth?).  That seems fine. 

Personally my preference is to not make new weapons for the stuff that's essentially the same, to keep minimized the item clutter, which of course gets to be big anyway   But that's just a matter of personal taste.

i said dont hit me D:
well ill focus on upgrading the bows tomorrow increasing the shoot force and max vel.
dull as in dark no blunt but i can see where your coming from
also these names are only tempory if they need to be changed then thats fine with me too and with the melee weapons, the second stat is depth, the first is area on surface?
also heads remember guys this is technicly the first mod i have EVER made

[smakemupagus]

i'm not hitting you, lol
i mean, you asked for feedback, it wouldn't be that helpful if I just listed a bunch of things that that seemed fine and unremarkable

>> dull as in dark
aha! that makes sense. 

>> with the melee weapons, the second stat is depth, the first is area on surface?
that's right, and the last one is velocity multiplier.  Normally it's like ~1000 for a stab, 1500 or so for a swing, ~2000-2500 range for a hafted weapon, and then you if you can go higher for special/magical attacks.  worth reading and understanding:
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Weapon_token

>>  shoot force and max vel.
For comparison you can look at

weakest
...
regular (dwarf) bow; crossbow
recurve bow
composite bow; pistols
great bow; muskets
mechanized crossbow; cannons
...
best

fair point, i might change that

I need some help. I downloaded and extracted, but can't find anything that launches the game . The vanilla program won't do it at least, because when I try running it, it complains about zlib1.dll missing or something. Do I just need to aquire it somewhere, or is something else possibly wrong?
