Also, who among us is actually going to devote their shot at playing to one of these undwarfy races? They'd be missing out on the rich dwarven history/insanity.

Ooooh! Ooooh! ME! ME!
i cant wait to make some goblin crap to look all crappy and scary and whatnot.
I kinda like that they dont eat, as it turns out. this way, i dont have to worry about farms and food and drink and crap and can just focus on building something creepy and crappy.

that's the goblin way.

Now IF we were trying to make a version of DF like Goblin Warren or whatever, yeah, we'd need to mod the goblins ALOT more, but i kinda think they're ok as is for the purposes of this thingee. I don't even mind the cheap trolls and the no caravans. Screw it. I'm just trying to make something fun for the adventurer to go through, y'know?

Can I get in?

By the way PointDexterity, if you were to edit the first post to show the rules, turn list, and a revised description, it would be great. I read this whole thread; I doubt many really want to do that.

[Eric Blank]

^ That's an excellent point.

Reinforce that this is not the final community game thread though, and that it hasn't started yet.

will do, good idea. and its just poindexterity, not poinTdexterity.

list of rules added to original post.

For maximum Fun I suggest you mod it so that the various megabeasts will be full sized quickly. In most worlds people never face full sized dragons and I think this would be a shame.

If we're genning a long history, to make sure we have large pools of history and people, I don't see that as necessary.

I think this was mentioned far back in the thread. Myabe someone should make an additional list of what changes we do to the vanilla game? We all agreeed on no free reactions (exception for the elven tree, but maybe that will have some restriction too), making all races playable and at least something to differentiate the other races and/or compensate for lack of feature like hunger (but keeping the changes to a minimum).

[Poindexterity]

i say, ANY change that does not directly enhance the ADVENTURER experience should be nixed. Elves being given free wood just makes it all that easier for them to build something fun for the adventurer, so that's in. goblins needing food wont change the way their fort looks in the least and will not make any difference for an adventurer exploring their area, so i think we should leave that alone.

thoughts?

I agree entirely. The non-dwarf races should only undergo the bare minimum of modification required to make them playable and able to produce a site for the adventurer to explore.

[Poindexterity]

ok, i found a potential issue with goblins as a playable race.
not sure if this even matters, but i figured id put it out there.
1- load up map
2- embark as goblins
3- play fort
4- abandon fort.
5- try to start a new goblin fort somewhere else.
6- only able to embark as dwarves.
7- delete region
8- reload region and map
9- embark as goblins

[Poindexterity]

scratch that. even after a reload, i cant embark as anything but dwarves.

[Poindexterity]

ok, fixed it.
it has something to do with the tileset.
if i dont use one, it works, if i do. no goblins

Sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind making a fort in this world.  I'd probably go just with regular old dwarves, preferably at a non-evil site that has a good mix of cliffs and flat areas.  A river or stream would be good too, but don't really care about volcanoes.  I'd be more interested in creating an elaborate fort to explore rather than cranking out gear for adventurers.  OTOH, I'd probably not bother too much with traps at all, since the fort is meant to be explored.

What do you guys think about choosing a particular civilization to play for each race?

[Eric Blank]

If by that, you mean choosing one particular civilization of each race that we will use, then it's an excellent idea, but we couldn't really expect to mandate it and be able to enforce it.
You'd been added to the list, by the way. Pray for dropouts or you'll never see it happen!

And Poindexterity, what tileset/graphics set are you using? I want to see a link to the download to see what could possibly be going on.

Oh, and I'm going to postpone any further modding until I see the full changelog for the next version. Wasted time and energy, otherwise.
