Mixed Races Fortress?
« on: January 17, 2012, 09:50:54 am »

I'm currently planning on making a multi-cultural Fortress with Dwarves (duh) as well as Humans, Elves, Goblins and other races.
Due to this i checked out several different utilities like Runesmith and DFusion and I can give myself the needed races - they can do jobs, they work like every normal dwarf would.

There is only one problem - I'm unable to give them any special job like Manager, Militia Commander/Captain and so on. Is there a way to change that? I already checked on the raws for clues, added and changed some stuff, but it still didn't worked out.

Also, im sorry if this is the wrong forum and/or if this question is already answered somewhere. I searched a bit, but i couldn't find anything. So, thanks in advance for every kind of help, hint or solution you can bring up  :)

I'm getting a big United Nations vibe here.

True, but this results in a goblin/dwarf couple making an ELF. A STINKING ELF.

Use dfusion on the map screen on embark to get them to use noble positions.

Thanks for the quick help  :D
Everything worked fine, and I can have my fortress~

Also, i do believe that Dwarves would have a harder time living with Goblins :P Elves aren't so bad if you know them, lol

Goblin and elven ghetto, to be precise. There both immortal, you see, so its funnier.

Also, there is always the chance to have fun with castes.

I wonder what happens when you add [CREATURE:TIGERMAN] next to [CREATURE:DWARF] in the entity file. BRB, generating potentially epic world.

The game will randomly choose one of the races defined in the entity files, assuming you put the TIGERMAN on the same entity as the dwarves (ENTITY:MOUNTAIN).

So, you can't have a civ with both dwarves and tigermen in them, unless you use the caste method, which has problems with breeding (interspecies romance, etc.).

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

It worked better than I expected. My parent civilization was apparently Tigermen. They perform skills they learned how to do in the embark screen but do not accept new jobs (as in, I can't cut wood ever because nobody had points in woodcutting on embark), even with third-party tools. Waiting to see if the migrants are also all Tigermen.

They will be.

Wait...did someone say get to know the elves better?

Burn him. I want to see the ashes fed to the dogs, and those dogs killed and fed to the nightwings raw, and them killed and fed to the kittens, and those killed and fed to the clowns. We must not let his elf-loving ideas spread. We will all die if they do!
