Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

I like your ideas. If only there was a way to make battlefield medics that recovered wounded while the fighting was going on. I feel like that would be a better role for the Disciples of Vanya.

I felt it better to have them as a sort of knight that uses knives since knife users get almost no love and since Vanya preferred to fight using daggers when she absolutely had to.

To make it balanced-ish, if the above is possible, give The Disciples of Vanya a penalty on Mining since Vanya was terrified of tight spaces.

As dwelves, Disciples of Vanya already have a 50% deficit to masonry, mining, and stonecrafting. That said, they do learn woodworking, crafting, and animal training at the base rate, all jobs that are usually performed outdoors or in large holding pens.

Are the raws modded to allow dwarves to make daggers? Because they normally can't.

They would of course be granted that ability, but it may be something different from the generic large daggers.

Didn't Talvi's list say something about Vampiric Silver Daggers?

, like highborn dwarves (who I devised as way for us to be allowed to arrange unfortunate accidents without complete upward stagnation, though at the cost of decent soldier. )

This seems to say you know a way to put political tags in creature RAWs. Can you explain that?
Otherwise I like those positions, assuming everyone is okay with the added difficulty objectives.
I think I want to see this with the CMD and Physicians, though. Just for Flavor.

Oh, if you were surprised by a new name, I read through the whole thread over the last few months. I love this fort(which got me back into DF after a long hiatus) and have been playing against Mr Frog's Holistic Spawn in my current fort. My Fischer has 18 kills, 8 of which are Spawn. She is 154 Spear(no pikes sorry) and 215 Fighter.

Hopefully, I'll be contributing to SB 2(odd for me but I did say hopefully)

Vampiric Silver is a steel-grade alloy originally pioneered by the vampires of West Everoc, since they didn't have access to the huge amounts of iron that humans, dwarves, and goblins had. It is more useful as trade good metal because of it's value but in the absence of iron bearing ores, silver can be used to form solid weapons (but not armor, if memory serves.)

Use of a highborn dwarf caste restricted position and the need for a high noble (baron or better) to appoint them facilitates the lesser nobility, plus they have the mandate and are exempt from punishment. However, privileges to better rooms and not being on the receiving end of the hammer comes at a price, and that price is being expected to take to the field against the kingdom's enemies.

So our nobility is essentially just fabulous military? Cool.

And welcome to the necro'd madhouse, Starweaver!

I think it's fitting. After all, nobody wants to be seen as a coward since the puffed up fool in charge of some highly active backwater showed he had the balls to beat spawn to death with what was essentially a lump of rock on a stick.

highborn dwarf caste restricted position

Woah. I was looking at it backwards. Positions don't go in creature, caste goes in position. That should be helpful when I revive my ash demon civ.

And welcome to the necro'd madhouse, Starweaver!

Thanks, I hope it only gets madder! (Necros optional)

Would it be possible to have the displaced megacorp employees still get their changes but not have any new description, so they blend in with regular players unless you're paying attention? I don't think they would be very well served by advertising their ties to a group like Parasol or Ballpoint.

[Splint]

Parasol was on the locals' side so it really wouldn't matter for them. I was more thinking that they'd be wearing something story-wise that denotes they aren't a native dwarf but not which company they belonged to.

[TalonisWolf]

So they're going to have a similar mechanic to vampires in that they can integrate and hide within Dwarven Society?

[Splint]

Unless there's some sort of tag that dictates it besides bloodsucker then no. Simply something in their description will be what denotes them. Something to the manner of "This dwarf appears to have a working PEA and actually knows how to use it." or something like that.

[TalonisWolf]

Actually...

(Turns thoughtful)

In Masterwork they have the master of the carp cult thingy, the random tentacle demon thing, necromancers sneaking in as civilians, etc. So it is possible without using the bloodsucker tag in the normal fashion...

[Reudh]

The most subtle way is having them make an interaction that does nothing, which would show up in the combat log periodically.

I don't know the specifics of that though. The raws appear rather... unorganized for some files.

That's how Masterwork does things for things besides the cult of the carp god.
