This is cool.

Sorry for the impressions that I might continue my own implementation, as I did not. Haven't found the patience, interest or time, as competitive devotion to Natural Selection 2 and some other hobbies have taken my time.

I'll definitely try this out after I've exhausted my interest in Diablo 3 for a while! Keep it going.

Yeah I had ammo assigned. Plenty of it.

I feel like it might just be some newb mistake because I'm new to the military system, but I just can't get them to train there. I've done it according to df magmawiki.

I think there was some hitch there with the armorsmithing. It didn't work at first, but then it started working.
Should probably add shields to the list of their equipment they can craft. They already pick up shields from dead enemies and use those, but just can't metalsmith them.
Also cloaks should probably be added so they get a bit more protection.

I tried to make a danger room out of wooden sergal training lances, ten per tile... two out of ten sergals died immediately to the lances when I flipped the lever. They don't have enough clothing to survive those I think. Or the lances are just too deadly.

Seems like sergals don't pop up at all on the neighbours list.

And no wonder I always appeared into the game as something strange because Forgotten Beasts were at the top all the time, except for the first civ which seems to be dwarves. Maybe the sergals die out on world gen all the time. Even though the world history export file says otherwise.

And as for your second question, I don't follow.

Nvm I'm dumb. Embarking as sergals works now. Didn't read the installation instructions carefully enough.

Good to see you skie. The version I had was more or less just a personal edit. But seeing people taking interest again sparked me to upload it.

If you do wish to continue it, I think I've gotten most of the north and south sprites done for you.

That's a pretty fun take on the sprites that you've got. I went with a smaller head and that was causing some problems with distinction of the different jobs.

I still don't really have the time to continue on this, so I modified the first post in the thread to link to your working sergals. Nice work on that.


PS. This seems to conflict with defense mod somehow, I THINK. Every time I embark, I spawn as wild animals with no skills. Such as stegosaurs or stags. Races which are created by the defense mod. It's impossible to say from the civilization list which are those and which are sergals when embarking.
Sometimes adventure mode also crashes immediately when trying to start with a sergal, as does DF mode when embarking as _possibly_ sergals.

Hmm, well this is a strange turn of events. I have to admit I haven't been working on the mod too actively, but /I have/ been working on it. On and off.
You have fine ideas there, Drakis, but I don't think I like the choice of using 1d4chan fluff. I'm basing the project on http://goldring.wikia.com/wiki/Vilous_Wiki's material myself.

Here are some things that I feel like are contradicting:
Sergals probably wouldn't use mauls because they're too wiry to handle those properly.
I was also thinking of making them using throwing spears instead of crossbows.
The different sergal races don't live in harmony. Southern and Northern sergals are at war and would kill eachother on sight, so I was going to make them separate civs, not just castes. And maybe just add the feral sergals as monsters on the mountains or such. However I don't know yet how to make one race that's quite similar to another one to be always at-war in DF.
As far as I know sergals use platemail or just leather, exlusively. Not chain or scalemail.
No comment on the government structure et cetera, I don't know how their system works. I'll need to read about that.

I'm going to keep making my own thing, but thanks for your ideas and work. It will inspire me, I'm guessing.

Sneak preview on WIP sprites. I'm still trying out what looks good. The workers look like a bit like they're in pyjamas right now.

Caverns bewilder me. I think they're very cool, but in DF mode I don't know what to do with them. They are full of monsies and I think they just drop my FPS and are quite annoying because of that. Always have to wall them shut.

Dear god the last couple of posts. I can't remember a time in my life when I laughed as much.
