Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm making a mod with ant people emphasizing elite males and females. I'm checking legends after tweaking reproductive systems to ensure the population is thriving. I think this is the best one I've seen.

Jol was one of the first of his kind and did not die by the time the legends finished being written in 550. He has been a part of 4 different ant hives and abandoned them all, even once serving as a general for a single year. Every civilization in the entire game hates him.




He's killed 5 notable people, including other ants. Killing other ants in the sentient ant entity is an unthinkable crime. I didn't know that could even happen.
You'll notice he has a lair. I guess that's because every civilization hates him.



His non-notable kill count tops 250. But uh..



Yeah, 250 animals. I checked. Every single one was an animal.



All Jol Saorgilt, the Splattered Soldier, did was kill and eat random farm animals. I went back and checked to see what had happened with the one female elite he killed, and there isn't much to it -- except that he ate her, and then ate a cavy sow on the way out.



You're a fuckhead, Jol.

Is there any mod that expands upon civilizations? I haven't played DF in years and I think that dealing with cave monsters exclusively is incredibly boring. I miss regular goblin sieges. One in particular added Orc sieges and I can't really find any mods that add back in Orcs.

Hi,

Is there a way to indicate to the game that at least n of specific castes should be provided with every expedition?

Example: At least 1 female, 1 male dwarf.

Cheers.

So I decided to follow around some Elk that spawned naturally on the surface amidst the muck.

They followed the normal pattern but I managed to catch a glimpse of one mid-death. This elk is "Shaken to its core!", which I assume is a fear token. It has sustained bruises on every imaginable part of its body. Its status screen lists yellow for most parts, and light blue for one of its eyes. It's also blinking "X" for Winded, which I assume means it's losing respiratory function.

As I toggle between pauses to check its status, it's not sustaining damage on any more parts, but it is gaining more yellow. Its left eye, for instance, is now also yellow instead of light blue. After it dies, it's coated in stinking muck and pus.


The rest of the herd collapsed all at once. They all have similar injuries. One sustained spinal injuries. Another had kidney injuries. They all begin to get pus as coatings before they die. They die at different times, usually very quickly after they begin to become winded. The only parts of the body that don't become injured are their hoofs, which is probably because of the material. I also have Giant Beetles because of my mod, and I believe they are the only things to experience contact with the muck and survive. I'm pretty sure that's thanks to their exoskeleton.

So, conclusion: The skies above my fort bleed ooze that melts flesh.

Edit: 100% causalities first migration wave.  There is no salvation from this red death.

How do I use Tiletypes to remove any floor and make it Open Space? I'm trying to clear tiles under bridges. I swear to god yo used to be able to channel under a closed bridge, but no more.

Is this a recent AI change?

I'm trying to get my dwarves to pick up their crossbows and quivers and get into position and the dipshits will immediately engage the first thing they see without collecting any arrows, meaning they are up against fully armored and geared targets in leather with a wooden crossbow bludgeon and nothing else.

How the fuck do I tell Dwarves to flee if they are not equipped? Why are they not equipped with a fully stocked quiver at all times when I tell them to be in uniform 24/7?

Wow, and then my dwarves auto-butchered the dead dogs and now their skin is coming back, too. Fuck this shit.
