The first reaction you posted, Learn Arcane Armor, has a tiny bug in it, there are two reagents named gold2, one should be renamed to gold3. You can do this in a running save by opening the data/save/raw/objects folder and fix it in there.

Yup that worked, got it fixed. Thanks alot . Will read a bit in the Raws in a little so I can finally figure out where the craft volcanic alloy reaction for the Dwarves went, I could swear there was one some time ago. I must say after all I prefere the Overlord not having access to spells since his stats are significantly stronger than those of any other Warlock. Guess I treat it as some kind of balancing for now ^^.


Update regarding the volcanic alloy: Checked the raws so I dont need to build the foundry ingame: Apparently you smelt the items from Obsidian, Mithril and Steel. Nvm what I said before, thought there was some way to get the bars directly. Makes sense now.

Got a rather simple question, is there a way to specify that my succubi "milk" tentacle monsters only? Because I really dont need cauchemar milk (or whatever milk I keep getting). I need that oil substitute

Unfortunately, I don't know if there is any way to limit was animal to milk, besides putting it on repeat or butchering the cauchemars.

Thats actually what I did before reading this:

Burrows. Put pet and workshop into the same burrow.

Yep, that works smoothly as I got a replacement for the slain cauchemars.

Thank you guys

I quite like what I have read so far albeit I would have to find a new race to play then, I am so... well... adapted to the options dwarfs have, and all the ways to kill off invaders, all those nice sardistic ways... Specially love their mages. And I grew to like warlocks alot aswell (mages and undeads, extremly cool to play with after you got into them), but really if it gets ported to the new version with potentially new races it could work out indeed very very well. Elves would be kinda interesting to see... those  treehugging little annoying bushlovers. Maybe giving other races a turn which were in older versions? Maybe adding something new like said Hivemind related races... or something not being from the world in dwarf fortress.

Like some race from another dimension entering them. Could go then in 2 directions with that race... either the classical eldritch beings race which involves some absurdly horrific humanoids just turning other species insane by their presence, sheer force and extreme otherworldly appearence (creators of those forgotten beasts), but very few in numbers and very... well... otherworldly ways to produce wares (e.g instead of using rare exotic gems for encrusting tools they use them to break them down, consume them and gain power somehow through them, addiction to warpstone... or if possible something like a hydra of one of those beasts, just with tentacles/limbs/arms. For each cut of limb 2 should replace them, only way to kill them is beheading them??) or the more gnomish way of just being technologically superior, but instead living in peace with nature they are kind of just there to take the ressources for themself and spread like a virus while having a propper size in combat (Pulse Gun armed outsiders in exoskeletons/powerarmor with tripod like organic mechs with pulse cannons vs dwarfs with autocrossbows and almost indestructable adamantine golems). Then again, similar to gnomes they do not get migrants besides the 2 first waves, and no trading and getting new migrants besides the usage of some sort of portal which they use to "trade" ressources for workpower... Theres alot of things you could do with completly new races.

Or take the elves, make them the ultimate hippy treehuggers and let them get some sort of tree workshop which extracts mithril and other metals directly from the ground, maybe even processed whenever one of their "Treesingers" stands to them and works there and basicly "summons" the stuff, kinda like dwarfs currently do with their Armok Shrines. Goblins could get a workshop with a reaction similar to Kobolds, but instead they send out Snatchers and come back with children, a new tool (dont blame me on calling kids tools) and those tools could be used for forced labor in certain workshops like a mass production for cheap weapons or to conjure 1 super powerfull demon from HFS to rule them. Kinda like building their dark spires you find quite often. Though that might be a bit too similar to orcs and their forced labor workers they get.

Humans are fine as they are, maybe adding some more depth, maybe adding the mage system from dwarfs to them if dwarfs get it ripped off, cause that magic system of the dwarfs is very very amazing.

Hivemind races like those ants could maybe not care at all for losses, but if their leader/overmind gets killed they all suffer and most of them will turn insane to a certain degree. So protect the overmind/queen/whatever. Or turn them in a collective race similar to Borg (but without a queen) and let them gain strength by getting bigger in numbers. If your people get cut down then... well your effective strength like fast learning, prediction of enemy movements (dodging in fights etc) gets lowered aswell. To
counterbalance that they might be very frail or dont get good armor or just again, growing in numbers could be a bit harder then for other races.

And somewhere there was mentioned that the new version has some sort of "Angel" or "Guardian" beings. Not sure what to do with those though. Might be fun to see the opposite of HFS/Seductive Succubus aswell.

Also... limb replacements... nothing high tech like you would expect from gnomes. But a dwarven cheesemaker who has lost his leg to a giant earthworm somehow while trying to get a pourring maggot could get a wooden replacement. Like a crutch, but more efficient on the long term. Or hooks which help a few things and deal as second weapon in case you keep one armed people in your army or something? Is that possible in the new version? Would be fun if so.


Well yeah anyways, would love to see a new version and enjoy playing that, albeit I keep the current version and the possible fix aswell cause once in a while that superior feeling when having an army of adamantine golems with adamantine plated legendary skilled dwarfs with wolfram crossbows with adamantine bolts or adamantine swords while most of them being mages is just... well... godly. While those poor little goblins cant do much if they dont bring mounts like war raptors or such.

Ouch... a silver mace the dwarfs of my current fortress could have fixed that werewolf...


Well yeah similar... rather interesting things happen there on that miners expedition (lots of Hematite and Galena hehe)...

Lets see:
Good to know that you are such a kind brat. Swearing an oath of celibacy infront of a succubus thief.

And one of my miners decided to become possesed by an unknown force and started working on an artifact... fastly he claims the masons workshop... "God again another stupid hourglass..."

Nope instead he grabs alot of Gypsum (3)... and then demanded gems... so I have decided to give it a try if rocksalt counts as a gem if cut...

Alright... now lets see... a bed made out of gypsum... and rocksalt?!?

Both minerals are... well... water-soluble... Gypsum might be a bit harder but still is... but really... those nice rocksalt decorations... theyll wash away when it comes in contact with water... just think about it... its a hot summer... you are lying on this awesome bed... its warm... you are sweatening alot... and all the sudden the bed breaks while you are sleeping? Why cause its water-soluble... Good job my dear friend... thats truly an awesome bed you made...

Is Zeratul unstoppable?   

Spider Spider, Spider Spider, does whatever a spider does. (Which is webbing your military and one shotting them, regardless of armor or skill)

Yep nothing is worse then a eyeless Spider Forgotten Beast composed of steel. They kill anything, even if armored...

Edit 1:

Hm Air Mages might help with this, they are webimmune arent they?

Grr ninajed was about to edit my post Meph

Wonderfull, loving the warlock updates, makes it easier to get used to them.

And good job on the Orcs and Succubi too.

Oh and finally my icemages wont freeze themself to death once I got back to that point (Requiring that random world gen actually does something good... 7th world and still no decent volcano embarks for my main/testing save)
