Haven't gotten the chance to play this mod yet, but it may be something with a stray Building Destroyer tag, having intelligent creatures that can actually roam friendly sites with that tag is just asking for trouble. I've seen it happen in another mod, peddlers and such just barging into the fort to wreck my trade depot because it was there and knocking chairs and tables over in the tavern because they weren't smart enough to realize they should be acting friendly. The tag's a bit buggy like that, it overrides everything.

Gonna post to say it worked, the shyhak can send missions now. This should be entertaining, when I get this fort going. Not sure if I'm yet good enough to get a wax surface fortress going, but we'll see.


EDIT: This still in progress? Sorry to bother, but it has been some time. It was fun, while it lasted, shyhak on missions were quite a treat. My guess is two shields, two weapons makes them really good in combat, or maybe that was just the quick leveling to legendary levels speaking. Still, I quit that fortress some time ago because we stole a Vermancer's book full of secrets, and some kind of glitch makes shyhak vermancers go to sleep but forget to wake up until they starve, forcing me to deconstruct beds constantly. It got a bit old quick, but at least we got twenty or so legends out of it. But yes, I mean to ask, any plans on updates?

That might need clarification. But if it's all just tag-based then the right tags are in play, they should be able to marry given enough time to interact.

Haven't heard of such a thing before, but unless something really weird is going on my bet is your civ got conquered. You're now all that's left of the old Dwarven ways.

Try raiding your capitol, just in case. Or if you want to be less insane about it probably wait for the liaison to arrive and maybe take him in as a refugee if he's not a goblin.

Am I the only one that's been reading this thread and slowly been realizing that maybe he's been doing absolutely everything wrong? Because I feel a bit like that; should probably not be using techniques that were made before caverns were even a thing, should I...

Been enjoying this mod again, specifically with a Shyhak fortress that seems to be doing quite well (while the dwarven one got Werebeast'd and I quit right then). Still, a couple of questions
One, I imagine the Shyhak being rather fragile is intended, due to the general frailty of anything without an inner skeleton in this game and to compensate for having four arms? Because the chitin doesn't quite protect that much, and even Atlases can get their limbs splatted by unskilled punches sometimes. But then again: Multiple arms. Just having two shields makes a soldier quite hard to hit.
And two, Shyhak can't launch expeditions as far as I know, and I believe it's because a subqueen is needed for that (and I don't have one, because no queen caste members have deigned visit). I'd probably point at the [RESPONSIBILITY:MILITARY_GOALS] tag in that regard; is this intended (Shyhak'ur do seem like the sort) or not?

A naked peasant that is also a baron, at that. Yes, that's happened before.
Shame the game doesn't let you blackmail people yet.
