while drow use demons once in a while in lore, i dont see how this fits into my mod if they use it all the time, also i already got mithril and mithralsteel, which are considerably stronger than iron/steel... also the drowmod already uses my titanium and uranium mods too

so more than enough metals if you ask me ;p

about the spider things, yeah i though about that too, also spider vermin in colonies that produce silk like with the silkmoth thing. but for now its ok that you can gather their silk if they use it on animals (like buzzards trying to steal your food stockpile)

edit: i will eventually see to it with .08 then i am implementing the minecart thingie to the mod

v2.3b
* spiders can again use webs
* removed hide from cloud of darkness, as its impairing fortress mode way to much

another challenge would be my drow mod togather with orc mod maybe, while actually a bit weaker and not as tough like goblins and dwarves, they are very very agile, and use all the kinky weapons and armor you need to surpress other races.

but if you made a super strong defence, the only way to make tough enemys would be trap avoid invaders or something like that... and with the right drawbridge/magma combined supertraps not even those are a problem...

So i read the drizzt do urden series (forgotten realms/adnd) mainly because i like drow (and i hate him, and though i know he got plot armor and is a mary sue hope he will die and at least he suffers :x). But with his best friend being a dwarven king there is a lot about dwarven culture, and i love dwarves just as much.

Now the older books had some neat insighst into the dwarves (and even more with the drow of course), but this one while the first pages are a bit annoying (fast forward of 70 years with just a lot of explaining the old and as well creating new characters) the next pages dive directly into the the great dwarven hall of gauntlygrm, so if you want to read this book, i put the following in spoiler, its worth not getting spoiled, even without knowing the other books its good to read. because of the mentioned fast forward stuff with explaniation you dont los much without knowing the other 30 books of the series ^^ also dwarves are the only race in the main cast with more than one character


also i have to say at this point: i only read half of this book, and yet i thought i have to share with the df community for whatever reason, so read the spoiler if you need, or better read the book, or if you can afford to buy 30 books read the whole series, you just need to ignore drizzt (though some even love him, for whatever reaseon, the dwarves are just more awesome anyway... even the humans raised by dwarves in those older books are far greater :p)

v2.3a
* culled tax collector from raws
* removed tame_exotics from dungeon mistress (as she still works as hammerer )
* added shaped to helmets
* added war trainable to quaggoths

the 7.0 update looks nice, though for modders there is still one oddity:
my drow use different stat weighting, so my very strong, very agile and virtually never sick drow shows in dftherapist as strong without marker, but extremly agile and flimsy (though virtually never sick with 4900 is awesome either way oO)
now is the question if there is some way to read those values, or a simple tool so i can adjust and save the properties.

edit: also i noticed that spatial sense is not in, this is also a very important military attribute, because it affects block and even more so dodging a lot (someone with amazing spatial sense and average dodgeing is insanely hard to hit compared to an agile one

well there still is the thing: WHAT THE HECK DOES ERRORLOG SAY? :x
