Fooled around with the leadership structure a little bit and added in two new positions: the bonetalker/bonedancer (who is their spiritual leader: like a high shaman) and the high chief (who is the civilization leader). You can see them both in the updated graphics below. Both ascend from their more localized equivalents.


Because of their tendency towards thievery, it seems you cannot trade with the Catti in fortress mode - they start off hostile (exporting "terror" ;-D). If you're bent on having them as trading buddies, you may need to either remove that tag in their raws or add item thievery to your dwarves.

It's been a while, but I'm back! I finished an Orc set for Valience a couple days ago, but I didn't want to post it until I heard back from him. He gave me the A-okay, though, so here they are:

Orcs

They're equipped with spears, pikes (though I admit that it looks more like a halberd), bows, hammers, axes, swords, and whips. The two orcs on the bottom row are the chief and his elite bodyguards, respectively.

Hey, Nixy (mind if I calls you that?) would you mind making these two for me, pretty please?

A Shade, simply a shadowy humanoid with a cloak of darkness and a Wight, an undead warrior with a steel sword grafted onto one arm?

I'm sorry for the late response but I'll see what I can do. I've been working on the Wight on-and-off for a couple days, but it's not coming to form as well as I'd hoped. Expect a draft within a day or so.

This is pretty sweet. Posting to keep an eye on it. Someone else did a race of fox-like creatures that would come trade in the winter, I'm still trying to find it again.

Those are the Vamarii. They're a part of the Civilization Forge mod. Check it out :-)

Hey guys!

As some of you might know, I started spriting DF graphics a little while back hoping people would pick them up and mod something out of them. Well, I've since invested a decent amount of time into researching the modding system and gave it a good effort. This is my result.

A primitive, forest-dwelling civilization, the Catti are exactly what they sound like: catpeople. They breed like, well, cats, and have a decentralized leadership system with a shaman and chief in each village. Their leadership on a civlization level is a high chief and a high shaman (known as a bonetalker or bonedancer, depending on the gender of the Cattus who holds it).

Their military currently consists of spearmen, swordsmen, blowgunners and axemen (who use a specialized "hatchet"). They do occasionally steal from other civilizations (meaning they'll begin hostile to you) - I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to change that. They use wooden armour and metal weapons. I've tried to bar high-tech metalworking from them, but I still need to work out a few kinks at this point.


 There are still a lot of things I want to tweak, but I'd still appreciate any critique. And since I'm going to be out of town for a couple days, why not release the alpha and go from there?

So give it a shot, and leave any comments and observations here. Hopefully they work in Fortress mode OK. Have fun:

I've been a little busy amping up for school lately, but I finally have a couple new ones for you:

Ghoul (I modelled this after H.P. Lovecraft's ghouls: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OurGhoulsAreCreepier)

Djinn (This borrows a skeleton face from Sphr's set)

I'm tooling around with an idea for adding some m0re races to the game. First off was orks (and then eventually the combined greenskin armies ). Mainly because I liked playing my greenskin shaman in Warhammer Online way back in beta. But therein lies the problem.

The few orc sprite sheets I've found... well... they don't really mesh well with Ironhand's graphics set. It's entirely possible I've just missed one that does, but for the most part, they don't really fit with the rest of the set. So, if you the time or the will, a set of graphics for the orcs would be amazingly helpful. Not just for my orks, but for anyone else who wants big, mean, and green brutes to beat up their dwarves.

I'll see what I can do about some orcs, though they may be like the Catti: a basic graphics set rather than a fully comprehensive, playable one.

...assuming these are meant to be used for DF, you could make the flower petals grey-scale so selecting the color using the color settings in the raws would set the flower color (assuming I'm guessing correctly how to do the color magic Ironhand (was it Ironhand?) started).

Good suggestion! I'd thought about doing my sprites in greyscale, but still don't know the specifics of the system for colouring them in the raws. I'll look it up and may redo the flower sprites accordingly :-)

And another. I'm not sure if I like the shading on these ones yet, but I'll suspend judgement for now.

Illbloom (A carnivorous flower monster. I couldn't decide on the colour, so I'm giving you two choices.)
