I just encountered Rufithi Necrotunneled the Dead Tombs of Dying. The most death-centric name I have seen.

Simply adding APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION:ANIMAL_PERSON into the tags of a single cat caste removes all cats from the game. Considering the creature variation is never used in the vanilla creatures castes, is this even possible?

Thick/thin crosses, stars and symbols like that are in descriptor_shape_standard.txt. A very rewarding file to edit for more engraving variety.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who wants to dig something underground, so does anyone know how to keep a dirt tunnel from collapsing?

This is something I'd like to do, exept preferably with cheaper materials than brick:

That fixed the color issue. Thanks!

EA's newest hit Dwarf Fortress: Retribution takes the popular franchise into a bold new direction. Abandoning the ASCII in favor of state-of-the-art graphics, this immersive game presents Dwarf Fortress as it was always meant to be played.

"I have always been an avid fan of Dwarf Fortress, and I'm proud to finally make it into a game that is as accessible to new players as it is for the veterans." says John Thompson from the EA marketing division. "From the first person perspective you get a perfect view to the dark, claustrophobic mines where the goblins and demons are waiting for you behind each corner."

The damage system is more streamlined, while keeping the classic splints and crutches as health pickups. The accurate bodypart-centric damage is also there, and in boss fights like the dragon you must first destroy its claws before getting a chance to strike its heart. Dwarf Fortress boasts over a dozen different weapons and an unique crafting system for upgrading them for either speed, damage or accuracy. "I always loved the detailed geology in the original game. That is why each gem has an element associated with it for a temporary stat boost."

While the plot of Dwarf Fotress: Retribution is still a secret, the pre-release cutscenes have given some insights into the new world EA has created. You take on the role of Ulrich the dwarf, and with the aid of the beautiful elven sorceress Cacame you are sent down to the deepest mines to assault the gobling fortress. Ulrich is betrayed by his commander and he discovers a great secret threatening the fate of the world itself.

The Dwarf Fortress has indeed come a long way from its humble origins and matured into a full-fledged fantasy shooter. Fast-paced combat and the dark setting are sure to make this a must-have for fantasy gamers and hardcore online gamers alike.

Details:
-Three levels raging from mines and underground caverns to the massive dark fortress
-Collect the mysterious adamantium to increase your stats and gain new abilities
-Buy new armors, ranging from rope reed clothes to golden plate mail
-5 boss fights against the most imaginative monsters ever created
-Five different weapons with three upgrades each
-Helpful support characters with healing spells and offensive magic
-12 player multiplayer with modes like deathmatch arena and mine flags

Yet another try, this time I sent the files to a friend who uses Linux, and according to him changing the encoding worked. However, in the game it seemed to work only for the elven language.

Here's the latest version:

Thanks, I wondered where the ┬ characters came from. I'm using windows though, and only encodings I find through notepad and Word are ANSI, Unicode, Unicode big endian and UTF-8. What should I choose?

I hadn't noticed the error in symbols after the latest modifications, so here's the fixed version of the rar:
