I like the "caverns are !!FUN!!" approach.

@locustgate, are the mutants going to be cavern animals, or entity which makea camps in caves, or entity which sieges from underground?

Most will be cave entities. I'm working on making Behemoth mutants above ground megas[cough] giant/minotaur rip offs with different limb #, and maybe some FUN features WOO SYNDROME SPIT![/cough]. I really couldn't picture something the size of a giant fitting in a cavern, plus they wouldn't be fun. There are some mutants that have reverted to animalistic intelligence.

Fall from heaven 2 is the best mod for Civilization IV game out there. It justifies the start fromcscratch as the end of the Age of Ice, when a human hero slays the god of ice/stasis Mulcarn who previously came to power because of the Fall of his counterpart Bhall (the goddess of Fire/change) which allowed him to freeze the world over for centuries.

Btw in that mod mutations are feats of the Sheaim, the evil nation of cultists which want to let the hell into the world.

Did it come on one of the expansion packs?

I've got the entity creatures pretty much framed, just need to add their personalities. Except for the mutants, which I'm interested in how far I can push castes. The cultists I've got them in vanilla DF, I just need to change the caste names.

Really loving the idea. The story reminds me of Fall from Heaven somewhat, you just need to justify the mutants which look a bit out of place, corrupted/twisted/fallen/chaos sounds more suitable. I am sure your mod will be awesome, if you need help with some creature tiles please let me know.

Never heard of it, I think. Mutagenic properties of what caused the 'end of the world'

Yup.  They would need loincloths and chausses sandals at the least. 

Unfortunately no sandles only shoes. Sooooo a roman/greek hipster.

After I discovered Dwarf Manipulator in dfhack that does about the same thing as Therapist, I migrated over for the sake enjoying df in fullscreen.  I kind of wish that Toady would aquire that plugin.

Why he's working on DF. Do you really want the dev time to double?

v.........that is all....and for which is the best k enter, v-g, and DF wiki.

Not sure where to put WIP mods, started a Post-apocalypse mod ages ago, then dropped it for a Last of Us mod, gave up on modding after my external harddrive got tired of NOT breaking when I drop it, lost both mods. SO since I can't play my favorite worlds, large, at all right now I've decided to pick through my old chemistry notes doodles and restart my mod till I can play DF without a 30fps

Story:
It has been centuries since the frozen age ended, as to what ended it depends on what lands you are from. The wolflanders claim it was when god grew tired of the excess and sins of the old world, it was then that he spared only the most morale and innocent among the rotten world. The eaglelanders claim it is when the bearlands grew tired of siting behind their wall and chose to wipe away what they could not take. The bearlanders say it was a star that fell from the skies and plunged the world in fire then ash. All that is known is it is now our time to reclaim the lands that belong to our forefathers and we shall rise from the back of the world that has sheltered us for all these years.

Factions:
The Reclamation (Reclaimer): The default playable faction. A militaristic society after centuries sheltered within mountain vaults these  humans have set out into the world to remove the weak and mutated and rebuild a stable modern society whether that is by the rifle or the pen.

The Northlands (Northerner): Of all the lands hit it was the already frozen northlands, the so called bearlands, that suffered the hardest. Over night many ancient cities become unlivable ice caked landmarks. These men and women are hearty and have become skilled at breaking the will of even the most wild of animals.

The Wasteland (Wastelander): Hailing from the land of the eagle, do to their sigil, these people have a strong belief of you are worth has hard as you work. While not as militaristic as the other lands, what they lack in military they make up in stubbornness.

The Wolfland (Wolf): Hailing from the temperate regions the Wolves are a feudalistic society that is rabidly militaristic. Despite their archaic system, feudalism, they hold many wonders including the most advanced armorments of the old world, power armor.

The Plague Children (Cultists): While typically fighting the Wolflanders they are seek to spread the will of their plague father through out the lands, any who dare stand in their way shall fester and die.

Raider Clans (Raiders): Humans that have abandoned the trappings of civilization and have devoted their lives to looting and pillaging.

Not at all: we can't even get the dwarves to not bring their toddlers into the f*cking battlefield yet 

Exactly why I gave up on creating an amazon fort, 1/2 of my best dwarves had kids.
