Wondering about a mod.
« on: January 10, 2012, 12:17:00 pm »

Is there a mod that sets up wars between Dwarf civilizations? Or maybe a sort of savage dwarf civilization/species?

You have darkdwarves or deep dwarves in some, for example genesis. But no mod really made a dwarf civ that is supposed to be invading you.

If you do that to normal dwarves, the loyality cascade will kill you. War against your home civ is not possible right now.

I think the issue with this is that all dwarf civs are based on the same entity definition, which means they all have exactly the same ethics, which means they're not going to fight each other.  Additionally, dwarves from other civs will, at present, never visit your fortress.  In fact, only one civ from each entity will ever visit your fortress (in my experience, anyway).  If you simply duplicated the dwarves' entity under a different name, I think it would be possible for your dwarves to go to war with other dwarves.  I believe it would also mean that multiple dwarf caravans could arrive together, which may or may not be desirable.

Yes, you can easily mod in evil dwarfs to fight against. Just copy the entity_dwarfs, and make a new one with Babysnatcher. To be sure, make a new creature, Evil_dwarf and add [UTTERANCES] to it. That usually makes them hostile, since they can form no peace treaties.

Make sure to rename the entity as well, lest you get duped raws.
