Civilization forge has lamellar  armor. Heavy (though not plate armor heavy,) but also very protective.

Damn writing up language files is annoying, especially with a fragmented language like old norse.

I've done a through b so far, had to remove some words and add in others. Though I'm noticing similarities with some words from german and swedish and english. It's interesting to see the ancestral root words of northern european language.

EDIT: Finished a though f now.

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

I already said you can get the language from Genesis the moment I posted, I am always happy to share.

But you make a different nordic language, and it's awesome. While finnish language is amazing, norwegian looks a bit more suitable for vikings. Having more languages is always great!

that would make it be self conflicting and probably crash the game.

nah, DF is actually pretty good about that.

I'm quite certain someone simultaneously being made leader of 3 squads would crash the game. Might test it when I have the time.

Either that or you'd have the best leader of people ever (and by that I mean the most useless, since people who win elections are usually the most sociable).

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

Until the next election anyway, because there's always that one idler who won't stop talking to people.

It's too bad you can't have an election that chooses someone based on their combat stats.  It'd definitely make things like Orc Fortress (in Meph's Masterwork mod) a lot more interesting.

Also, modded the human raws a little bit to make a larger version, and changed their name to Norseman.

Edit it as you please. (Just so you know, I'm really tempted to either delete the [HAS_NERVES] or add the [NOEXERT] tags for that extra norse ferocity that they're attributed.)

Splint thinks we should make a berserker caste with [PRONE_TO_RAGE] and I'm inclined to that as well.

I'd be alright with that, but you should probably delete the [HAS_NERVES] on the berserker at that point.  For a berserker to go into a maddening rage, and then suddenly succumb to pain would be actually quite pitiful.

Can you edit the rage system so they loose the [HAS_NERVES] when they enter it, and regain it when they leave rage? It'd make wolverines and badgers 100% more scary, but we're Norsemen, right? :P

I'm not sure we could edit the rage system itself, I think that's hard-coded into the game.  We might be able to make a transformation thing where we change the race of the berserker to something extremely similar to the regular Norseman, just bigger and with less nerves.  And more rage.  That'd take a lot of work though, and I'm not sure I have the capacity to even know where to start.

Of course the cheap way isn't so much removing nerves as much as them not feeling pain in general. While they wouldn't black out from pain,they'd be susceptible to harm as normal. Bet they'd make great woodcutters and miners...

Ah, it's [NOPAIN], thanks for reminding me about that tag.  [NOFEAR] would also be a tag to throw in there.
