    Each new release of Dwarf Fortress brings unexpected results, but you have before you a very stable if experimental build. Version [5] is the new foundation on which more features will be added or removed. Due to lack of Adventure mode and Legends Viewer, it is difficult to observe/test all content. Player fortress reports, screenshots, and videos are welcome!

    • Subscribe to Dark Ages V, confirm a download begins on your Steam client.
    • Up-vote the mod and read all instructions while you wait for the download to begin and complete. Next start Dwarf Fortress!
    • Be afraid, turn down the lights and click “Create new world.”
    • Select a Large world with all or most maximum settings to generate hyper-history. Young smaller worlds have unique challenges and may be more stable.
    • New “detailed world parameters” are under development and always require a lot of fine tuning each DF update.
    • To access full modifications like enhanced evil biome visuals remove (2) vanilla modules: "Vanilla Text" & "Vanilla World Map." Add Dark Ages V, and No Giant Birds for more diverse savage wilds.
    • Generate your new world. Once completed, carefully pick an embark location.
    • Carefully select pets, skills, and embark items. Silver weapons recommended.
    • Advanced players should select "Hard Enemies" on Embark screen, but even normal will feature great danger.

    Any mods to Dwarves or Vanilla Entities will conflict with DA:5. Mods made by other authors can cause instability in world gen, remove content, or ruin save game files if patched or updated. Use them at your own risk. In general with DF mods: if you update entities, reactions, or creatures - plan to generate a new world.
    • (a) You agree this mod is artwork produced for entertainment purposes only. Parental guidance is suggested.
    • (b) You agree to use the Dark Ages mod “AS IS” and at your own risk under limited license without warranty or expressed fitness for any purpose. All features are subject to change without notice. Flaws in this mod may not necessarily be fixed, removed,  or fixable currently.

    "Features announced for the unreleased “Dark Towers” version do not all appear in R1."

    Is this being split into two parts?

    Gonna hafta try this out later.

    How does the magic work? What kind of crafting can adventurers perform? What does each race do? So many questions, so few answers. The website doesn't give us much to work with.

    I always seem to end up with a magnificent burial complex and nowhere near enough bodies to fill it, or far too many bodies and nowhere to put any of them.

    Thank you guys. We never got a chance to chat Deon, so looking forward to hearing your feedback. Meph, more of the Masterwork monsters were supposed to make it in, but time permitted only a few of the spookier ones for R1.

    "Features announced for the unreleased “Dark Towers” version do not all appear in R1."

    If it was split into two parts, R1 contains all the best most diverse content. Changes that didn't make it into R1 were mostly changes to vanilla or somewhat redundant elements.

    Gonna hafta try this out later.

    How does the magic work? What kind of crafting can adventurers perform? What does each race do? So many questions, so few answers. The website doesn't give us much to work with.

    I will add more content listing to the site and forum post soon. Eventually, the guidebook will go into the most depth.

    Just started an adventurer.  And I'm getting a weird bug where tiles are flashing between tons of different resources from slime to adamantine.  All of which i can pick up.

    That happens when there is no inorganic with SOIL tag in the raws.

    I've not seen this happen before. Is this something I broke? I've not messed around with soil.

    I might have caused it when i removed aquifers.

    EDIT: Fresh Install fixed it.  Sorry for the false alarm.
