New update. More dwarf features!

Golems!

Dwarves can create golems. Metal humanoids that never tire, eat or complain. They feel no pain, no exertion. They can equip armor and weapons, do labors and join your military; but can not become nobles or learn most skills. Only combat skills slowly evolve.

Golems are made in the Golemforge, which is a magma-only building. To build it, you require 4 orichalcum bars and 4 orichalcum anvils, which means you need to smelt a lot of bars (on average 800) before you have this much orichalcum gathered. This ensures that you build this late in the game.

Each golem costs 30 metal bars and a large gem. You can use any metal, build Adamantine golem, Rose-gold golems, Steel golems, your pick.

Runes!

The dwarven runesmith engraves weapons, ammo or traps-components with runes. These add special effects to each of their attacks. Any metal can be used, and each metal gives a different bonus. You can engrave as many different runes on the same item as you like.

To engrave runes, you need the Runesmith, which requires magma, 4 mithril bars and 4 mithril anvils. It is also a magma-only building, there is no non-magma version.

Notes: Small, yet high-end update this week. I also added Boltguns Succubi embark profiles and fixed the Goblin Muckracker reactions in Smakes Orc mode. :)

Future of the mod: Still waiting for more people to vote on the poll.
Patreon: 1000 downloads and massive kobold update with 9 new workshops last week; yet no new patrons. I must be doing something wrong. :P

Cheers,
Meph

Okay now I have to do a modified hermit start with a rogue dwarf runelord who has decided to set up a golem forge all by himself. He'll be the only living thing in the fortress. This is awesome!

Golems and runes, two of my favorite features return, awesome! Question: didn't the golem creation killed the dwarf doing the reaction in the old version? Or am I just don't remember correctly?

Got back into DF. Spent the last week generating a world. Spent the whole day yesterday building a wall with towers and such around my fort. Now you release awesome stuff.....

I guess I know what I will be doing next week :)

On another note, did you update Armok Vision to the latest version, the one in the last two packs didn't work, but there is a fixed version on github somewhere?

I think the manual is in need of updating, can you update it with all the new stuff next release?

Hermit mode is crashing when I try to play it.

When you're following an angel, does it mean you have to throw your body off a building?

When the old golems were in, I always got a little freaked out at abandoning a fort.

Like there was a dwarven soul trapped in a metal body, wandering the darkened hallways and ruins forever after he sacrificed his physical life to preserve the fortress.

wouldn't it be more fitting to call them automatons rather then golems?

why? Mythical golems were statues with scrolls in their heads.

I'm not sure if this was was brought up before, but I am noticing that grazing animals seem to eat far more grass now. They keep leaving their pastures barren far more quickly than before and it is hard to keep even just two grazers in one area without them starving in minutes. Was there a change that would have caused this situation, or is it a quirk of the game version, or something?
