What MODS can I safely add to the PeridexisErrant's Starter Pack 0.44.12-r02 without risking an unstable game?     I would like to include Fortress Defense Mod II, but it looks like it hasn't been updated since January so I don't know if this would be safe.   Any mod recommendations for increasing the fantasy(dragons, magic, siege attacks, ogres, etc.,) details?

If your looking for simple DF Mods that add new content such as races, creatures, metal, ect. to the game, your best bet is looking up in "Mod Releases" and just read up on the ones that are up to date (44.12) with DF in general, most mods already work with the starter pack since most are mainly edited within the raws, while others take a bit cuz some rely on DFHack. Just keep this in mind tho, truthfully if you plan on playing mods just keep an open mind of possibility of any mods having any gamebreaking bugs, and if you come across such thing to let the creator of the mod know about it. Then again there are some game breaking bugs in vanilla as well.. so that doesn't help us modders when we come across it while play testing xD.

Mods that rely on DFHack should work perfectly fine with the starter pack.

Mine should definitely still work - I think some of them were included in one of jecowas packs.

Haberdasher should work fine in the current version.

If you want the Fortress defense mod, you can rip it from the Meph tileset pack, which includes an updated version of it, plus new graphics for all included creatures done by Vordak.

Thanks everyone... I'm starting with the  Dark Ages III: War & Mythos ⊕] Vanilla + Horror [44.12][Ironhand Dark]  mod which seems to include the Defense Mod as well.   My new fort has walls and a gate... hopefully something will try attacking the walls and drawbridge.   I remember several years ago intentionally not building bridges because it would allow me to survive years and years and years avoiding all threats... eventually I had to stop building traps as well.   Crossing my fingers for some good siege attacks.
