Since I am using Ironhands graphics pack I am using the Goblins from the mod by Phobeus to represent my Orcs.  Would you like me to put together a zip file that includes the Entity changes we made further up the page, as well as the Orc graphics (I would of course have to ask for permission from Sphr first)?

That would be great, now that I'm back from Labor Day, although I've already fixed the orc_orc issue and replaced the file on dffd. I remember some name clashes last version, so thought I'd be a good modding citizen and take my own namespace before publishing it, then forgot to change that reference.

I'm currently working on an Orcish full graphic set with all professions (suited for Ironhand so they are 18x18) so if you want them I can share when I'm done.

Ah, nice. Some of my fondest DF memories revolve around the old orc mod. (See Greatbridge of Oceans, etc). As Rysith said, (I think), it's not how the orcs attack you; it's that they do it so soon. It really gives some meaning to the mid-game aside from exploring the caverns. It gives you something to do/prepare for, and so on.

awesome mod .. orcs somehow time their attacks when elves are around^^ got the 3rd of their caravans slaughtered by them on my doorstep for free stuff :)

the only thing is .. is there a guide or someone to help how to get custom graphics to work with it .. i tried every pack and instruction listed here but dont get beyond the ugly wagonwheel icon for orcs (playing 0.49 ironhand pack)

anyone may give me a hint or files :) (pm  would be ok :)

PS: i found an odd behavior .. with the .15+ revert to goblin raids goblins seem to freeze in awe when they ambush  when orcs are present .. they just stand where they emerge and do nothing :)

I seem to be having a bit of trouble making this work, then again im new to modding. When I put this into the RAW no orcs ever show up in worldgen. Can anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong?

With some additional modding involving castes it's possible to combine orcs and goblins into a single race. Each will retain their unique strengths and creature tiles (g for goblins and O for orcs), with the ratio of 10 goblins to each Orc, as they are technically the same species according to some sources. I believe this combination also depicts Orcs as taskmasters for the larger numbers of goblins. The ratio can be adjusted to increase the challenge.

Creature_standard

The challenge is also increased by the Orc's obtainment of cavern mounts and other goblin civ advantages.

Holy cow necro.

Good necro though, people need to be aware of the awesomeness that is this mod.

Hey guys, I'm very happy to find this mod! Is it compatible with 31.18??

Also I read above that the orcs can use up to bronze.. is it possible to change it so they use up to steel?

Also is it possible to make dwarf fortress throw more skilled enemies at you? Even a legendary fighter or axeman once in a while? Perhaps the leader of the siege?

Make a new caste with
   [NATURAL_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE:15]
   [NATURAL_SKILL:ARMOR:15]
   [NATURAL_SKILL:MELEE_COMBAT:15]

They will be grandmaster fighters.

Thanks this sounds like what I was looking for, but where do I put this? (total newb here).

Also.. will this make ALL of them master fighters or does it just enable some of them to attain that level of skill?

In the orc creature entry, you might see something that says [CASTE:MALE]

Just in front of it, paste this:


Code: [Select]
[CASTE:ORC_WARLORD]
        [CASTE_NAME:orc warlord:orc warlords:orc warlord]
        [MALE]
        [POP_RATIO:1]
        [NATURAL_SKILL:STANCE_STRIKE:15]
        [NATURAL_SKILL:ARMOR:15]
        [NATURAL_SKILL:MELEE_COMBAT:15]


Then add a [POP_RATIO:5] tag just below the CASTE:MALE and CASTE:FEMALE tags in the orc creature raws.

What I have posted here will create a new type of orc called an Orc warlord. There is one warlord born for every 10 normal orcs (you can decrease proportion by increasing the value of the         [POP_RATIO:5] tags for normal orcs). They will be legendary battlers and always male.

I'm in the same boat as this guy, but he posted his question on (coincidentally) my birthday, 10/17, one year ago, and has yet to get a reply. Could someone break this down step by step? I could get it to work fine before 2010 :/
