Due to a huge bug with the orcs (sending friendly trading caravans... Damn you pansy orcs!) and a duplicate hippo entry I've been forced into an early release. Good news for you guys but it means I have to up my game over the next few days to get some more quality additions in!

You can find the new file at the same address: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=980

Sunstone and Moonstone are already in the vanilla game

Though, the mod does look interesting. I might have to try it one of these days (I'm too busy working on a couple of forts right now to start yet another).

Well there goes another incremental release fixing that particular problem. Thank you very much for alerting me to it sir  !

EDIT: Is anyone actually interested in this mod or am I doing something wrong?

[Faenaris]

If nobody was interested, there wouldn't be any replies. I can only speak for myself ofcourse, but I can't really test your mod for the following month. Got exams coming up.

But the feature list did grip me from the start, even though I haven't tested it yet.

First thing I noticed on this mod (it was mentioned in another thread) is iron's value has been decreased. As I dont embark with a anvil ( for more points for buying assorted crap ) it kinda threw my saved embark profiles out of wack.

Unforunately I couldnt play awhole lot today (damn work) to get a feel for the mod yet. Once I get more time playing, I'll leave some feedback.

I think that DF needs a bit of an increase in toughness for the average player... I think eventually I'll make farming harder and the average creature tougher.

I'm all for making the creatures tougher. Once you get a couple of champions running around, gobbos and assorted critters get pasted into Dwarfcake faster than you can say "Fun!".

Looks really nice, I'll definitely try this out the next time I generate a world.

Apart from that, I dunno how historically accurate you want this mod to be but I thought I'd mention that the following instruments weren't developed until the 19th century or later: Accordeon, Harmonika, all Saxophones, Euphonium, and Banjo. That said, having dwarves playing the banjo is kind of an appealing thought.

I don't really mind how historically accurate the game is considering it has elves and dwarves... I'm thinking that might have a butterfly effect and a lot of things might be different. I'm incorporating a lot of plausible fantasy stuff into the mod too...

TEASER.

Coming in the next update:

It can kill you with its screams and wails...

Any guesses?

No...?

How about... A valuable extract from a sea being fashionable into a gemstone.

[Faenaris]

A siren and you extract a Wailing Gem?

[The13thRonin]

A siren and you extract a Wailing Gem?

Banshees and mermaid tears.

Awww ... Pretty close though.

Berserk carpenter dorf ambushed my fishermen, claimed 2 lives and badly crippled 1 dwarf after which a sudden Orc siege wiped out the rest of my ~30 dwarf strong reclaiming party with ease (before that some skeletal horses and that angry berserking carpenter wiped out the other 6 dwarves) After I learn to survive them orc sieges I'll try to give some feedback  looks pretty promising!

By the way is it a bug that orcs from their previous successful siege are friendly?

Either orc bowmen are über killing machines or I just suck, go figure  . Are the orcs even nastier in the actual orc mod? I'm used to some serious whooping from other roguelikes so I won't get depressed of FUN TIMES (probably )

Another orc siege, wish me luck  !

EDIT: Since all the reclaimer dwarves are(/were) friends and they suffered quite alot casualties (10 out of 50) it ended up with all the remaining dwarves going berserk / mad... Is there a way around that 

EDIT2: 9 miserable dwarves are still alive and just got another orc siege  just waiting the remaining dorfs to die for now...

[The13thRonin]

Yeah Orcs are meant to be that hard, they aren't as tough as in the orc mod, I nerfed them a bit. Also yeah the reclaim thing is a bug with the reclaim code in vanilla Dwarf Fortress. I can't fix it. They go hostile again on the next orc siege I believe.

Yeah I noticed them going hostile on the next siege.

But it's the spiral of unhappiness that decimated my band of reclaimer dwarves (repeated in a vicious cycle) until I decided to abandon that fortress for good. Haunted surroundings and orc siegers combined there was no time to "build happiness" for the dwarves to balance between unhappiness caused by their deaths (since all of the embarking dwarves are friends the situation escalated from a couple of casualties).
