Well, is the project dead? There's just SO MUCH that could be done in the new version to make DF Pratchett-y.
Trolls made out of stone.
Dwarfs, two factions: one traditionalist, the other one more metropolitan.
Gnomes with bodies out of slate to accomodate their toughness.
Werewolves, zombies, gnolls, vampires, banshees and all the others as castes in the playable civ, maybe? Would be nice to have a truly Ankh-Morpork cosmopolitan feel. Of course, they'd still appear as separate entities.
Wizards and witches would be great, too, although I've no idea how is modding-in magic in the new version doing.
A talking rat civ...

I think someone figured out how to add something a little like magic using castes or at least elementalists.

Create a caste which turns up perhaps 1 in a thousand births which has attributes like being immune to fire and breath fireballs.
I'm not sure how well this could be expanded for wizards.

For Trolls it would be perfect.
You could create a ruling caste made of diamond.

Are attacks in the raws yet?
"the witch stares at the snake"

A doctor/alchemist caste of igors would be cool.

Can races be made extra vulnerable to weapons made out of particular materials?
Elves which can be poisoned by iron would be cool.

For this, you actually need to make the Elves badass. Using vicious scourges and (eventually) riding horrible pale horses, and very, very warlike... quite ready to enslave another race entirely. ..

Hmn. I think I like them. Heh.

Personally, I think that if we do end up making a Discfort mod, there shouldn't be any major characters because then it'd be strange. Just the actual world and setting of Discworld.

I thought about making Discworld mod a lot of times, but I am constantly distracted by my other mods. Well, maybe some day :).

They've always been in raws. New version greatly limits attack types though, it would be easier in 40d.

It's Disk world, all you need to make them wizards is make them nobles that don't issue mandates- they'll sit around eating and drinking and not doing anything; you just need to mod in tobacco and smoking.

Death needs the [FANCIFUL] and [DOES_NOT_EXIST] and [SPHERE:DEATH] [SPHERE:REBIRTH] and such in it. Maybe also adding [MEGABEAST]?

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

[TIME:STOP] make him a bit more than a megabeast. If you pause the game, Death will still move about.

So is anybody actually interested in making this? Sadly I cannot devote full time to it, I could only do support stuff like sprites or items.

If someone can provide a list of things to do, I can make it.

I've only watched cartoons and haven't read books, so I would need a list of races and animals and items and stuff with as much details as possible, better in one file/post.
