This mod is pretty great! I have 5-6 races near me, and only one is hostile (the things with one eye, one leg and one arm.) The sprites are pretty annoying (on a previous embark, they stole some cloth from a wagon), and the flarestone keeps blowing up and burning my miners. They are getting brown (I think that's bruised) injuries to their upper body; wouldn't you believe that there was a multi-layer vein in my dining room and workshop layers! Its sedimentary, you see; I want hematite, but it looks like I'll have to dig out to the edges of the map.

One of my dogs was killed and another injured in a wolverine fight (the one that was killed was my only male, damn), but the super skilled immigrants that this mod adds were cool... even if one was a High Master... Potash Maker.

Glad you're enjoying this! But the super-skilled immigrants are actually a vanilla thing. At the very least, there should be nothing that creates high masters more regularly than in the stock game. Except perhaps crutch walkers.

WHAT. I have a High Master Potash Make, an amazingly skilled fish dissector, a smith who's novice in every metal skill, I had a guy with such high skills I thought he was a vampire (he wasn't) and tons of useful immigrants. In my vanilla worlds, I was getting novice ash makers, and other such junk.

Very strange. I do like the flarestone though; I believe that the coke it's processable into counts as refined coal for steel-making. Annoyingly though, it seems to have displaced (although I might just be unlucky) the hematite in the sedimentary layer. Very annoying, especially as I had on another world a load of astral tears - I don't even have that yet!

As nice as the evil civs are though, I may have to re-embark on an area without them if they really have killed my mountainhome; the trade liason didn't show up, though the caravan did.

I've uploaded Direforged 1.2e with the raw updates from DF 0.40.13. That means, for the time being, all creatures use STANDARD_GRAZER rather than the (now less generous than default) Direforged formula. I'm not quite sure yet if I want to provide my formula as an option or not...

any plans for graphics version for this? Great mod by the way.

[Knight Otu]

I'm honestly not sure. I might resurrect the Phoebus version, since I've been writing a small options script that doubles as an utility to update raws to Direforged format by automating many repetitive changes like the new hoof style. That would make it easier to maintain two or more branches of the mod. I'm not sure if there'll ever be sprites for my creatures, though, since I'm not particularly good at art. Possibly I can do edits of Phoebus graphics for some races.

I include graphics for Direforged Megabeasts and Night Creatures in the Dark Ages mod. Knight Otu is free to use them if he ever decides to put a larger tileset together.

[Knight Otu]

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

The raw update for 0.40.14 is out, adding the stepladder and removing the LIKES_FIGHTING token. I am playing around with the shyhak'ur some for testing, though there are still things that aren't quite as I like them (and of course there are things I simply can't do). I'm not sure when I'll be happy enough with them for the net content update to occur.

Removing LIKES_FIGHTING? I guess I missed something.

[Knight Otu]

Toady removed the functionality, because the token only was used for the enjoyed slaughter thought. Keeping it in shouldn't cause error logs for now, though.

No errors so far. Which is good, because many, many creatures in Dark Ages use that token.

v1.2g, the gelding update, has been uploaded on the DFFD.

[Knight Otu]

Direforged has been updated to 0.40.24 standards, getting rid of several material errors and a few typos.

[GoblinCookie]

Would it be okay for me to merge Direforged and Forgotten Realms Mods for the next release, if I credit you for it Knight Otu?
