Hmm, I installed this mod over the 31.16/Mayday package that's available on these forums, and have gen'ed two worlds which I've let run for about two years each. No invaders yet in either one. In both cases there were tons of civilizations listed on the embark screen.

Is it possible that invasions are still bugged in the new version? I'm dying to play this mod.

I think Fleshforge and others have confirmed that invaders work in 31.16.

I personally am under a heavy workload and can't check myself right now.

Make sure that invaders are turned on, and try to increase your population numbers or engage in trade. Maybe your world didn't generate the earliest civs for some reason, but will still send the slightly later ones to eat you.

Invaders work in .16.  I saw a thief or two around the end of my 2nd year.  Third year produced my first siege of dark stranglers.  Beginning of my 5th year just nearly wiped out my military and burned down my trade depot.

If a civilization isn't listed on the embark screen, is there still a chance they may invade? In my latest embark there were only 3-4 listed and I'm wondering if that has an effect.

[FleshForge]

I've fiddled with maybe 10 maps under .16 and all have had the expected invaders (kobolds around late year 1, first ambush around year 2, if you trade heavily you get sieged early, etc).  Your geography can limit who is able to reach you, and yes this is shown on the embark screen -> tab (Civilizations); only the listed civilizations will ever siege you, with the exception of kobolds, who are never listed.  Whether they will come visit you is a different question, I believe they have to be alive in the world population, but they just aren't ever listed on the embark screen.

Yeah, if there're only 3-4 listed, only those 3-4 will attack.

Make sure you're generating onto a region map, not an island map. Island maps have a tendency to cut civs off from your fort even if all of the mod's civs get placed and survive. I hate the fact that the default map setting is on island.

Another funny story, I caught the general of the white tigerman army, and the kennels let me tame him. Afterwards, he was known as something like Amslu Kolinxu, Stray General. I went to dump him in a pit and he was immediately hostile and behaved like a wild animal or thief, had to be chased down and killed.

Also, a War Elephant Wrestler just had War Elephant Calves that I can also tame. I assume they're going to behave the same though.

Try it anyway for Fun! I kinda hoped that the taming of the children of sieging races would result in pets because the civ of the babies shouldn't be the same as the civ of the parents.

The fort in question was running on single digit fps and before i thought to try relesing them i went downstairs and the clowns wiped out my military with syndromes that caused bleeding deaths despite the dwarves not actually bleeding out anywhere visible.

Sounds interesting, put the files straight into Raw Objects???

[FleshForge]

Yes, just the two files for the basic version or the others for the harder version.  The instructions were pretty clear I thought

I have a wave of hellfire imps swimming in my magma moat - that really surprised me   Let's see if they swimm through obsidian as well!

First time I saw these I was like 'aww these look small and harmless OH GOD THEY THROW FIRE OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD' luckily only one of my axedwarves got burnt to a crisp before two archery squads above my walls cut down the ambushers. A quarter of the map was burnt though as they ran away.

[darkflagrance]

The wiki cautions that magma moats don't work against magma-traveling enemies.

But other than denizens of magma pipes, those don't really exist in vanilla, so I thought I'd add them to the game, hehe.

hum I've gotten to year 5 with all civs listed on embark, heavy trading, and huge wealth and pop, and so far only kobolds and dwarves, it seems to be bugged, but randomly.

Not even human or elven caravans?
