No, no. Their flesh is NOT magma safe as I've found, only their bones are.

I was reading the Elephant description, and I scrolled down in the middle of it to read the rest. I scrolled too far and read the middle of the night wing description instead:

"No, that size is not a typo. Elephants are massive, and they have come to lay waste to your fort just as they did the fortresses of old, only this time they come wielding cruel weapons of steel, experience neither pain nor fear, disable your traps, are free of any need for breath or nourishment, and worst of all, they can fly on their leathery wings."

When elephants can fly...

killerdumbos from beyond the realms of horror?

I can't wait for my first siege I already have a defense plan.
I will seal my entrance off, byild another layer of walls ontop, build a bridge, and build ramps down.

It might be likely than you think...

So, I started a fort and my first migrant wave brought me a high master weaponsmith and a something or other armorer. No sieges yet though, and my 19 soldiers are waiting for a fight.

[Rask]

Argh! The hellfire imps blew up my drawbridge! They aren't allowed to do that! The three other sieges took advantage of that to storm my fortress, but fortunately the military was up to handling them. Still, that was a nasty, nasty surprise.

[adwarf]

I don't have a military I have like thirty war dogs, thirty goat kids, and about 150 other animals ( I mean that literally )

[kerlc]

i want the dark stranglers to use armor, just some mail shirts. for use in military, aswell to have more FUN. how? i tried messing around their ENTITY file. but id does not work. some instructions, please?

[adwarf]

I am going to make a fortress with just wood. See how long I last with just crossbows, and wood wepons.

They dont have access to the jobs needed to produce those pieces I believe.

Tried something like that in vanilla a year ago, was quite Fun! I doubt it would be possible now without danger rooms, experience is painfully slow to gain now.

I think I'll give this mod a shot after my succession fort's turn.  Does it work well in .31.19?

[adwarf]

Yay it does I play it in latest version, and so far no problems.

Try giving their creature file entry [EQUIPS]. You might also need to copy the appropriate item entries for weapons/armor from other entities.

I checked over the changes from .18 to .19, and the only significant change that needed taking care of was related to the food requirements of civs in legends mode.

As for the new version, this mod should still theoretically be compatible with it. I haven't noticed any game breaking bug fixes, although if you're trying to fight off endless waves of sieges without steel, all I have to say is...godspeed.

On a slightly off-topic note, I went to go post in the Raspeddiamonds thread, only to see that I was already the penultimate post.

[JacenHanLovesLegos]

I'm playing the 31.18 version and at this rate, my 30 dwarf military will have steel equipment before the first siege! I had most, if not all, civs at embark and it's almost the end of my second year. Is this normal?
