Dark Elf Civilization

Elves that are tolerable neighbors? Thanks!

Hey, any plans on releasing an update? It's been a while

@Dúnadan Not elf-related, it's a major issue for all intelligent creatures in the current version of DF

I've been enjoying the shit out of this mod. Had a fun start with a civ of dark elves with only one fort who's holdings got taken over by a legion of orcs (from another mod.) My expedition leader was chosen as the new queen fairly early on and she's been Matron Mothering it up since then. I hope you continue working on this, it's a real gem. I'd love to see some pet spiders and more names be added in the future.

Question for anyone able to answer: How do you fulfill their Need for romance and to be with family? None of my elves ever really seem to get together. I'm new to Dwarf Fortress still so I'm likely missing something obvious. Thanks!

Hello, I am still planning on doing an update I will have a month off of work here soon and that is when I plan on having it finished. I will be sure to look into adding more names.

Will there be an update? Since so far I noticed that there are not a lot of dark elf names. At 200 elves in a fortress you have a LOT of repetitions and it makes it hard to differentiate them

I'm curious as to how the update they're working on will impact the mod. Will we be seeing dark elf babies and children too around the time the update drops?

@video game enjoyer I am glad you had fun with it! I will definitely refine the mod and I had already planned on replacing the dogs and cats with spiders. I just have a lot going on right now but once I get a chance I will definitely add spiders as for religion and government I have taken a few notes on what they could look like but I have not decided yet, I was leaning on making the Dark Elves very similar to D&D Drow without changing their play style too much from the base game dwarves. I mainly do not want the rest of the world's population to hate Dark Elves.

Played a successful fortress and had a bunch of fun little stories about militia captains getting smashed drinking wine until they were cross-eyed and then shooting at ogres from our castle battlements and somehow still hitting them in the head. The dark elven national pastime of stripping surfacers who get caught in our traps nude and dropping them into a pit we'd systematically filled with every spider we could catch was great fun. We brutally ambushed and killed some elf traders who showed up to try to sell us some flowers (the nerve!) and ever since then our expedition leader/mayor/baroness "never feels discouraged."

Not sure if you're going to expand or refine this mod any more than what you have already but I think if you changed how the government titles worked and maybe made a bit more of a governmental focus on religion it'd make it even better. Oh, trainable war spiders! It needs to happen.

Great mod!

Can they wear large stuff?
