I wish I could get this mod to work

Good luck getting it to work (you'll need to balance around load orders a fair bit)

Hey Giovanni... it was 1-2 years back now that I played so some of the mods either changed (so they don't work together well/at all anymore) or are just gone... but - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3437590817 that's the closest I could get it.

@RoReaver

Could you drop us a link to these extra mods?

I always have a few dwarves survive but I was also mixing in a couple of extra mods on top which gave multiple branches of races (so dark dwarves, viking-like mountain dwarves, high dendrophiles, dark dendrophiles, etc).

neat mod but man do these rats just ruin world gen. I get that it fits the lore of warhammer and all, but dwarf civilizations are just decimated by the amount of ratfolk civs that spawn. And as far as i can tell this mod is dead, so...

Does that mode (and other modes for races) works in the adventure mode?

It'd be cool if they infiltrated and sieged you from the caverns instead of topside.

Trying to release the ratfolk from a cage to beat on them duplicates the cage. it leaves an empty cage but then someone puts them back in a cage in storage

rat mod yes yes

I keep getting spammed with "it's raining ratfolk blood"" notifications

Honestly, I wish these guys could get a playable civilized version. I'd have so much fun making a kingdom of rat clans

Impossible, man-sized rats dont exist!

@totallynotfurry

Check out Gadget's Kobolds for a vanilla friendly, playable kobold race.

do ratfolk not trade? I poked one by demanding tribute and it stayed "no contact" on the world map

Does this work with dark ages?

why no playable :c

nice mod yes yes

Crashes during worldgen for me.

we need kobold race! yes yes

Great mod yes yes. This adds bestest greatest race to dwarf thing fortress game game!

@ParvaRatta Yeah. I think they just chuck hundreds of rats at us since they're so easy to kill. I've had dozens of rat raids and they've hardly even scratched my soldiers. The only threats the rats seem to pose to me so far is child snatchers.

can you start out as the rat men

Oh psh Olenhol stop being a foul grimgi and invite the lad in. We can always use another drinking buddy.

@ParvaRatta
-Every Warhammer fan : *looks at you* Your first time, kid?

Conquer Armok's realm-world for Horned Rat! yes-yes.

Ambushes of ratsized men in the dozens?

Preposterous


**Witch-hunter theme creeps in**

I am loving the mod, but out of curiosity is anybody else getting like absurd numbers of rat ambushes? I've been able to reliably recreate this across several worlds and forts where I hit the minimum required dwarves for an ambush and am getting like 30-40 squads of rats to the point where I simply have hundreds and hundreds of rat crossbows outside at all times 3 or 4 times a year. Lore accurate, maybe, but I'm wondering if it's a quirk of how they generate.

@LaughingCoffin Yes yes. Ikit Claw bring big big boom. Soon soon yes.

Thi-This post was made-crafted by Skaven gang gang

**witchhunter music cues**

No it adds ratfolk

This mod add absolutely nothing

Broken... I am not saying dwarves get routinely kidnapped as toddlers by thieving races buuuut

Are these rats capable of appearing as another species? I'm rather certain I had a visitor to my tavern who was a dwarf with a rat folk name and also his values matched the rat folk civ too...

Have you thought about making statue sprites for these fellows?

Wish this was playable! love the sprites!

Man-sized rodents...? Nonsense, such things are the talk of mad conspiracy theorists. There are no rat-men beneath our fortress.

Click-subscribe to the ratfolk, yes-yes! stab-kill the dwarf-things!

Similarly to what Crow said below, multiple different groups of ratfolk and gnolls will attack at the exact same time and wage a genuine war at the edge of the map

Seeing this error in my error logs, presumably related to this mod:

Creature caste outside of creature caste bounds: 4 for ratfolk with 2 caste(s)

will it be playable one day ? playing skav... RATFOLK on DF is kind of a dream oO 

Similar bug(?) as Crow posted below. I get the occasional ambushes (not sieges) from ratfolk, as well as gnolls, who arrive at the same time. However, they seem hostile to each other and usually fight each other off before I get a chance to do anything.

Uh. How much do Ratfolk weigh? Asking for a friendly pressure plate.

Really strange interaction occurring when the Ratfolk "ambush" (Since they don't seem to siege traditionally) -- They always show up at the same time as a handfull of little vanilla kobolds who immediately die, and then after a minute or so a band of elves, prompting a full-on massacre at the edge of the map.

Only a bit annoying because cleaning the top of the mountain is a pain, but otherwise just wanted to note this in case it's something that shouldn't be happening.

I really hope they start decoupling a lot of this game's features to enable more modding capabilities. Seems like a significant portion of the game is hard-coded

We definitely need a playable race version of this, great work!

Oh my lord getting swarmed by rat men is :chefskiss:

But I am finding I'm having issues with cleaning up refuse and items dropped from the ratmen. Not sure if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.

Great mods been enjoying them.

Not sure if this is intended however, I had a Ratfolk ambush happen and they were accompanied by elves. Is this normal? Thanks in advance.
