Zonk: added trivia about immoderation

Drunks are [[human]]s who believe themselves to be [[dwarf|dwarves]], and spend much of their time consuming copious amounts of [[alcohol]] and going on great [[Adventure Mode|adventure]]s.

Drunks can be found in any [[human]] town's inn, and will always join an [[Adventure Mode|adventurer]] if asked. They are prized for their ability to tie up large crowds of [[monster]]s (or lone dangerous ones) and take the brunt of their [[attack]]s while the adventurer and his more skilled cohorts move in for precision strikes.

According to Bloat373, a specific entity member being a drunk or not is based on his [[personality|immoderation]]. This could mean one could increase or reduce the number of drunks in an entity with proper modding.

[[Category:Modding]]

As you've probably noticed if you've spent much time playing DF, the language routines used for naming people, sites, regions, etc. can produce some rather nonsensical output, such as "The Lazy Sabre of Buttering". Like much of the game though, it can be modded, and though time-consuming, can add much more character to a new civilization rather than just re-using the existing files.

==language_SYM.txt==

'''[SYMBOL]''': This defines a category of words, which works with the [SELECT_SYMBOL] and [CULL_SYMBOL] arguments in the corresponding [[Entity Tokens|entity file]] to create a list of words which your civilization will prefer to use and those it will never use. For instance, dwarves by default have [SELECT_SYMBOL:ALL:ARTIFICE] and [CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:FLOWERY]. This means that dwarven surnames, placenames and group names will tend to use words in the [SYMBOL:ARTIFICE] list (such as ''cloister'', ''hammer'' and ''steel'') and will never use words from the [SYMBOL:FLOWERY] list (such as ''butterfly'', ''meadow'' and ''velvet''). Under each [SYMBOL] heading, all possible words are listed in the form [S_WORD:word].

The full list of possible SYMBOL arguments are:

*ARTIFICE
*ASSERTIVE
*AQUATIC
*COLOR
*DEATH
*DOMESTIC
*EARTH
*EVIL
*FLOWERY
*GOOD
*HOLY
*LEADER
*MAGIC
*MYSTERY
*MYTHIC
*NATURE
*NEGATIVE
*NEGATOR
*NEW
*OLD
*PEACE
*PRIMITIVE
*PROTECT
*RESTRAIN
*ROMANTIC
*SUBORDINATE
*THOUGHT
*UGLY
*UNTOWARD
*VIOLENT
*WILD

In addition, there are a few special categories used only for naming civilizations, region and sites on the world map:

*NAME_CAVE
*NAME_DESERT
*NAME_ENTITY_KINGDOM
*NAME_ENTITY_TOWN_FOUNDER
*NAME_FOREST
*NAME_GLACIER
*NAME_GRASSLAND

*NAME_TUNDRA

==language_words.txt==

In this file, all words that the game uses for naming are listed, defined by part of speech, and then the exact form for the part of speech given (including plurals for nouns). Example:

[WORD:MOUNTAIN]
[NOUN:mountain:mountains]
[FRONT_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
[REAR_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
[THE_COMPOUND_NOUN_SING]
[THE_NOUN_SING]
[REAR_COMPOUND_NOUN_PLUR]
[OF_NOUN_PLUR]
[ADJ:mountainous]
[ADJ_DIST:2]

In this case, the word can be used in noun or adjective form. The noun form can be used
*at the beginning of a compound noun ("Mountain-Axe")
*at the end of a compound noun ("Axe-Mountain")
*as part of a compound noun directly following ''The'' ("The Mountain-Axe")
*on its own after ''The'' ("The Mountain")
*at the end of a compound noun, in plural form ("Axe-Mountains")
*after ''Of'', in plural form ("Of Mountains")

 How [ADJ_DIST] functions is currently unknown, but appears to have something to do with the order the adjectives can appear in.
 
==Racial Language files==
Each racial language has its own text file with headers of [OBJECT:LANGUAGE] followed by [TRANSLATION], with an argument of DWARF, ELF, HUMAN, etc.

The rest of the file is basically a glossary, with all entries in the format [T_WORD:(WORD):(Racial word)]. So the entry [T_WORD:MOUNTAIN:onol] means that the game will use the word ''onol'' for ''mountain'' any time it is called for in that language. Even though each race has certain sets of words that they never use because of the preferences in their [[Entity Tokens|entity file]], the racial glossary files distributed with the game have translations for ALL the words, presumably so that there's no problem if you want to mod in a race of dark elves that use words from the EVIL, DARK, NEGATOR, etc. lists.

40d:Children

2008-02-16T21:13:00Z

Zonk: males don't give birth, the bug was fixed

__NOTOC__
Dwarves are considered '''children''' for their first twelve years. They learn how to become a dwarf through living in and participating in dwarven society with no formal schools, apprenticeships or other formal learning; even parenting seems quite minimal.

In fortress mode, some migrant dwarves are married and may have children on rare occasions. Children who immigrate to your fortress might be any age from 2 to 12, and there is no way to determine the age of a child.

Your dwarves may also give birth to children too, but how to get your dwarves to have children is unknown. Some fortresses seem to have a higher fertility rate then others.

==Labor==
Children may not be assigned any labors, but perform some activities without any intervention:

* socialising, through arranging [[party|parties]] in [[meeting hall]]s;
* [[harvest|harvesting]] [[crops]], if the 'All dwarves harvest' order is on;
* removing [[construction]]s (such as walls, floors, ramps);
* pulling [[lever]]s;
* [[hauling]] items to the [[trade depot]];
* eating, drinking, and sleeping as necessary.

Children may not be assigned to the [[noble|nobility]].

==Diet==
Children seem to eat and drink with similar preferences to adult dwarves, including a preference for [[alcohol]] over plain water.

==Kidnapping==
Children are also the target of [[goblin|goblin snatchers]], who will sneak into your fortress
and try to kidnap the young dwarf in a sack. Like stolen objects, children who are removed from the map are lost forever.

==Moods==
[[Strange mood]]s affect children in the same way as adults. [[Experience]] gained through a strange mood will lead to the dwarf having legendary skill in either [[woodcrafting]], [[bone carving]] or [[stonecrafting]], depending on the artifact made.

==Adulthood==
At the age of twelve, children become adult [[dwarf|dwarves]]. While most then become unskilled peasants, those who have successfully completed a strange mood other than possession will become legendary [[craftsdwarf|Craftsdwarves]]; those who help in harvesting plants throughout childhood may have built up sufficient experience points in the [[grower]] skill to become Planters.

==Dwarven parenthood==

As an oversight in programming, children's parents can become so preoccupied with finding their children that they can die of thirst. This is aimed to be fixed at a later update.

40d:Cyclops

2008-02-16T20:24:56Z

Zonk: slained -> slain

A giant one-eyed monster. Found mainly in caves. Town leaders may want them slain in quests.

They attack with wrestling, and due to their size, they are capable of doing serious damage.

Since they only have one eye, skillful wrestlers may be able to gouge it and completely blind the monster, destroying its accuracy.

'''Biome tokens''' are used to indicate environments for [[creature]]s, [[plant]]s and entitities.

All objects that use biome tokens can take multiple entries, so they can be found in many different locations.

To create something that only appears when you discover the cave river, lava, or chasm, use SUBTERRANEAN_WATER, SUBTERRANEAN_LAVA, or SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM

Tokens no longer require BIOME_ in front of them.{{version|0.27.173.38a}}

Zonk: Elves and Animals

I have successfuly traded them Silk items in 0.27.169.32a--[[User:Draco18s|Draco18s]] 00:01, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

:Thanks for testing it, I removed the verify tag. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 20:43, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I have to wonder why elves wouldn't accept anything made out of wood, when all they want to trade me is animals in wooden cages, and alcohol in wooden barrels and bows and bolts made out of wood...you know what, almost everything they wanted to trade me was made from wood... --[[User:UltimaGecko|UltimaGecko]] 01:32, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

:It's because the elves ask nicely when they take wood from a tree. Dwarves go out and TAKE IT!--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 14:38, 4 November 2007 (EST)

I accidentally tried to trade a wooden bucket with them. The elves scolded me, but still allowed me to trade my stone mugs and scepters. They don't leave straight away anymore.{{Verify}} --[[User:Mechturk|Mechturk]] 01:44, 5 November 2007 (EST)

:Ah, I'm glad they're more forgiving now. Fixed. --[[User:Turgid Bolk|Turgid Bolk]] 02:14, 5 November 2007 (EST)

::They may rather be bugged now. There is a bug report that offering them something they don't like will make their mood maximally happy. --[[User:Geekwad|Geekwad]] 14:14, 19 November 2007 (EST)

:::Elfs are stupid. I traded some stone crafts for some of their wooden cages, and then i tryed to trade those same wooden cages back and they get angry at me for killing trees! [[User:Diabl0658|Diabl0658]] 12:09, 1 December 2007 (EST)
== Fortress in Elf Territory ==

I set one up for fun, and so far (1st winter) there's been no effect. The weirdest part is the large number of named trees; I've avoided cutting them down, and the elves haven't bothered me. I've had hunters chase and kill deer right in their midst with no ill effect as well -- it remains to be seen what happens if he misses the deer and hits an elf, though. Will report back when I find something interesting. [[User:Dolohov|Dolohov]] 10:53, 12 November 2007 (EST)

==Pissed-off the elves...==
They seem to be kinda wussy, considering that I confiscated all of their trade caravan's goods (3k in rope reed cloth of various colors and a little bit of alcohol and seeds) and I expected a siege (my fort is in a boring area, and losing is fun) but they won't attack me. I took their junk a season or two ago. When and how will they attack? --[[User:Penguinofhonor|Penguinofhonor]] 19:22, 27 November 2007 (EST)

:Elves are wusses now. It's not even known if non-evil races still siege, much less treehugging wusses like elves. -[[User:Kefkakrazy|Kefkakrazy]] 01:09, 28 November 2007 (EST)

==Elves bringing corpses==
The elves usually bring an animal or two in cages to trade, but many times that bring cages full of corpses... It's either all alive, or all corpses. Maybe the animals died in transit? Anybody else have this happen to them?--[[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] 22:11, 25 December 2007 (EST)

: "It's not dead, it's resting". Er, the humans do this to me too. Pretty sure it's on the known bug list. [[User:Acama|Acama]] 02:17, 30 December 2007 (EST)

:I'm rather certain that if you're in a climate that you can die from exposure, that this is what happens. Have you gotten a shipment of live animals and a shipment of dead ones while at the same site? If not, then this is almost certainly the case. If so, it's possibly a function of a random number and perhaps the extremeness of the climate. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 04:11, 30 December 2007 (EST)

:I actually prefer this method. I like to trap stuff myself so it makes the cages much cheaper, and the corpse can still be butchered for meat, bones, fat, and skulls. Your butcher will grab the entire cage and take it to the butcher's shop to empty it. --[[User:Ikkonoishi|Ikkonoishi]] 11:20, 30 December 2007 (EST)

== Elves and Animals ==

Doing some testing with using Elves in fortress mode, it seems that they will NOT be attacked by animals. Do you think we might go as far as to write in this page that [NATURAL]creatures will not attack elves? [[User:Zonk|Zonk]] 11:57, 9 January 2008 (EST)
