40d:Entity token
This article is about an older version of DF. |
These Template:L define entities, or Template:Ls, in entity_*.txt files.
Gameplay
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
ADVENTURE_TIER | order | Allows adventure mode. Dwarfs, Elves, and Humans take up tier 3, 2, and 1 respectively. It seems that the best way to use this is to put your entity in the same order as the other tiers. The tiers are in descending order. So you should put a new adventure entity above the Dwarves. Not at the end of the file.
[ADVENTURE_TIER:4] |
INDIV_CONTROLLABLE | Allows the "Play Now!" option adventure mode. | |
CIV_CONTROLLABLE | Allows fortress mode. | |
CREATURE | creature | The type of creature that will inhabit the civilization. Multiple entries will be chosen from at random for each civilization.
[CREATURE:DWARF] |
Placement
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
BIOME_SUPPORT |
|
Frequency goes from 0 to 10. Higher numbers make the entity more likely to settle there.
[BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_GRASSLAND:4] |
START_BIOME | biome | Birth of the civilization can be performed on this biome.
[START_BIOME:MOUNTAIN] |
DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE | site type | Also determines symbol used when selecting civilization. CAVE uses no symbol. Options are:
[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CAVE_DETAILED] |
LIKES_SITE | site type | Most residents will try to move to this site type, unless already at one.
[LIKES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED] |
TOLERATES_SITE | site type | Some residents will try to move to this site type, unless already at one.
[TOLERATES_SITE:CITY] |
WORLD_CONSTRUCTION | construction | Controls which constructions the civ will build on the world map.
[WORLD_CONSTRUCTION:BRIDGE] |
Population
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
START_GROUP_NUMBER | number | Number of breeding couples to start with per entity. Note that single-gender (eg. [FEMALE], [MALE], [NO_GENDER]) creatures will not have breeding couples, so a civilization with only these creatures will not have any population. ( [START_GROUP_NUMBER:10] |
MAX_POP_NUMBER | number | Max population *per entity*, multiply this by max starting civ to get the total population of the species.
[MAX_POP_NUMBER:500] |
MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER | number | Max population per individual site.
[MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:200] |
MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER | number | Max number of entities to spawn at world generation.
[MAX_STARTING_CIV_NUMBER:3] |
Flavor
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
PERMITTED_JOB | Template:L | Allows this job type to be selected. This applies to worldgen creatures, in the embark screen, and in play.
[PERMITTED_JOB:MINER] |
CURRENCY_BY_YEAR | Causes the civ's currency to be numbered with the year it was minted. | |
CURRENCY |
|
What kind of metals the civ uses for coin minting as well as the value of the coin.
[CURRENCY:SILVER:5] |
ART_FACET_MODIFIER |
|
OWN_RACE, FANCIFUL, EVIL, GOOD
Number goes from 0 to 25600 where 256 is the default. [ART_FACET_MODIFIER:OWN_RACE:512] |
ART_IMAGE_ELEMENT_MODIFIER |
|
CREATURE, PLANT, TREE, SHAPE, ITEM
0-25600 Determines the chance of each image occurring in that entity's artwork, such as engravings and on artifacts, for default (non-historical) artwork. [ART_IMAGE_ELEMENT_MODIFIER:TREE:512] |
ITEM_IMPROVEMENT_MODIFIER |
|
ART_IMAGE, COVERED, RINGS_HANGING, BANDS, SPIKES, ITEMSPECIFIC, THREAD, CLOTH, SEWN_IMAGE:0-25600
Determines the chance of the entity using that particular artwork method, such as "encircled with bands" or "menaces with spikes". [ITEM_IMPROVEMENT_MODIFIER:SPIKES:0] This also seems to change the amount that the entity will pay for items that are improved in the ways in their tokens. |
TRANSLATION | language | What language raw the entity uses.
[TRANSLATION:DWARF] |
CULL_SYMBOL |
|
ALL, CIV, SITE
Causes the entity to not use the words in these SYM sets. [CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:UGLY] |
SELECT_SYMBOL |
|
Causes the entity to more often use these symbols in the particular SYM set.
[SELECT_SYMBOL:ALL:PEACE] |
FRIENDLY_COLOR | see Template:L |
The color of creatures currently in your group? [FRIENDLY_COLOR:1:0:1] |

STONE_PREF | Enables creatures of this entity to bring stones in trade. | |
WOOD_PREF | Causes members to use wooden armor, shields, and weapons, as elves do. | |
GEM_PREF | Enables creatures of this entity to bring gems in trade. | |
UNDEAD_CANDIDATE | In previous versions, this also allowed ruins to be automatically populated by undead versions of that species.
Unknown if the tag does anything as of version 40d. |
Religion
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
RELIGION | type | REGIONAL_FORCE: The creatures will worship a single force associated with their spheres. Currently hardcoded to only be associated with rivers and nature.
PANTHEON: The creatures will worship a group of gods, each aligned with their spheres and other appropriate ones as well. ANY_APPROPRIATE_POWER: The creatures will worship creatures with the [POWER] token. At the moment, the only [POWER] creature is the Demon. [RELIGION:PANTHEON] |
RELIGION_SPHERE | sphere | Can by any available Sphere. Multiple entries are possible. Choosing a religious sphere will automatically make its opposing sphere not possible for the species to have: adding WATER, for example, means the species will never get FIRE as a religious sphere.
[RELIGION_SPHERE:FORTRESSES] |
SPHERE_ALIGNMENT |
|
This token forces an entity to favor or disfavor particular religious spheres, causing them to acquire those spheres more often when generating a pantheon. [SPHERE_ALIGNMENT:TREES:512] |
Leadership
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|

[LEADER_TYPE:MASTER_THIEF] |
SITE_LEADER_TYPE | Template:L | Makes the minor leaders this profession, uses tileset professions.
[SITE_LEADER_TYPE:MASTER_THIEF] |
MAYOR | Settlements have a mayor. |
Behavior
Token | Arguments | Description |
---|---|---|
Template:L |
|
Sets the civ's view of certain behaviors, from capital punishment to completely acceptable. This also causes the civ to look upon opposing ethics with disfavor, if their reaction to it is opposing, and when at extremes (one ACCEPTABLE, another civ UNTHINKABLE for example) they will often go to war over it.
[ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:ACCEPTABLE] |
WILL_ACCEPT_TRIBUTE | Makes the civ accept tribute from conquered sites? Or maybe makes the civ's traders accept offered goods? | |
WANDERER, BEAST_HUNTER, SCOUT | The civ will send out these sorts of adventurers in worldgen. | |
ABUSE_BODIES | The civilization will mutilate bodies when they are the victors in history-gen warfare, such as hanging bodies from trees, putting them on spikes, and so forth. Adventurers killed in Adventurer mode will sometimes be impaled on spikes wherever they died, with or without this token, and regardless of whether they actually antagonized the townspeople. | |
ACTIVE_SEASON | season | the season the civ is most active and will trade, interact with you, and/or invade. While only one friendly non-dwarven civ can be active per season, both dwarves and another civ can be active in autumn. Including the dwarves, you can have five active civs trading with you. Civs can have multiple season entries.
[ACTIVE_SEASON:AUTUMN] |
AMBUSHER | When invading sneaks around and shoots at straggling members of your society. They will spawn on the edge of the map and will only be visible when one of their party are spotted; this can be quite dangerous to undefended trade depots. | |
AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE | Will not attack wildlife, and will not be attacked by them, even if you have them in your party. This can be somewhat disconcerting when attacked by bears in the forest and your elven ally sits back and does nothing. | |
BABYSNATCHER | Sends thieves to steal babies. Also sends ambush parties to harass your civilization. Without this tag enemy civs will only siege, and will siege as early as they would otherwise babysnatch. This can happen as early as the first year of the fort! In addition, babysnatcher civs will snatch children during history gen, allowing them to become part of the civ if they do not escape. | |
DIPLOMAT | Sends diplomats to come and talk to you. Currentlyv0.28.181.40d this only amounts to a noble visiting and complementing your fortress. | |
DIPLOMAT_BODYGUARDS | Diplomats have bodyguards. This currentlyv0.28.181.40d has no effect - in previous versions, diplomats would be escorted by several soldiers. | |
INVADERS_IGNORE_NEUTRALS | ||
ITEM_THIEF | Sends thieves to steal items. This will also occur in history generation, and thieves will have the "thief" profession. Items stolen in history gen will be scattered around that creature's home. | |
MERCHANT_BODYGUARDS | Merchants have bodyguards and wagons. Wagons allow for a lot more variety in their goods. | |
MERCHANT_NOBILITY | Civ has a merchant prince. This token also appears to cause trade negotiations to take place. | |
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION | level | 0 to 5, civ will come to site once population at site has reached that level. Evidence suggests this trigger only works for friendly races. |
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION | level | 0 to 5, civ will come to site once created wealth has reached that level |
PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE | level | 0 to 5, civ will come to site once exported goods has reached that level |
SIEGER | Will wait around at the edge of your map for a month or two, before charging. | |
SKULKING | This makes the severity of attacks depend on the extent of item/baby thievery rather than the passage of time. | |
TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY | Makes the entity angry if you cut down too many trees. They will send a warning first. |
