Masterwork:Orc Fortress
This article relates to the Orc Fortress gameplay mode of the ☼MASTERWORK☼ mod.
Orc Fortress for ☼MASTERWORK☼ (MDF) is a plug-in which allows you to control a tribe of proud, savage Orcish survivors as they stand against invading forces of the Dwarves, Elves, Humans, and Drow. These enemies make use of treacherous modes of war such as Siege and Ambush and will begin their assaults usually as soon as the second year after a fort's settlement.
The orcs have access to all the vanilla Dwarf Fortress buildings. Orcish workshops include tribal and artisinal crafting, mass production factories and pits of industry. There are also a wide assortment of buildings that Orcs can only access after trading for the technology, or pillaging it from their enemies using the Raiders' Drydock.
Orcs are divided into castes with different physical characteristics, including the common Orc, agile Snaga, powerful Uruk, and magic-adept Dreamwalker castes. Occasionally Orcs are born into specialist castes including the Artisan, Corsair, and Ronin.
