DWARF FORTRESS LANGUAGE CHANGE MOD

Creating a language based on this mod is not difficult, but if you need help, feel free to throw me a message at the forum.

DWARF FORTRESS LANGUAGE CHANGE MODS

The mod replaces the vocabulary of vanilla, so any mods that add new translations based on vanilla vocabulary (such as new races) will cause problems. This mod should be loaded before any mod that makes changes to entities. This change aims to make the different cultures feel much more distinct. Human language is a WIP and currently they are using dwarven language as a placeholder. The new dwarven language is inspired by Old Norse, the language of Elves by Tolkien’s Elvish languages and goblin language by Tolkien’s black speech.

The mod also revamps the game’s languages (or ”translations”) to make them more unique and recognizable. For instance, an Elven kingdom will tend to have a poetic name such as Burniel Loril ”the Pact of Songs” while a Goblin civilization will have a menacing one such as Sultozh ”the Gruesome Empire”. Civilizations will have names that sound like states and kingdoms, taverns will have more typical tavern names and you will be able to easily determine whether you are looking at an Elven or Goblin entity just by looking at the name. I have gone to great lengths to make names fit the context they appear in. With this mod, you will encounter forgotten beasts with menacing epithets such as ”the Child of Night” or ”the Venom of Reckoning” and your dwarves will create great artifacts with names such as ”the March of Heroes” or ”the Defender of Creation”. Instead of vanilla’s ”the X of X” naming scheme, where most words could appear in both positions making for very random outcomes, this mod uses a ”X of Y” approach, where X tends to be an object or symbol, and Y tends to be a more abstract concept. I have also changed how words are used in epithets. Instead of dwarves and settlements having random names like Clasptreaties, Girdergrove and Faceearths, they will now have names such as Goldenmark, Castlecrown and Magmabury. This means that names will be more memorable and sound less like gibberish than in vanilla dwarf fortress. This mod completely revamps the vocabulary of the game, meaning that it adds new words that are aimed to fit the fantasy setting and specific context in which they appear. It does this through a complete rework of the game’s vocabulary and symbols as well as adding more distinct translations for the languages of the dwarves, elves and goblins (humans are still WIP).

DWARF FORTRESS LANGUAGE CHANGE HOW TO

Might be not up to date, but still provide tips on how to manage your fort.Say goodbye to Astesh Clasptreaties and all the other randomness of vanilla Dwarf Fortress naming schemes! This mod aims to make names less gibberish, more memorable and more distinct and epic-sounding. It has a ton of useful information on how to deal with FPS death. When everything else fails check out Dwarf Fortress wiki. Dwarfs like to crawl over eachother in 1 tile big staircase.

Ramps used to be more FPS friendly than staircases. Try for 2 - 3 tile wide ones so dwarfs and animals don't need to walk over each other back or crawl under other people legs.

DWARF FORTRESS LANGUAGE CHANGE SKIN

If cats give some bones and skin make some trade goods out of them.ĭon't know about this version, but old one also had issues when corridoors were too narrow. Keep a breeding pair somewhere (male and female kittens) or just buy a new set of cats once the old ones die. Trim the cat population, 1 cat per food stockpile is plenty to kill all the vermins. Old version when doors were set to not pet passable it could cause FPS death because turkey wanted to walk free around the fort or reach meeting zone. Maybe there is a path somewhere that an entity wants to take, but is blocked by locked doors or other object.
