Pangolfort

This mod replaces the default "pangolin people" with Pangols, a custom, playable civilized race.



Pangols are a race of free-spirited pangolin people with metallic coppery scales. Larger than dwarves and shorter but broader than humans, their metal scales and claws give them a bit of an edge in combat, though they prefer to avoid it when possible. They hail from forested swamplands, and are natural swimmers and climbers. They tend to build tightly-clustered jumbles of wooden buildings around trees and/or on timbers sunk into the swamp mud, which they defend with bows and polehammers. They are perseverant, friendly, peaceful, and joyful, but don’t much stand for decorum, pride, or ambition.

• Their scales provide some protection, modesty & warmth and make many types of clothing difficult to wear, so they have a reduced list of clothing and armor options.
  
• They have their own language for naming things, distinct from the existing ones.

Though they can brew and drink all the standard alcohols, they gain much more benefit from:


Process ores (including cinnabar and cobaltite) at a mill or a quern to produce Orebrew, a metallic slurry that gives Pangols the nutrients they need for their metallic scales to heal. In lower metal-frequency worlds, this is sure to keep you digging.

The orebrew reaction works similarly to most stonecrafting; you can use the magnifying glass to tell it what ore to use. Given the value of ores, you may want to be a bit more aggressive in choosing what gets drunk and what gets smelted.

Orebrews are stockpiled under "Drink (plant)".


Combine lye with other materials to brew poisons with various effects at the new Alchemist laboratory. Apply them to ammo in the same place.

• Like pangolins as much as I do
  
• Want a slightly easier experience without just disabling features
  
  • They definitely hold up a bit better than dwarves in combat (metal scales will do that)
    
  • They're just a bit slower to get grumpy
    
  • Their nobles are less demanding
    
  • However, they do move slightly slower
• Want a slightly harder experience - play as dwarves, pick a fight with your Pangol neighbors!
  
• Just want to try something slightly different

• Custom livestock
  
• Reworking poison recipes & balance
  
• Other balance, revisions, etc as needed
