Description:

An evil civilization of corrupted elves, reborn from mud – their purpose to plunder and kill. I made these to practice pixel art since I never really did it before. They were originally meant to resemble LOTR orcs, but the designs started to deviate away from those. The orcs are made to be hostile to dwarves but there is a chance for any variant of orc to show up in taverns or even join a fortress.

The mod includes:

• 14 different castes of orcs with separate graphics.
• Unique light and heavy armor graphic sets for all orcs types.
• 5 Different skin color variants for each type of orc (white being the rarest).
• Standard clothing graphic sets (no torso-wear, since orcs like to go shirtless)
• Unique stats for different orcs that make some weaker than dwarves and others extremely strong.
• Unique orc interaction attacks like powerful punches and summoning skills. Many interactions have a drawback to the user that leaves them vulnerable after use.
• Added black speech language.
• An orc government system where the biggest orc is ruler.
• Black orc blood.

• Orcs are different sizes and are meant to have different sizes of clothing, however, DF doesn’t allow a race to have different clothing sizes so all orcs wear medium clothes.
• Orcs are meant to be sex-less and born from mud, but DF doesn’t allow races to reproduce asexually. I arbitrarily made some orcs male and others female. Orcs are not meant to have any genitals or secondary sex characteristics.
• A lot of the things I wanted to do with this mod are not currently possible to do in Dwarf Fortress. I plan on updating it when more of the options become available and when Adventure mode comes out.
• The graphics scripts used are derived from SEEU’s mods.
• The orc language was generated by Talvieno’s language generator.

Any feedback is appreciated! Please report and bugs / crashes that you come across, or let me know if any of the graphics just don’t look right and you think I need to give them another go! If your feedback leads to an update, I will credit you below.

• Putnam & Miclee (helping solve a crash caused by graphics scripts.)
• professor pwnage (mentioned orc civs dying out in long generated histories.)
