The Shadeborn, a civilization mod

This mod will add a new dark fortress civilization to invade your fort, composed of creatures that come in eight favours of punishment.

With a culture designed to make them love their own people and hate everyone else, the shadeborn are meant to be aggressive and warlike and thus likely to be your enemy and invade you in fortress mode.

Each of the eight castes has a special power that makes them a threat of their own. Only they come to your fort as an army, making them, in theory, a hardmode version of goblins. To make them easy to recognize in battle, each has an animal feature makes them stand out visually.

• Vixen (formerly Vexer): Sporting a big tail, they can curse their enemies and reduce their effectiveness in combat.
  
• Cottontail (formerly Buffer): Recognizable by their big ears, they can bless and heal their allies. Almost named them Lapins before I looked up the definition (gelded rabbit), should have named them Lagomorphs, went with Cottontails.
  
• Winged (formerly Flier): They can fly, and they can throw proyectiles. Recognizable by their wings.
  
• Moth (formerly Poisoner): With large bug wings, they can secrete poisons and cause illness to their enemies.
  
• Shelled (formerly Fury): With a shelled body, they are supernaturally adept at combat.
  
• Antlered (formerly Sorcerer): They can use strong magics in combat. Their heads are adorned by antlers.
  
• Finned (formerly Conjurer): Can summon dark sprites to help them in combat, that can evolve into a stronger form.
  
• Horned (formerly Evoker): Transforms into a beast of shadow, sacrificing the advantages of armor and weapons for power. They don't have much to make them recognizable when not transformed, but they don't really need it.

While not playable in fortress mode, mostly because they would break it in multiple ways (primarily by flying), they can be played in adventure mode. Their abilities are fully functional in the current version, if sometimes janky because Dwarf Fortress.


Frankly, these guys are not very balanced. But you can deny them most or all of their abilities by targeting the gemstones that adorn their bodies, so they have a weakness.

I recommend this mod if you want to add a new sieger that offers extra challenges, if you want a playable race with baked in magic for adventure mode, or if you are like me and like to pile up every functioning civilization mod you can find into your world.

Also I changed the internal name from DARKLING to SHADEBORN to make this mod compatible with Tobb's Darkling mod.
