Waterbe Fortress...

...well, technically just a DF that adds Waterbe as a new civilisation. It's incomplete, but is already awesome (provided you arn't scared by a bit lot of ANSI art). It has Waterbe, and Chompers, and Coopahan. Here's a screenshot:


 The two backwards '¬' symbols are Waterbe (they are grey because they are miners). They are much faster than dwarves, and better in most other physical attributes:



Above is one of our miners, Dostust. The names still use the Dwarven language (eventually I will translate them into Waterbien), and as you can see, her last name means "Knifepurges". That's a good sign, because I programmed the Waterbe to have violent-sounding names. You can also see she is tough, which is a typical trait of Waterbe. Let's move onto a fight scene:

In the above picture is the three races I have added (Waterbe [Brown Gun], Chomper [Purple Happy Face] and Coopahan [White Asterisk]). Since this is arena mode, I have allowed them to fight. The winner here is clearly the Waterbe, but the other two didn't go down without a fight. Let's look at his injuries:

Ouch, but nothing permament. Lets try another fight. Two Waterbe with steel short swords. 3, 2, 1, fight!

The tail is cut open, but not bleeding, and the lower part of his right arm is gone. Waterbe 2 fared worse, though, with his left upper arm gone. It is an unknowable mystery what happened to the lower arm. Presumably it dissapeared to the lost sock dimension.

And that's pretty much every feature available in Waterbe Dwarf Fortress so far. Stay tuned (?) for more updates on it.
