War Possums

Description
This mod allows your dwarves to train possums in the art of war.

Also changes some flavor text relating to possums being marsupials and changes their young to joeys instead of babies.

Live fast, eat trash

UPDATE

Possums are now considered common domestic animals so you can embark with them instead of trying to find them through normal gameplay. This is how my test version of the mod was set up because it could take literal in game decades to even see a single possum.

Due to how Dwarf Fortress mods work you will need to make some manual changes to update the mod. To overwrite the old version you have to go into your installed mods folder
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\data\installed_mods)
and delete the war possums file

you may also need to manually delete the old mod file located in
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dwarf Fortress\mods)

Hey, I was looking at your mod and noticed it could be made more compatible/efficient by using some modding techniques that just replace the necessary tags in the original raw, without cutting and recreating the creature. It will make the mod smaller, load faster, better and remove any compatibility issues with other mods that also make changes to the opossum and should make it really easy to avoid bugs and what not. Feel free to use it in your mod if you'd be inclined to do so: https://pastebin.com/u6jCx0Ru
