Something from the DF Fortress Mode thread... Apparently, creatures can climb on ceilings, but most things can't climb smoothed walls. So just keep that in mind when you build your death-pits... Or don't, for the giggles.

Being overcome by horror trains Discipline skill. Now we know what that's for, I think.

So we butcher all our animals by dropping them via chute into the dining room, which also trains the dwarves to not care.

...it seems that all those strange metals and materials are connected to a set of procedurally generated entities. "Site guardian" comes up a lot. They don't seem demonic, but the [DIVINE] tags and languages don't suggest they're exactly terrestrial either.

I created an adventurer, entered an underground cavern and spat at a troglodyte. Later, I spread a rumour about the conflict that took place between me and a troglodyte. Bystanders were heard to remark that it was inevitable. Finally I shouted a greeting to any who would listen, crashing the game, and ending my adventure.

I found a goblin camp. I snuck up and started chopping them to bits as they slept. I accidentally performed a colon removal when I slashed one's abdomen open, then slashed his guts which went flying.

Bystanders where heard to remark that it was inevitable. Finally I shouted a greeting to any who would listen, crashing the game, and ending my adventure. Next time you get a quest, try finding a group of people and screaming a request for directions/information/whereabouts related to the quest. Someone will politely respond and you'll have the option to carry out a conversation as normal, except you're just screaming the entire time. I love this loving release. E: food is also a lot more convenient to acquire in adventure mode, now. Hit "g" on any herbs/bushes you come across until you find a cabbage. Cabbage leaves are edible (duh) and you can pick a shitton of them and have plenty of salad to sustain you in your journeys. Unfortunately you'll just lick other types of leaves. Does anyone know how well fires spread to buildings and large trees? I set a bunch of fires around a huge tree and waited around, but nothing really came of it. I also tried to burn down a shop but ended up getting bored and striking up a conversation with an affable lizardperson warlord while she ran around hitting villagers with blowdarts. She seemed like a decent sort. Maybe I'll work for her. Angry Diplomat fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Jul 8, 2014 |

Ordinary citizens are now so terrified of death and mindless slaughter (as they well should be) that they'll huddle in a corner while you murder their friend, butcher the corpse and then pelt them to death with chunks of his body. "I cannot just stand by. This might require an answer." -- last known words of Girus Butteredcrafts, who just stood by.

The fight would have ended in anothrt way if the spit would have hit you, fracturing your skull and tearing your brain apart.

I have to say, it is fun doing a periodic refresh on Mantis, Toady obviously got to work 1:20 mins ago and has already fixed 10 bugs. including the talking to deity crash. My adventurer will no longer have a world destroying moment when speaking to his/her god! Shame there are 1970 outstanding ones!

In answer to someone's question some ten pages back: traditionally, after a new major release, bug fix releases arrive weekly or better until Toady gets bored of bug fixing and moves on to the next major release. This usually takes a couple months. So expect a lot of new versions really quickly for the next few months.

I found out the new verison had been released this morning, so I downloaded it and started to generate my first world. I decided to leave for a while and come back when I was finished. Exploring the world map, I noticed a distinct lack of necromancer towers ... or at least, until I found this place:

scamtank posted:Yeah, worldgen has a total tower boner right now. No idea why. The thing that gets me is the density of towers in this place compared to other regions, and by that I mean there is literally only one other tower in the world. And this isn't a small world either, its a large one. Is extreme tower density a thing as well in the new version?
