I can just ask people where things are and they'll either tell me or guide me. Conversation is my favorite feature so far. It feels a lot more organic than it used to be. Press H to grab things.

I kept getting this response when searching for a dragon for my quest. The cave was merely on the other side of a mountain range. I wish they NPCs would just say that rather than "inaccessible".

Wouldn't have a clue. On my return to civilization I was about to climb a tree to cross a chasm when I was attacked by a grasshopper woman, then dodged into the chasm.

Speaking of titans, how do you find them? NPCs only ever give me directions to a zone, not a site. Do I just run around until it ambushes me or what? After I got tired of searching for a titan on one of my adventurers, I went to a hill dwarf town and found a drinking hillock full of a couple dozen dwarven drunks. I was yelling at them all to surrender when one of them got pissed off (which was my goal) and punched me in the head, knocking me out instantly through my bronze helm. About six others proceeded to descend upon me and start wailing on me. About 30 real-life seconds and dozens of pages of [MORE] later, I succumbed to their drunken fists.

I love that historical figures straight up eat each other in some lunatic display of death-metal oneupmanship. I had one world with a human warlord who devoured like sixty people over the course of his extremely violent life.

scamtank posted:What a time you should ask - I've actually just finished porting over/trimming the non-working fat from Lepertank. The string patcher's table doesn't have nearly all of the new tokens, but it seems to be safe to use. Not a lot got changed or removed, anyway. Oh, wow, thanks! Shame on you for not having a separate changelog though. I'm going through the files and reading comments one by one. Can I safely assume that wherever there's no comment, nothing has changed? Also, scamtank, you must have some kind of super-tweaked dfhack.ini, right?

The things that I didn't bother marking into every creature file were a.) switching TEETH for GENERIC_TEETH so that there's only one biting bodypart instead of four separate independent stabbing implements, b.) dummying out tendons by turning brackets into <> characters and c.) grazer and clutch size changes from ModestMod et al. But now that you brought it up and I'm poring through the files in WinMerge again, there's a bunch of things I missed, due to originally being detailed in the changelog or something. Shameful. I'll retype an updated version for your perusal.

It used to be that only elves could eat other sentient creatures, and it was the general casus belli for the other races exterminating them. I wonder what changed. In adventure mode at least I've found it a good strategy to always grab one companion in the beginning, bring them out into the wilderness, and then kill and butcher them for enough meat to last you at least two or three weeks.

Right, here is the new changelog in friendly pastebin form. Next I'll detail how exactly the dwarf positions got reshuffled. Ruling nobles from count to king, diplomats and champions are the same. The liaison is now a correspondent and the hammerer got a new superior, but they're otherwise unchanged. The generic history fodder generals, lieutenants and captains were also left as is.

Slade Spires are absolutely massive. They connect into natural cavers that connect into towers outside the spire. There are graves and prisons built into the natural caverns as well. I think I am nearing the spire; I have entered a massive open portion of the spire. I am at the bottom of the fourth large chamber.  e2  A change has finally occurred. I lost track how many chambers I went down. Probably around 12.  I have entered a new tower, I think, and stairs go up and down without reason. It's very disorienting and I'm not sure how they're supposed to fit together. e3  e4 My journey may be coming to an end soon.   e6:  Haha, I tried to jump across the chasm to get to the other side and it didn't work.

i'm still baffled as to why these succubus units in masterwork are wearing battle thongs and corsets and why their descriptions lovingly make note of how soft their breasts are, but otherwise it's a neat civ and isn't as terrifying as it could have been given that they were made by DF nerds

Here are the noble positions. Jesus, I got carried away with this. I also noticed that v0.4 has at least four positions looking to get replaced by nonexistent titles.  I'll have to fix that.

look, all i'm saying is it could have been much, much worse. let's be real here. also,hepatizon posted:Cool, now I have a concrete reason not to play Masterwork instead of just a suspicion. there's like 5 other civs to play as and they're all pretty fine. the succubus thing added in the latest update is probably the only sketchy bit out of all that masterwork lets you play with, and you can even turn off the bits that you don't care for entirely.

on the positive side, they're at least wearing pants as well. i feel like i'm prying open the trapdoor to some decrepit old basement filled with possibly dangerous and gross things but from perusing the included manual as well it doesn't look much more sycophantic that normal dwarf fortress play

Meph is just the messenger, yeah. I can legit see why the civ was included in Masterwork, since sketchy bits aside it's technically well-made. Pretty much falls into the category of 'lots of extra bloat that may or may not be a good thing for you' like most everything else in the bundle. If anything, hate on the weird dude putting it together like scamtank pointed out.
