If animal people are going to have a valid place in society, will it be immoral to use thrips men as training fodder for recruits?

I've been capturing hostile animal people and breeding friendly offspring to serve as a scout/screen force for many versions now.

TOADS TOAD TOASDS COMING OUTTA THE WALLSToady One posted:The last major thing I need to do in adventure mode is handle how the player interacts with all the art stuff. All of the adventure tavern-goers do fort-mode dancing and storytelling and music and so on, and we need a few indicators there so you know more about what's going on. We need the adventurer to be able to do all of these things themselves, and if you start an activity, other people need to join in or otherwise appreciate what's going on. We're also going to do a little bit with composition, though as we've said before, we're not doing much with it for this time. It would also be good for the sun to diminish and go into the west, for a few months at least... it'll be slow-going while records continue being set.

Also naturally the timbre and style and so on of the ambient music playing, their opinions of nearby art pieces, etc. need to affect all interactions your adventurer has with NPCs.

The drunkenness syndrome impacts NPC personality traits, so it's only natural that music can do the same. Mod all the brakes off and then be able to incite people to riot by singing the song that cranks [PRONE_TO_RAGE] all the way up. Be a magic bard and clear away bandits by cranking dudes' sadness so high they slip into suicidal melancholy. e: What I really hope is that he ports the "accumulation" of the drunkenness syndrome back towards the secretions of forgotten beasts so they will only be a mild annoyance when on the ground unless someone stands in it for a long period.

One thing I love about Runequest is how duck men will always get loving smashed on ale, godquest-worship their savage quacking ancesters and just go on a 500-mile gently caress poo poo up spree with axes and swords <3

The folks on Bay12 are getting close to figuring out the secret of causing wounds exclusively through DFHack. Those will be some mighty interesting scripts.

Is there a google doc with all the new features on it like there was for the last release? I haven't been paying attention to this one's development but just skimming the devlog it seems like there's a lot of major changes.

Taverns, temples and fortress visitors, festivals, entertainment and the arts, libraries, scribes and the spread of discoveries, personality needs, working mugs and extension of the syndrome system to account for drunkenness come to mind.

hey df thread, it's time for my semi-annual question: are armies still busted so that you cannot prevent your dwarves from becoming suicidally depressed while in the service?

DFHack got that bug all the way in 2012, first through a binary patch and then with tweak patrol-duty, but Toady himself marked that one as fixed for v0.40.05. Probably thanks to Quietust's binary digging.

Attack speed and movement speed are seperate things, things can walk/run/sprint, things can jump and climb. Your 1 z tile wide and tall walls won't cut it anymore. Gobbos can and will jump over pits, climb trees and jump over your walls, etc. Shooting bolts is calculated correctly (more correctly?). Dwarves have emotions; a scrub just drafted into the military will probably run the hell away from a forgotten beast at the first sign of trouble.

That's it, I'm officially out of patience for the new release. How does he manage to delay it so consistently, every time? You think you've finally got your expectations set and he scope creeps and drags it out longer than even that.
