Okay I have a military question. right now I already a commander who leads a squad and then another squad. I want to make another squad, but I can't find the option. When I'm in the positions screen and I'm on the 2nd squad, it gives me the option to "l: create squad appointed by this leader". In addition I only have a commander in the nobles screen and an open position for a militia captain. Do I need to promote someone from my second squad to this position?

Oh, okay, now that I'm looking at it I just realized that the second squad is the captain of the guard's squad. I was planning on making them axedwarves. But does this mean they're going to be slicing everyone's heads off if they misbehave? Right now they only have wooden axes. I may have to redo this.

I thought larger embarks were one of the many processor-bound limits, though, especially since the addition of blooming trees.

A 64bit DF will allow you to allocate more memory for more stuff that your CPU won't be able to calculate!

Anyway, I recently upgraded to an i5 6600k, and I'm shocked to be getting playable framerates on a 5×5 embark with 150 dorfs even after a decade of game time and with every dorf hoarding clothing like a madman. On my previous computer I probably wouldn't have been able to get past 2FPS with the same settings!

You have to add a new commander on the Nobles screen before you can create a new squad.

We've posted the new development page with artifacts and myths. This is the culmination of years of work on Dwarf Fortress and our other projects which never saw the light of day. We've been playing around with magic systems for years, ever since DRAGSLAY.BAS, and are looking forward to finally being able to place the dwarves into a more meaningful, mysterious and exciting universe!

Toady One posted:

We'll start in on an artifact release once the 64-bit versions are complete. We might get away with one release there, but the myth/magic dev items will almost certainly happen over multiple releases, and we won't get to everything on the first pass.

Work on the 64-bit version is ongoing. So far we have a windows test version and a linux test version. Here's [urlhttp://bay12games.com/dwarves/redist/df_sdl_32_wintest.zip]a 32-bit Windows version[/url] that should clean up some DLL issues. We should be almost through with Mac as well -- just need to clean up the sound library situation.

I'm thinking about getting back into this game, but I now have a 1440p monitor instead of the 1080p one I was using before, and the tiles were already giving me slight eyestrain. I haven't checked the forums, are there larger graphical tilesets now? Something like.. I don't know, 24 or 32pix or even larger? I was using Phoebus before but it's only 16x16 and doesn't look like it's being updated anymore either.

Up to 0.43 now, actually. And it should work.

There are a couple larger graphic sets on the forums. 24x24 is most common, but there's a 32x32 work-in-progress (may be stalled?) and a 64x64 ASCII.

The list is absolutely extraordinary. The amazing thing is that you can genuinely imagine him just sitting down and doing it.

Unrelatedly... is there a way to make water not be transparent in TWBT? I love the multilevel mapping but seeing all the junk at the bottom of my beautiful circular moat irritates me too much to use it.

Considering that's how most animals work in the real world, I'd be concerned if that wasn't the case.

As long as he doesn't use any strange memory management tricks or bitpacking things in weird places, doesn't use assembly code, and all his dependencies (mainly SDL) are already 64 bit compatible, it's as simple as pushing a different button and it just works. SDL does support 64 bit, and Tarn isn't one to do any of the other things, so there probably won't be any trouble.

Many farm animals, yes. But some animals form lifelong mating pairs, which seems like the sort of thing that might be implemented.

Am I correct that the best way to get to the adamantine veins in lava is to make a bunch of channels and turn the area into lakes so they drop water onto the lava and turn it into obsidian, which lets me dig around the outsides? It doesn't look like I can pump lava out of the lava sea since it looks like it covers most of the map including edges, unless there is a faster trick I don't know about.

Same. I've been playing this game just under 10 years. I think I started playing when the first alpha was released actually. I was about 13 at the time and had just started lurking on SA.

I'm 23 now (24 soon) and completely amazed by the progress toady has made in 10 years and how fun the game still is to play 9 years later.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
Toady is the strongest supporting evidence we have for the theory that we exist within a simulation.

I think the last time I really played in any depth was about six or seven years ago. I understand there have been some pretty goddamn significant changes since then. I'm probably going to dive in blind with a new fortress this weekend and I really hope that doing so recaptures some of that original magic and ends in as catastrophic a failure as my first fort did all those years ago.

Is there any reason to speak of not to use the Lazy Newb Pack? I saw its DF version is a few months out of date, but is it a big enough deal to go to the trouble of assembling stuff myself instead?

The starter pack guy waits for a stable DFHack release for official stuff, but he posts alphas in the thread if you read from the end. May be one for 43.03 now that TWBT has an alpha but I can't check right now.
