I imagine if you play adventurer you get to see some effects of it? I mean this is a new mechanic to me but I'm thinking that maybe this report on news was so huge because it was a vampire-amphibian-man envoy from the human nation, the guy from the goblin nation had a much smaller report and it was mostly about a single group conquering multiple settlements so I'm guessing I would be seeing more of these guys both on fortress and adventure mode that I will otherwise no?

half of it is names of dwarves kidnapped by goblins. every ingame story, legend or description can by safely ignored with zero consequence

Toady has crafted a world that, like the real one, simply does not care about you, the player. I think it is testament to the depth of his vision that none of the legends effect anything in game.

wait wait wait, you can ignore because there is no gameplay consequence but you can find a zombie that was a notable figure and then read up on the story of said zombie on the legends right? Also if I see a group conquering multiple settlements like I mentioned, and then this same group invade my fort and succeed I can go in adventure mode an hunt down said group right?

I never played adventure mode but I think the notables from history turning into zombies is more recent than that. But the other thing about hunting down nations, I guess exists for a while but the state of the rest of the world would be frozen while playing fortress mode so you didn't get news about a group of people conquering stuff until recently as well.

I mean, gameplay wise this only really changes the name of the people invading you or the name of the zombie, but it's slightly interesting.

Not unless they bleed somewhere and your dwarves eat it. Either they did it or you have one already.

If you figure out who you can dump them in a well and let them bleed in it -- that'll turn everyone and you won't have to worry. Downside is that new migrants are toast and your existing dwarves won't satisfy their alcohol dependence, so they'll get really slow. (A lot of people mod that out.)

Just remember, when vampires take breaks, that appears in a slightly different color on the active jobs screen, so look for that. I think it's either a darker or a lighter color than the default one. It's either teal or yellow, I can't remember which. (might be brown -- which is how DF handles dark yellow.) You'll probably want to check that pretty often. (like every couple steps. Use the period key to go frame-by-frame.)

Oh, I should clarify, it doesn't always appear in a different color. But it won't ever appear in the alternate color for non-vampires.

A form of music used for entertainment originating in The Helpful Confederacy. The rules of the form are applied by composers of individual songs. Two singers recite nonsensical words and sounds, while the music is played on a begu and two tubu. The entire performance should feel mournful.

Each singer always does the main melody.

The begu always does the main melody.

Each tubu always does the main melody.

The form has a well-defined multi-passage structure: a brief introduction, a brief passage and an additional brief passage possibly all repeated, a brief finale and a brief coda.

The introduction slows and broadens, and it is to be in whispered undertones. The passage is performed using the lastta scale and in free rhythm.

The first simple passage is extremely fast, and it is to be in whispered undertones. The passage is performed using the nek scale and in the agthreb rhythm. The passage should be composed and performed using grace notes.

The second simple passage gradually slows as it comes to an end, and it is to be loud. The passage is performed using the ramet scale and in the eman rhythm.

The finale is moderately paced, and it is to be loud. The passage is performed using the ozi scale and in the kes rhythm.

The coda is half the tempo of the last passage, and it is to be in whispered undertones. The passage is performed using the lastta scale and in the seggu rhythm.

Scales are conceived of as two chords built using a division of the perfect fourth interval into eleven notes. The tonic note is a fixed tone passed from teacher to student.

As always, the lastta hexatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named use and dik.

The use trichord is the 1st, the 4th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

The dik tetrachord is the 1st, the 2nd, the 8th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

As always, the nek hexatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named ilpi and othag.

The ilpi trichord is the 1st, the 5th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

The othag tetrachord is the 1st, the 4th, the 6th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

As always, the ramet heptatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named agtha and woge.

The agtha tetrachord is the 1st, the 4th, the 8th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

The woge tetrachord is the 1st, the 7th, the 8th and the 11th degrees of the fundamental perfect fourth division.

As always, the ozi hexatonic scale is thought of as two disjoint chords drawn from the fundamental division of the perfect fourth. These chords are named ilpi and woge.

The agthreb rhythm is made from two patterns: the shato (considered the primary) and the musda. The patterns are to be played over the same period of time, concluding together regardless of beat number.

The shato rhythm is a single line with twenty-eight beats divided into seven bars in a 4-4-4-4-4-4-4 pattern. The beats are named almef (spoken alm), onod (on), osp (osp) and arin (ar). The beat is stressed as follows:

| x x x X | x - - - | x x x X | - x - x | - - x`- | x !`x - | x - - - |

where ! marks the primary accent, X marks an accented beat, ` marks a beat as early, x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.

The musda rhythm is a single line with two beats. The beats are named uzu (spoken uz) and onaf (on). The beat is stressed as follows:

| x'x |

where ' marks a beat as late, x is a beat and | indicates a bar.

The eman rhythm is made from two patterns: the ani (considered the primary) and the ohe. The patterns are to be played over the same period of time, concluding together regardless of beat number.

The ani rhythm is a single line with two beats. The beat is stressed as follows:

| - x |

where x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.

The ohe rhythm is a single line with thirty-two beats divided into four bars in a 8-8-8-8 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:

| - - - - - x x - | - - - - - x - - | - x`- - - - - - | - x - - - - x X |

where X marks an accented beat, ` marks a beat as early, x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.

The kes rhythm is a single line with eight beats divided into four bars in a 2-2-2-2 pattern. The beats are named suku (spoken su) and rorec (ro). The beat is stressed as follows:

| - x | - x | x x | x x'|

where ' marks a beat as late, x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.

The seggu rhythm is made from two patterns: the ohe and the rostfen.

The rostfen rhythm is a single line with thirty-two beats divided into four bars in a 8-8-8-8 pattern. The beat is stressed as follows:

| - - - x'- x'- !`| - x`- - - - - - | - X x x - - x`- | - X x'- - x x x |

where ! marks the primary accent, X marks an accented beat, ` marks a beat as early, ' marks a beat as late, x is a beat, - is silent and | indicates a bar.
