Much more sadistic now. We can do things like imprison vampire dwarves to keep a fort permanently alive and use breedign programs to breed super poultry. Projectile weapons are now more deadly. That is just off the top of my head.

[up]More deadly than .31.25, still less broken than 40d (mostly because they still fire as slower as the former).

I still remember reading about that guy who beheaded a bronze colossus by throwing a fluffy wambler.

Toady: Stopped undead from getting werecurses — generally made animation/ghost/acquired tags count for more in targeting

Dang, no more self-cloning amoeba werebeast zombies.

A were Wolverine briefly terrorized my fort and attacked and killed a random wild wombat then vanished.

Thoughts on the current version, now that I've tried it a bit:

  • Holy crap this game moves fast. I haven't even seen my first caravan, yet already I have a nearly-complete drowning trap, a half-completed Dwarven particle accelerator, four immigrants, no dignity, and too much free time. When did these dwarves get steroids?
  • Animals get hungry now?! This is going to be awkward. Especially since most of my embark location is vertical.
  • So...skills get "rusty" if not used. Wonderful. Would have been nice to know that before embarking, but oh well, if it becomes important L=F.
  • I'm not sure if I like the current military system, but I suppose I can adjust if given time.
  • Apparently there are burrows, but I have no idea what they are or how they work.

^Clearly when the game was speed up tongue

And burrows are... Well, let's say you create 10 x 10 tile burrow. Then you order all your dwarfs to that burrow. Then the all dwarfs will go to that burrow tongue Its pretty much way to designate your military/civilian dwarfs go to certain areas/not go somewhere else.

Finally got around to building a well down in the first cavern. I sealed off the layer above to protect the area from bats and swallows and such, and I'm going to use that platform as a catapult testing range. That is, once the landing zone actually has a floor underneath it.

Apparently if you pick up weapons as a WB, you can use them. Don't tell Toady. This is too awesome to go the way of the carp and the giant sponge.

Werebeast, I assume.

Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.

Balls about in adventurer mode and you will encounter one eventually. Their curses spread pretty quickly as well, so it is pretty easy to become one by accident; I think he fixed spreading to undead, but right when 2012 came out I remember my necromancer adventurer was torn apart by his zombie limb army turning into weregorillas.

...sentences like that are why I love this game.

New version out.

[up]Like I said, one of the fixes is that undead can't be werebeasts anymore, so cutting one apart won't result in each piece regenerating into a full body.

[up][up]I tore apart an entire city by raising my own severed arm near the full moon. Since my adventurer was a werebeast, it regenerated into a whole wereelephant. It got torn to shreds by a peasant zerg rush though, but then I raise its many dismembered parts, which turned into more and more zombie clones...

Then I walked into a city during the full moon.

Everything die.

Archeron: That was brilliant.

Another update, what does this one fix? I hope it fixes the stagnant water bug. Dang it. I just got this fort under way and I had a lucky glitch and had a small shallow layer of Adamantine and crap loads of limonite.

I don't know what happened to that were wolverine that mauled the marmmots but I am suddenly a wee bit worried it is one of my dwarves.
