Soooo, I haven't played any of the new fortress modes since right before the addition of libraries.  Working taverns and human visitors are a rumor to  me, and the idea that I shouldnt murder every human and goblin that stumbles in is a silly proposition to me.

My last real attempt to play was . . . this

And I mean, this is so old that we embarked on a tomb complex and murdered an olm-man vampire into a human war.  Speaking of, can we diplomatically resolve vampire liaisons or  diplomats?



Any way.  What changes in my first new fort?  Can I play the new versions of the game as if it were 34.11?

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Honestly, a LOT has changed since 34.11. So much that I should probably leave it to someone else to explain it all.

well, the caravan arc is done.
and the army arc has started.

Not that the game is really being developed in terms of "arcs" anymore, except in larger-scale terms (like the myth & magic arc).

true, I was just saying the caravan arc because I feel this guy is familiar with the old definition arcs instead of our current definition of arcs being
huge, game changing additions.

Dwarfs got a whole wheel (134 spokes?) of emotions that pretty much negated tantrum spirals.

Elves become overpowered due to 1 tile = 1 log trees became multi-tile tress = elfloads of logs that if it falls on your dwarf, it can maim and kill, as well as punch holes in your constructed ceiling / floors but that last part was patched.  But the elves themselves are just the same wimps. it's their tree-kin that got buffed. 

Locations replaced the meeting hall / dinning room to provide social interactions: Taverns, Temples, Library, and now maybe Museums are set as meeting zones that satisfy certain emotional needs.  Green text is optional need while idle; purple text is must need disregarding other labors or military commands. 

With taverns, you get visitors, including animal-man who may petition to "reside" in your fort, and then to become a "citizen" of your fort where they can do any dorf labor.   Mercenary visitors can be included in as squad members that is captained by a current citizen of the fortress. 

Scholars may visit and write books or steal book; or you can assign your own citizen to be a useless scholar to write a book.  Scribes you assign copy books in. 

Temples can be dedicated to specific deities; and upon toppling statues can get the toppler cursed with vampirism, or lychantrophy. 

Sieging army now comes from existing world population instead of our of the void; which then adds issues to the army's pathing to sieging your fort in a regular and consistent manner; or worse, lack of sieges. 

Now, the latest is artifacts. Where you can raid places in the world, stealing stuff (mostly books) and can piss off other civs to declare war.  Sometimes your raiding part gets captured, die, or just get lost and never to return.

Also, weapons in weapon traps now degrade and cause crashes. Or was that patched?

The weapon trap crash was fixed in version 0.44.01 - weapons still break, though I'm not sure what happens to the trap when that happens (it might continue working without it, or it might just deconstruct).

I think no one has tested it. I think it was fixed but no one tested it because everyone is too paranoid that once the weapon breaks the game will still crash

[Shadowdragon00]

Well with new update we can now rade other civilizations!And kick those elves buts!

Can confirm that it deconstructs.

What's odd is that I've gotten all of the weapons back sometimes when it deconstructs. Almost like the mechanism is wearing out.
