[39d] Small problems in and from history
« on: July 23, 2008, 02:56:18 pm »

The big one: in fortress mode when embarking on top of a goblin fortress, weird things happen. In 39b or c, a dark fortress under dwarf rule started a civil war (dwarves vs. goblins) as soon as we arrived. In 39d, thinking of this bug, I had a world where goblins had the red war comment on embark screen and were independent. No civil war, but all the goblins, dwarves and humans are shown as friendly and are friendly. Also, one of inhabitants is a dwarven pikemaster wielding a pike.

Worldgen parameters follow:

Also, about terrain editor, please allow lower TEMP values than 25 when painting, copy, find&replace and copy is cumbersome.

Minor historical/worldgen things:

* when a civilization attacks kobolds, in their legends-civilizations screen it says they were led by unknown creature, when they offered no resistance (no culling of historical figures).

* when culling of hist figs is on, in battle view it often says one side were unknown creatures, while showing their races only in the detailed events of the battle

* the beautiful new site finder (big thanks) can't be interrupted (this can become annoying in large worlds) and doesn't take the default fortress size from init.txt, defaulting to 6:6 instead.

edit: tested on another world, demons are friendly, too, and they wear large clothes (not a bug?). And spelling mistake: Superdemonicly tough.

Can the minimum temp not be set lower than 25 in the parameters screen?  Those params should control the paint values.

It doesn't handle refugees right now, so the gobs fighting the dwarves were probably a goblin refugee group it placed back in the tower.  Embarking on top of goblin sites will be strange for a while, and you'll get friendly units most of the time.

Thanks again, didn't know that. I'm feeling really stupid right now.

He he, it's not as if that or anything else about the game is self-evident.
