I have friends that I am naming dorfs after, and writing up the combat and goings on as AARs (After Action Reports.) Is there a way to log the injuries in combat so that a skirmish doesn't take me nearly three hours to play through, stopping every 5 or 10 ticks and checking everyone for wounds?

Someone in IRC mentioned Dwarf Companion, but on reading up on it, couldn't see where it would log combats.

thanks!

Yep, though I wish there was a utility to get it now. There used to be for one of the older 40d versions I think, but not 40d16 or 40d17.

DwarfCompanion can do that, I think, but you have to be using 40d. None of the later versions are compatible, Toady changed the memory layout or something.

I can't wait to be spammed by messages! Urist McWrestler grabs Goblin McLasher by the fourth finger, left hand with his second toe, right foot.

I think there will be a screen where the messages will be stored. An icon will appear when new messages are made.

Yeah, it's on a different announcement screen. Which is another improvement on the current utilities, I believe.

Guys, you're just making me even more excited for the next release. $:-\$

Once it comes out, the long wait will be worth it.
