Update?
« on: August 30, 2011, 05:13:22 am »

Hey Guys,

So, ive been away from here for a while, (seems ages!) since about May time earlier this year :(

Since then i havent had time to catch up on DF at all. I was wondering if anyone could update me on if anything has happened important recently, like any updates, or when the next update is expected to be out ect.?

Many thanks!

Oh sure.

Its call Future of the Fortress thread, Dwarf Fortress Talk, and the dev blog http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/.

As for when the next release, when we'll know when he release it.

Fortress of the Fortress

I see a big Fortress in your Fortress. ;)

Sorry, made me giggle.

And the world gen errors are pretty common, yeah. But that's not too much of a problem, 2-3 regens fix it usually. :)

Nope

Quote from: devlog
Catacombs, dungeons and sewers (1,2,3) now wind their way beneath the city. Next we fill them with all sorts of monsters, including a mass of assorted night creatures! Vampires, were-beasts and armies of the living dead will terrorize adventurers and fortresses alike. These creatures can pass on their curse, condemning their victims to a half-life of suffering and dread. In the cities there will be haunted houses and vengeful ghosts, as well as powerful beings only awakened when their vast crypts are disturbed. In the evil wilderness the monsters of night will lurk behind every tree.

The new monster-type creatures will attack in fortress mode as well, as dorf stated above, but the new cities/towns will only play a role in Adv Mode right now.

Ah right, thanks! :D

Also, on another note, im still trying to learn how to understand the game, and learn to play it. So far ive managed to get to undersatnding all the menus and stuff really, and understanding most of the basics, but i cant put them into practice very well :P

My dwarfs always manage to bugger something up!
