So, new stuff. Awesome. First thing you did in the new release and your thoughts when you saw the new bits and pieces?

[Lucien]

I'm loving the new features, but the improved world gen is really making my computer chug. I used to be able to hit at least the year 150 before seeing a slowdown, but now it's starting to lock up my machine around 75.

Yeah. I'm noticing the same issues too...

I'm probably going to wait a bit both for bugfix waves and because I just made some new embarks in the old version.

I have to say though, "demons masquerading as gods will try a little harder" is somehow hilarious to me.

[King DZA]

Wow, The first world genned I in the new version has the same name as the first world I genned in the previous version.

[Eric Blank]

First thing I did was try to generate a world. DF crashed without an excuse before year 200. Of course it was a large world and was becoming incredibly slow, so I should have expected that.

[NRDL]

Made a world, went adventure, died, made a new adventurer, got a quest to kill a werebeast, who lived in the very same city I got the quest from.  I decided to go on a quest to kill a dingo.  Searching every person for the name Canar is a bit too much hassle. 

So yeah, I'm loving it

First world "The Planets of Omen", and were in "The Age of Elves". Hmm...

Legends mode is a good place to start; I'm reading about the necromancer Hethre Crazypastimes at the moment.

A flock of ravens is flying around my map right now. So cool! Also, my doctor got pushed into a murky pool, and immediately climbed out! Today is a good day.

definately an improvement, lots and lots fewer drowning related deaths. On the other hand, gobbos probably know this trick now too.

[jamesadelong]

Flock of ravens huh? Yeah... we HAD a flock of ravens but we embarked in an area with no chance of farming and as the only dworfs of their kind, so no caravans. So my marksdworf had some target practice and the rest of my guys had food.

Just noticed the "acquired power" and "natural ability" part of the knapping screen.  What do these do? 

[Scelly9]

  Mah first new version! Happay time. So, yeah the world gen is slowed down a lot. Had to stop it at 75 years because my computer nearly died. I shall now go play adventure mode!

ZEE CAPTAIN!

Pretty sure natural ability is for things like breath attacks. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that acquired powers are gained by reading the books at necromancer towers, and can be used from that menu once they're gained.
