34.01 Small Changes
« on: February 14, 2012, 05:48:35 am »

So, apparently you can do this now in adventure mode:

 :o

What other small changes have you noticed, that weren't mentioned in the devlog or changes list?

What does that option actually do when you select it? Does it work?

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

Just genning a world: "The Fourth Age of Myth" seems new to me?

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

It seemingly makes the other person call you crazy. I'm not sure if it has a function yet... maybe I should try it on someone important?

It does seem to work if you use it on someone who's actually a night creature.

I don't know if it counts or not, but:

Quote from: file changes.txt
   world gen params
      some have been replaced, here are the new ones (might be missing some):
      NIGHT_TROLL_NUMBER -- all of the following control how many random definitions are created, if set to zero that world won't have any
      BOGEYMAN_NUMBER

Seriously Toady, now you're just outdoing yourself. Control over the generation of specific night creature types in addition to being able to define varieties via RAWs?

The whole neverending wars with yearly pillaging thing seems to have been fixed.

The wars and battles seem generally more impressive.  No more 500 combatant battles with a single severed toe as the result.

I'm just looking at 244 humans assaulting a 79-strong elf retreat.  160 dead men later, they give up, but leaving just 18 elves standing.

ZOMG - i just found a new* source of Fun:

1) Go into Legends mode
2) Open up Underground Regions
3) Go to the last region.  Note the slightly different name
4) Find one of the inhabitants who has 'escaped' and a legendary name
5) Search for the inhabitant in the Historical Figures section
6) Scroll down to the number of kills
7) Be very afraid......

* may not actually be new, but it's the first time I've seen it...

-Bandits (and presumably townsfolk though I haven't checked) now drop coin purses.
-The units screen is split up into categories making it easier to use.
-Slaves in forts
-Bowmen and bandits in general seem more deadly

That's all I can think of now but I'm sure I've seen more.

A human empire has a marksdwarf as a noble! Humans suddenly get much dwarfier in my eyes.

Human civilizations have a lot of dwarf citizens. A lot.
Also, new noble titles have been added, apparently. I've met a human high fortune and a human high incident, who were chasing a heavily injured serpent man bandit in the keep. EDIT: It's a bug, apparently.

Either humans are awesomer, or those dwarves are pozrs and prepz. And you know what I think about pozrs and prepz.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Worldgen seeds can now use letters, Minecraft-style. Awesome.

EDIT: Oh, wait, that was in the changes list. Eh, still wasn't mentioned in the devlog before the update.

Seems rather pointless. Are the seeds in hex, or base 36? Just a number, regardless.

Maybe typing in "magmaaaaa" as a seed would be amusing, though.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
