A couple questions:

First, is it still possible to embark on an island that your dwarven civ doesn't normally have access to?

And second, is it possible to fast-travel through tunnels?

[Putnam]

1. Embarking hasn't changed this release AFAIK.
2. Yes.

I know your companions are supposed to be able to cross rivers, but it's pretty easy to lose companions while crossing a river, whether its because they didn't cross fast enough before they got offloaded, they got distracted by wildlife, or a combination of both.

Basically I'm just wondering if Toady One tested that situation. Though if they ignore rivers in army mode, I guess it shouldn't be a problem

I'm just picturing an adventurer who managed to recruit a few hundred Ant Woman soldiers then tries to out-run them.  Once far enough behind, they obligingly revert into an army.  At a point where they must be trying to cross a river, the adventurer doubles back to look.  Just image a huge mass of giant ants forming a living bridge to get over a river...

Can an adventurer irritate a faction sufficiently that even when it offloads into an army, that army decided to pursue the adventurer across the world map?

According to the 2/17/2014 Devblog post:

So you could throw a head into a room to freak people out, which is cool, but you can also throw a single tooth, and it would work too, if the person is dead. And if you drop a tooth from a bar fight in a different room with some relatives, nobody will care, but if you later go and kill the former owner of the tooth, then you'll hear people cry out in the distance as long as they are still on the map, since they'll suddenly recognize the tooth as belonging to somebody deceased. That's okay, as far as we need it to work for now.

Will creatures react emotionally to butchery returns as if it were a piece of a dead creature's corpse? Can I butcher a historical Giant Dingo, eat it, and throw its heart onto a table in a tavern to show everyone it is dead?

Now that people react emotionally to you killing their family, how will quests interact with this? If an townsperson's relative is a bandit, will they still give the quest to kill them? If so, how do they react if you complete it?

I'm relatively new to DF, how do you claim a site? That sounds like something I could have a lot of fun doing.

[Lolfail0009]

Site claims aren't in yet. They are in some fashion in the much anticipated DF2014.

My dwarves took the meat from two dragons and a plump helmet and a piece of cheese and turned them into a plump helmet roast. "Don't worry, it's vegetarian. It has one vegetable in it."

"Fixed a subset of migrants that had broken dreams and values."
Does that mean no more adults?

I always thought that was a feature, if my migrants didn't have broken dreams when they arrived at my fort, they certainly did soon after. :-p

[PigtailLlama]

I wonder if you can have fortresses double as insane asylums. Not that we were anyways.

You build a wall around your fort and place a Note which reads "OUTSIDE OF THE ASYLUM".

Consult Wonko the Sane whether the Note should be inside or outside of the wall.

Also cleaned up an issue causing residents to wander far away from their houses or into rooms they didn't intend to be in.

Well they definately are residents.

Tomorrow would be a fine day for a release.
