Right now I'm frantically trying to make a clothing industry in my latest fort(34.05) so I can anticipate and prevent a tantrum spiral when 34.06 comes out.

Hmmm, when was the last time we had a first number change that didn't take a year and a half to do?

2008, from 0.27.176.38c (February 24th) to 0.28.181.39a (July 13th). 139 days.

I realize that I'm a couple weeks behind the curb here, but I would like to see a Dungeon Master again.  Not THE dungeon master (who was useless and a source of buggyness) but someone with the same title who is somehow integrated into the (awesome-sounding) new animal training system and possibly other things.  Preferably a noble who is useful and eccentric.  Perhaps someone who could kick ass in a pinch, add some color to the hum-drum life of the typical fortress. 

As long as we can tame (or try to tame, with tragic results) crazy animals with or without this noble, then why not have one, since he'd obviously no longer be game-crippling at this point?

Come on, doesn't everyone want to have a creepy dude in cloak and gloves, no shirt, wandering around the fortress?

Who knows, maybe he'll come back in the upcoming release.  I sense that Toady had a fondness for the old @$@#er.

Well that was slightly unexpected.

Irrelevance alert. ▼

It's kinda amusing how you all jumped at me, well amusing in a sort of a way, cause I am not trolling and did not plan this ahead.

Suggestion forum is here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=5.0

I know. Mine was very much not the first suggestion, and I was the first one to be called on it. But I'm not a spiteful person so I will let it go.

you're disrespecting the holy gift of the limegreen. if that kind of behavior isn't curbed, or at least kept in check, the toad might decide it's too much of a hassle to sort through all the rubbish and stop answering questions altogether.

That makes sense. I was actually thinking whether limegreen is uncalled for and whether I should post a suggestion in here, was called away, returned, and then just clicked post without rethinking. When I figured out the issue, it was too late. Unless it's prefered to retroedit, but that's worse? Kogut would appear fairly silly then.

Did you read the OP?

Now thats a crazy thing there! Whenever I go read that first post, there is more to it! It does not normally happen to me tho =/

All that said, I hold nothing against anyone except that dorf who spilt the lava into my dining hall during a lunch break. I too am waiting for another batch of responses from mister Toady! And here I wondered whether I'm the only one...

This is a void that I would love to fill.

This still sounds like a really bed pick-up line.

Seems like it was succesfull in being unique, cheeky and actually putting people in desired mindset.

Fairly good pick-up line.

Would civilian dwarves pick up armour. Will there also be an option in the orders screen allowing civilian dwarves to pick up armour. Can we set mandatory wear for dwarves?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

you can do that now, simply create squads without any assigned barracks. do not assign any weapon to woodcutters and miners

[JasonMel]

There is an interesting thread about good (as opposed to evil) biomes in the suggestion forum. The fulcrum of the discussion is the question, should good biomes be a help or a hindrance to the average fortress, or both? The thread made me wonder what plans, if any, you have for good biomes. What is your vision for what a good biome is or should be?

(Edit: By the way, thank you for your reply to my previous question! This thread is very cool.)

[PTTG??]

Frankly Good/Evil is a stand-in I think. From what I recall, the ultimate plan is for regions to have sphere associations, so you could have an area associated with war, for instance.

thats a tedious workaround that clogs up the military interface, he was asking if a uniform similar to the hunters could be put in, with the intent of telling civilians what to wear.

I'm gonna say, the answer to this is: Seems reasonable, but no timeline.

[Rip0k]

Toady, could you specify the details of your new PC? - just curious.

What new PC?

[monk12]

New devlog- apparently he's been having internet/hardware issues, which has led to a new PC. Hence the lack of devlogs and mission progress.

[MrWiggles]

Ah, okay. It wasn't loading for me.
