The work on night creatures are finished for now or do you intend to return to them soon? For example, finishing randomly-generated vampires and integrating werewolves back to society.

Randomly generated vampires were one of the features I was most eager to get, and I was extremely disappointed they didn't make in into the release. Necromancer's and mummies I think are alright. I would like to see the Night hags/trolls to abducting people from your fortresses.

Also, are current vampire arrival frequencies intended?

Now that the initial novelty has worn off, I've seen more than a couple complaints that dealing with vampires with any kind of regularity is more of a pain in the ass than particularly fun.

Of course there's also the thing where they're easily identifiable because they've been kicked out of a ton of places, haven't had a drink in ages, and wear a billion trophies. That hinders the gameplay a bit too. But I think frequency is the real problem. This is purely Dwarf mode, if that wasn't clear.

The gameplay mechanic of vampires in fortress is one of the best mechanics introduced to Fortress mode since the initial release, but I can see it becoming a hassle if two or more vampire arrive in each migrant wave.

Why did you post this in two different threads?

Ah, sorry, I assumed nobody would notice it since there were enough posts for page change ^^; I've experienced that on on other forums a lot, last post in page is usually not read by anyone for some reason...

Something about this http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=5137 I guess.

Are the files in the raw/interaction examples folder used by the game or are they just there so we can see how hardcoded interactions work?

They are not used by the game, they are just examples.

Are there currently any plans to make Dwarf Fortress large-address-aware? A mod is currently available to do so, and the response has been largely positive in that it allows history to work for a significantly greater time. It would be great to see that make its way into default DF.

Alternately: a 64bit version

"Currently available to do so" is a hyperlink. It's just invisible.

In the next release "dwarves train on archery targets again".

As they did in .28? Or was this feature even more broken in .34 than it was in .31, and they don't train archery at all in the current version (which they did in .31, in somewhat random manner but nonetheless)? I have had too little time to play the new version to try out archery practise yet :(

If it's going to work as well as it did in .28, another of my (least-)favorite bugs will be gone.

vampires won't try to pin crimes on animals

Shame ... and I thought that I had vampire rabbits.

Nobody's going to get this.
