When surrender is implemented, are the only options available going to be interrogate then kill/spare?
Would be cool to have a use for that iron chain to bring them to the local lawgiver.

Hrm...
There nothing explicit in the Dev Notes, however it does state that you'll be able to Surrender in Adventure Mode, and to stay in 'Surrender Mode' you have to follow orders, including Follow and Drop your weapon.

So its defiantly planned for PCs, which probably means, that its also planned for NPCs.

Love the idea!  I know we have squad leaders but they seem kinda useless to me at the moment. This would be a superb way of kicking of recruit training (without danger rooms) methinks!

I love the new stuff and psychology  . I hope that secondary thoughts play a role. Like a woman fighting for her children instead of running away or a thief fighting over his bag of money etc.

I hope not.
Baby shields are hilarious.

Tying people up is on the dev list, but it was grouped under "the adventurer is breaking into a place" rather than "capturing and interrogating villians". IMO it would be necessary if you want to bring someone in, but you have to sleep and don't want them shanking you or running off during the night.

[MrWiggles]

I agree that the tools needed to bring folks to  location against their will, are there, even if its not explicitly stated.

Really enjoying these devlogs. Madness and Morale have always been two things I've liked in simulation games, we're getting one and possibly the other (PTS/personality changes).

"...should generally make combat a bit more vibrant. I'm going to try not to get too carried away with all of the possibilities..."

Oh please please get carried away.

"...should generally make combat a bit more vibrant. I'm going to try not to get too carried away with all of the possibilities..."

Oh please please get carried away.

I'll second this.
Tangents are where the magic happens.

im ambivalent on this, if he gets carried away, next update will be awesome.... when we see it in a year and a half. 

however, I am most excited about this

the split between movement/combat actions as well as reaction moments.

finally, dwarf fortress takes another giant step away from traditional roguelike combat, adventure mode is sounding more fun by the day, and the fortress mode implications are going to be shocking.

I love DF feature creep.

[Headhanger]

Every devlog update gives me a nerdgasm. This one was no different.

Separating movement and attacks? My anticipation is palpable.

[Footkerchief]

Next version is sounding better and better.  Adv. Mode has been blossoming in so many directions since I first started playing.

[CaptainArchmage]

Now that multiple attacks can be used at the same time, does that mean weapon traps will attack with all their weapons at the same time now? Are we going to get riders and riding in the new release given that you've mentioned that on the devblog, or is this still just regarding fortress mode invasions?

[Knight Otu]

Combat flow and mounts (move/attack split) are still part of the Hero Role on the Dev page, so it's not like it's a big departure from the Hero Role stuff.
