Heh, this is sweet news.  Looks like it could be a longhaul, but the waiting will be easy knowing what's coming.  I'd love for Toady to spend the time on settlements to really make them special.  Are the elven retreats going to be like Endorian treehouses?

Am I alone in wondering what the kobold sites will look like?

What kind if features will they have, will there be nests, piles of treasure 'acquired' from other civilizations and finally will there be the kobold equivalent of cities.

I know this release will probably take a while but it should be an amazing release.

A termite mound taken over by force and a dirty rag on a stick placed out front?

I always wondered if the Ocean-biome titans you can see in Legends are actually out there wandering in the sea, and maybe in fact actually have Shrines placed somewhere out there - there's no way to go over ocean tiles in the Travel screen using modding, is there? I know Mountain tiles remain impassable even if your adventurer can fly; I assume Ocean is the same, but I wonder if that's hardcoded or can be changed. If it isn't ... I'd be tempted to take an adventurer out fast-traveling over an ocean biome and see if I don't stumble over a Titan Shrine sitting somewhere on the seafloor.

I had never thought of this... I wonder whether the <biome> titans have to have their shrines located in a particular biome. Also I think there's a way to find out where the titans have settled in legends mode, but I'm not sure how precise it is.

My idea of a fun ocean site is a "sunken wreck" or "sunken ruin". The ruin would be offshore, but not far offshore so you'd find it in a normal ocean embark. The ruin will spawn a large number of minions at times, which would proceed to f**k up your fortress and add to their numbers...

I for one just want my fortress to lift from the ground and crawl across the countryside like a giant spider at the pull of a leaver.

I'd rather have a fortress on top of some elephants that are on top of a mountain-turtle, which is on top of something.

What do you mean with Demon Sites? Just HFS or something different?

Also, does Dwarf Sites include Hill Dwarves?

I'm a little unclear as to what demon sites are.
Are they a fully new feature or have there been demon sites previously?

I'm assuming they are like lairs but specifically for demons.

(Not greened since this is addressing anyone who can answer.)

I'm guessing that it's going to be something like horrible fortresses or towers--think Angband or Barad-dûr.

Pretty sure we didn't have demon sites in the past because we really didn't have demons in the past, at least in the role they're in today. Originally, they showed up in player fortresses after the fortress fell to HFS; after they were just spirits of fire etc. In their current incarnation, they've never had anything special that isn't HFS, I'm pretty sure.

There were demon sites long long long ago before the switch to full 3d. They were things like pyramids and stuff.
