you still have pages of non-question-talk.

I'm sure if he is ever not happy with the format or content of this thread he will let us know.

[Aseaheru]

fine. i ranout of questions anyways.

[Putnam]

All of my questions are related to modding, hehe.

Are there any plans for anything new in the way of the data/speech files?

[Aseaheru]

will there be any variations in a language? i.e. a civ sits alone for a thousand years, and its version of, say, dwarven is almost incomprehensible to a dwarf elsewhere.

I seriously doubt it. He hasn't even mentioned it. Hasn't even gone on to the whole mish-mash culture thing. THough that woudl be interesting.

[Aseaheru]

he mentioned it... a while ago...

Definitely not in this release. He's stated pretty clearly what his goals are for this one.

I think language is a waste of time really.
Maybe in the later versions.

will there be more food types in future?

Food stuff?

different prepared meals.

There is a Cooking and Farming overhaul on the books, at some point in the future. And what ToadyOne has spoke about Cooking is that Recipes will be completely redone, so, not much different prepared meals are planned but the ability for greater novelty in meals.

This just in: Lethal jumping bugs.

Let's see how long it takes Bay12 to weaponize jumping.

I'd put socks on, oh, 4-6 days.

Depends, is the player treated as a projectile while in the air?

I can see AI exploits which cause goblins to jump straight into the side of walls, blowing themselves apart...

Toady,

It has always seemed to me that Fortress mode is the more popular format in the game. With a lot of the focus of current development being on adventure mode, are you worried that more fort-oriented players will miss out on a lot of the new features?

When scouts/armies are eventually introduced to Fort-mode, will we see the same villain-behaviour / groups-moving-around-the-world that is being worked on in this release? Will the world behave in (more or less) the same way it does in adventure mode?

Thanks for taking the time you do to answer questions here. Always looking forward to reading about current development
