[Aseaheru]

it it as big as the 2010 update?

[MasterMorality]

I don't know, but it's pretty fucking big!

[Errant Gamer]

I don't know, but it's pretty fucking big!

This can only be a good thing.

[Rockphed]

It doesn't have as many listed features, but more of the listed features are actually things we care about.  Most of the 2010 update was breaking things and bringing them back to the former levels of functionality.

[FearfulJesuit]

Yeah. DF2013 will truly be an update for the ages.

We been needing a proper list of changes for a while now. I went ahead and made an easily linkable google doc, and also rearranged things a bit just based on what I figured would make more sense to people who haven't been following along so closely.

Assuming we get multi-tile mushrooms are we likely to see any nice shelf ones? Having some big enough to walk on or even build on would be cool.

I think "less lethal" combat should be added to the list.
Disregard.

That would be awesome, and actually pretty realistic, I just wonder how the game would handle cavern walls turning to deal with it, or passages, for that matter

[MaciusDF]

I've played my world DF and I lasted two hours. I'm sad because I have not lasted long. Have you lasted long in your games?
I hope that in your games last much longer xd

With the next version, will all the civ creatures (e.g. golbins, elfs and dwarfs) from legends be present in the map? Like I can talk to everybody (alive) from legends in adventure mode? What about FB/Titans, do you plan to have them all on the map? How will they move/decide where they will strike?

Yes; yes (if they're friendly); titans still have shrines and FBs are underground; megabeasts won't attack (yet) but civilizations will go to war with each other.

[Aseaheru]

i still wonder how dwarf forts will be genned...
