Devlogs two days in a row!

I usually think that the frequency of devlogs indicates the excitement of Toady with what he is currently working.

I have only one problem with the world generator, and that is all these inland "seas". They consume lots of space and don't reflect realistic terrain.

I don't really understand what the links mean, or how to read those maps.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Well, it's still a Work In Progress for now (WIP) but those links denote Trade Routes on the one map and Feudal Allegiances in the other.  Both show theoretical straight line distances, not necessarily the route taken by Trade Caravans or Liaison. (What is the plural of Liaison?)

Alrighty those Squares represent Dorf Forts, and their colors represent what kind of Nobility is running it.

dukes in red, counts in orange and barons in yellow, with the monarch in purple

The lines between these blocks is how their related to each other. More or less showing that their in the same Kingdom, and also showing, Barony, Counties, or a Duchy with their surrounding communities.

I dun like this map, I think its so similar to the trade network maps.

Will we be able to use minecarts to connect fortresses to hill/deep sites?

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.

They don't seem to be associated with any one specific site. There's an itty bitty little square at the center of web of colored lines which represents a noble, though.

No. They'll be offsite in fort mode. Maybe in Adventure mode.

Improved world gen trading was already part of the 0.34 release. It's unlikely to need another rewrite so soon.

In the first map in the upper 1/3rd of the right side there is a darkgrey "Block". What does it mean?

That trade stuff was from a while ago, when he built the human cities if I recall correctly. It just hasn't shown a lot of effect in gameplay yet.

There's a much more noticeable one in the glacier in the second map. Also, on the trade screens, they are connected to a neighboring civ by a dark green line.
