Does the reference to pet information mean that all tame animals won't just magically drop dead when a fortress is abandoned? If that's the case, then will we see immigrants from a previous fort show up with their assigned war animals?

Will the "succession" work include making sure wildlife populations breed and restock themselves or will the main focus for now be civ populations?

Not sure if this was made clear at some point, but thought I might as well ask. Would be nice to not have to worry about for example fish inevitably dying out in embarks with fisherdwarves etc ^^

I'm pretty sure they already do this, and have for a while. Overfishing isn't related to a failure of fish to spawn anyway, since the animal populations are for the whole region and thus there should be plenty.

I still can overfish a map in a few years. Also there is this problem: http://bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=6220, which kind of made me stop playing an adventurer before starting a fort in the same world.

Funnily enough, i laughed at the response. I'll have to try drunk posting sometime  .Does the ai fortress building possiblyin any way be applicable to delegating tasks to lower members of the heiarchy, effectively letting the AI do your job, but of course with a margin of effiency equal to that of the skill and wit's of your delegate? For extra fun, you could only return control once a dwarf dies, somewhat of a mii-reclaim. While we're using this pipe dream (though a mini reclaim sounds actually slavagable to these young ears), could it also be used when faction are introduced and try to take some of your power and influence, at least on thier turf?

Are there any UI functionalities on the horizon wrt interaction with the game, rather than new features?  The ability to mouse most everything, reference the previous trade agreements with the Mountainhomes (maybe I am just stupid and don't know how to do this), or the option to set the world to continue progressing while you look through the Military or various other menus/set Digging or Trees to be cleared, etc?  You can choose what is important enough or not important enough to stop the world in the .ini, right?  Why shouldn't the world progress during menu operation?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

military menus already let the game progress, and i think that yes, there is a goal to allow the other menus to be accessed without pausing the game. for the trade agreement thing you can use a macro. you know about macros, right?
mouse is kind of a low priority i think, but since there's already partial mouse support, i'd guess toady is planning to do it eventually

Has Adventure and Fortress time unit been synchronized yet?

Has Adventure and Fortress time unit been synchronized yet?

No. That would be a major project and it's not planned for this release.

[MrWiggles]

Has Adventure and Fortress time unit been synchronized yet?

Synchronized to what?

[LordBaal]

The mayan end of the world?

Hey, what if some entities on the world generator also made predictions about the end of the world, just for fun sake?

Synchronized to what?

Adventurers and Fortress dwarves run in different time unit. Adventurers can do more in a day.

This is not a bug, it's intended.

What happens to your companions when you retire? Do they join the population of the fort? If you retire an adventurer
with companions in a retired fort and unretire that fort, do the companions appear as members of the fort?

[hops]

I know, but when an adventurer visit a retired fort, won't it bork up the timers?

[Putnam]

No.
