Speaking of world gen parameters, will we ever be able to set them to be completely randomized, as opposed to specific numbers or even weighted numbers? Random mineral scarcity, werebeast types, max cavern passage density, etc?

We could have something like:
Large Island
Large Region
Medium Island
Medium Region
Small Island
Small Region
Pocket Island
Pocket Region

Awesome update, and happy birthday to Scamps!   I may have been reading poorly, but did Bembul's name change because of his captivity?

When you hear that he he he, you know somethings about to go down.

Since you're waiting to put in taverns until after release, what do you mean by fake taverns? Will they be in the release, and if so how will they differ from real taverns?

Presumably it'll be like the fake taverns in the hill dwarf settlements Toady mentioned earlier - just people standing around pretending to be drunk.

Maybe they got kicked out and didn't notice.

Not sure if it has been asked before, but... With the new vision cones, is there any way to look behind yourself without having to taking a step in that direction? For example, if you were being chased and you wanted to see if that bronze colossus was still running after you, would you be able to look behind yourself without having to stop running to see if you lost it or not?

With history progressing even during Fortress Mode, would we see a diplomat coming to tell us that all of the immediate royal family were killed during the "Siege of Pointy Sticks", and the only living heir is a potash maker in the fort? That would be interesting.
