A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when the FUN starts.

Because he is the FUN.

In Gandalf's case, the !!FUN!!.

Which is actually true, when you read what people have to say about Gandalf.

if a dwarf of a retired fortress (lets say, an adamantine clad soldier) migrates to a new one, will he carry his equipment? In case he doen't, will his armor stay home or will it just dissappear?

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Dwarfs from abandoned fortresses carry their equipment already, the same should apply to retired fortresses.

I once made an adventurer retire in a mountainhome while carrying a bag of wild strawberries, but when he migrated to my fort, he didn't have it, nor his weapons, but I imagine that his clothes whould probably be the same, and this whole thing will likely be fixed when Toady releases the new version.

Well, he had to eat something right? And perhaps that meager bag wasn't enough so he traded his weapons for more food.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

That bag had over 80 strawberries in it! It was so heavy I had to drop it to fight!

In the future, will there be vampires that are less lethal about bloodlust and civs more accepting of vampires? Like a vampire civ where, after a couple has enough children to ensure replacement level fertility, they are then changed themselves

Well, that sounds pretty elaborate, but as with everything in the future tense and not related with the current release, the answer might be "yes, no timeline". It could work better with the intended and already commented Character Agenda, where both righteous and villainous critters might adjust their schedules to do stuff that promotes their bidding, and also use some help from adventurers and fortress denizens, wether if they ask for it or not. So having a vampire ruler that harvests people instead of bloodletting them in a mindless fashion shouldn't be that far fetched. Maybe Toady has something related to that in his new roadmap, but yeah, that's a basic goal.

On top of that, I remember (but have no quotes handy) that Toady had wanted to have a bunch of different kinds of vampires such that they would be different from world to world, but that got cut due to time constraints. So in general, more diverse vampires/werewolves/night creatures in general is a goal, but no real timeline on it right now.

Toady told Giant Bomb that the next release will be "some months in the future". So we have a new ETA for the next release.
