Toady, will adventurers have dreams/values now because of the new personalities? And what are the primary values of the other races? (i.e for elves, "Like others in his culture, he wants to preserve all plantlife."

[Demonic Gophers]

A few questions about the new 'gait' raws:

You used humans for your example, which have WALK, CLIMB, SWIM, and CRAWL gaits.  Will flying creatures have various FLY gaits that operate the same way?  Will creatures like snakes and fish lack WALK gaits, and be unable to stand up?

Is 'build up time' simply the number of ticks spent getting up to full speed, or the number of actions by the creature, or what?  What are the units for 'turning max'?  Does a creature have to attain 'start speed' to begin a gait, or can they enter any gait at start speed from a stop?

Does energy use cause over-exertion, hunger, or both?  How does it affect creatures with NOEXERT/NO_EAT?

I'm assuming that personalities will eventually effect pretty much everything in the game. Such as whether or not dwarves will steal from communal stockpiles or other dwarves once the crime arc is in.

If that's the case my question is how much will events affect or even completely change a dwarves personality. Say during a famine an honourable dwarf may not steal more than his or her ration, but if the dwarf has children will that same honourable dwarf feel that it is more dishounourable to let his or her children starve than stealing food from the community

One of my miners whacked off a kobold theifs arm and the kobold got away (didn't even get past the entrance anyhow), which gave me a thought, With the new historical continuation, will invaders and thieves who get wounded but manage to escape, return with the same wounds? Perhaps healed over even.

[WillowLuman]

Wounds are already persistent. If the same invaders return (I'm not sure), then they'd already keep their wounds.

Yeah, it'll happen.

If you wait long enough, then kidnapped dwarf babies will return to fight with the goblins against you.

[WarRoot]

 Can dreams be lost or modified, due to stressors? I'm thinking about, let's say two dwarves lose their family to goblins, one gets depressed, the other swears to kill the culprits.

Do trees have their own vermin? (woodpeckers, parasites, that sort of stuff)

rampaging soldiers suddenly hitting beaches and stopping forever to admire the waves

I'm picturing a soldier holding a bloody axe, staring blankly out into the waves. A bit of drool hangs out the side of his mouth. Behind him several angry fortress guards charge over a sand dune.

It's too bad my artistic ability is not up to par with my imagination.

[CanuckMonkey]

Would you consider an advance release of the entirely of the new trait lines so that we can...help you proofread them?

More generally, do you want/need/appreciate proofreading help? I don't have any in-game examples in mind, but I've been re-reading Threetoe's epic stories recently and noticed a number of typos that I'd be happy to catalogue and submit, if it would be of any use.

From Toady: "...rampaging soldiers suddenly hitting beaches and stopping forever to admire the waves..."

I for one look forward to the Dwarf Fortress version of War and Peace.

[Karadrass_Fr]

this doesn't include the personality overhaul

[Karadrass_Fr]

Thank you very much.

I interpreted it as a failed amphibious assault. Stopping forever, indeed.

Unless that's what happens in War in Peace, I've never read it myself.

[FearfulJesuit]

We could have Dwarven Cnuts the Great, commanding the waves to cease. And burning half of England.
