Thanks for the compliment my good men.

[Eric Blank]

...Then one of the guard's master's kids stabbed me in the back with a knife, so I guess it sort of worked all around.

So, then, are children still liable to jump into fights between much older adults at times? Does age factor into their decision making at all?

Anybody else here who usually plays Dwarf Mode, but is interested in seeing what adventure mode looks like when the release comes out? It sounds like things are getting better in there very day.

What are people's general strategies for staying alive in terms of finding food in adventure mode? It could be useful.

Licking blood and eating vomit.

[WillowLuman]

Drinking blood and river-water, hunting.

I go to a city and obtain a bag of 72 fisher berries, either by selling meat/bandit weapons, or just grabbing one since people seem OK with that at the moment.

Standard DF procedure, people find bugs, report them and then proceed to kill Elves in creative ways with the bug until its resolved.

Someone needs to sig this.

Totally am.

That question could be it's own entirely separate discussion. There are a LOT of ways to find edibles and drink.

Personally, I prefer to become some form of night creature to avoid eating, drinking and sleeping entirely. In the absence of that, butchering animals I kill and drinking river water/blood are preferable.

Bags of berries are already avaliable in many hamlets, and they weigh a lot, for what they're worth, but happen to be pretty useful until you're prepared to hunt your own meal. Also, soaking your clothes and body with blood is the best deal in terms of thirst quenching. From my experience: blood doesn't evaporate nor freeze at water's point, has negligible weight and as you progress in your adventure, it becomes readily avaliable more often. Rainfall overrides blood, but then again, water becomes essentialy infinite when this happens.

Toady, are human kids armed with standard-issue/boning knives like their peasant parents? Or are they able to grab avaliable weaponry if there's a hurry to defend themselves and their loved ones? Do Dwarven kids display this kind of behavior in Fort Mode, at least with biting and scratching when their personality allows them to fight?

Regarding the most recent dev log:

Maybe the companion was an animal rights activist?

It made me think of this devlog from a few weeks ago:

Spent some time watching hunters and fixing issues with them (in particular, when a hunter got multiple conflicts over time, it rarely had the animal end up on the hunter's side as well as not on the hunter's side... which was a sort of civil war bug that brain-locked everybody).

This kind of thing might be what Loyalty Cascade as we know it, has evolved into.

[LordBaal]

Or maybe hi was simply a "soab" that wanted Toady adventurer death to loot him...

[Poldon]

Also regarding the devlog, this is what came to my mind while reading it, and I'm kinda sad Toady didn't think of it:

The Hunter stops suddenly, having led the adventurer into the middle of nowhere.
The Hunter looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible. "I only hunt the most dangerous game!"

I wonder if he or she was a dwarf?

[smirk]

Pretty sure that was everyone's first thought, but unfortunately lying and subterfuge aren't really in the game yet (except for a very few set ways, like vampires). Of course you can still pretend, for RP porpoises.

I read that as "Rocket-Propelled Porpoises"
