I'll commit suicide if there isn't a release before 1st of June.

Don't try to blackmail toady, now. It'll be out when it's out.

Now we know it'll probably release right about June 15th... because he can.

June 2nd...Because he can!

Instrument use is planned in the tavern arc, so that's sort of a particular time. Emitting noise on their own is not explicitly planned, as far as I'm aware.

Oh yeah, true.  I was only thinking of like talking swords and stuff.

Devlog stuff.

Wait, so different civs of the same race can have differing ethics now? When did that go in? Does it pertain to sites too? O.o

I'm not sure I read it as that a civ has variant ethics at each of its sites.  I read it as saying that a civ with the ethic to war with itself will do so if one of its sites antagonizes the other.  For humans simply having different particulars (hated leader, differing religion, failed trade caravans) is enough.  For dwarves the bar is higher, they need pearl-harbor moments such as seiges.

Technically, years ago. The mechanics are in the game for civilizations to have differing ethics from their default template, but there are no mechanics making it happen. But I'm pretty sure that catenate is right - the ethics simply determine how  messed up the situation has to be for intra-civilization conflicts to occur.

I wonder if leaders with "dreams of ruling the world" ambitions will siege their own civ's sites regardless of civilization wide ethics.

Any chance of a pre-release? I have been so hyped for the last 5 months.

[Nopenope]

All DF versions so far have been pre-releases, the actual release is planned sometime in 2035. If Toady "accidentally" uploaded the current game as is, it would be hilariously broken and unplayable. I guess a lot of his time is spent rewriting things and fixing stuff so it becomes only broken.

Look at the version number. Every release so far has been a pre-release.

There is no thing like "pre-release". It is perpetual alpha.

So the new devlog clearly means that the elite military dwarves who become refugees when we abandon our forts will become bandits and plague legend mode, right?

[Footkerchief]

03/17/2014 Toady One I handled the things I wanted to do with refugee to bandit conversions, and included things like having bandits work out of ruins and caves. I also worked with conflict resolution a bit more and got some more stranded armies to find their ways home.

Bandit camps in ruins?  Argh I need to play this already.
