From the new devlog, it looks like the monsters of twilight got scared out of their lairs and ran into the trees. This should happen in the release, and you should be able to get missions from these monsters to clean out the beasts.

I expect a lot of adventure mode play this time around.

That would be pretty sweet. Well, apart from them being afraid due to bloodsensing cavern creatures through solid rock, but I get your meaning.

[Cruxador]

Honestly, monsters being afraid of worse things seems like an almost-feature more than a bug.

Sometimes you just want to grab somebody and scream "what's going on?!"

I know what you mean, man.

Taken on its own, it sounds like existential crises are now an implemented feature. What's the fantasy medieval universe equivalent of buying a motorcycle? A horse with barding?

Adamantine socks?

"Kill 'em all and let Armok sort 'em out" has always been an Adventure Mode thing, only now it'll be marginally more defensible.

[EnigmaticHat]

Now I'm wondering if the market brawl was caused by the area being loaded, or if it would have happened without Toady's presence.

[Inarius]

The twilight creatures thing  is really awesome. Now I really want it badly ! I hope this "bug" won't be corrected because, to me, it's not really a bug.

[DG]

I suppose you're joking or it was a throwaway line, but I see enough of "I hope x doesn't get fixed because it's not really a bug" to spur me into commenting.

You want night creatures who are too paralyzed by fear to do anything more than clamber up trees because they can sense the horrors in the deeps miles beneath even when said horrors can't reach them? It's like the dwarf-cancels-job-because-of-groundhog-across-ravine issue. I'm not convinced you want it to stay in, but maybe you really do.

It's an interesting outcome of current implementation, but advocating that it stay that way is a stretch.

[Inarius]

Of course, you're right.

But who said that this vision had to go "miles beneath" ?
That's the broken part (reducing the sight), not the fear in itself, which is a quite good surprise to me.

[nanomage]

Don't the night creatures get the NOFEAR tag from their transformation? If it is true, then it certainly looks like bug, because they are supposed to be afraid of nothing aren't they?

All those mentions of trucks in the latest devblogs really make me think that Toady is actually implementing trucks into DF.
It'd be a damn good wagon replacement for sure.

Trustworthy internet sources tell me that there's an easter egg - if you rename the wagon into "mew", it will turn into a truck.

Suddenly, semitrucks began appearing on the muddy rural roads. While they did not exactly work well, the trucks revolutionized the medieval economy. Suddenly, it did not take 200 souls marching for 7 days to get a load of stone to town. Transportation was no longer a serious obstacle. Trade and the sharing of ideas creating a richer world which rapidly advanced its science and technology.

At least, until they ran out of fuel.

Whoops.

Urist McAdventurer approaches Twilight Monster, it screams: "Stephanie Meyer is down there!"

What i wonder about is the thing with the Mayor in the hilldwarf settlement. why did they run from him and why did that one dwarf turn onto toady after he attacked the Mayor.
