What do you love / hate about DF .34 so far?
« on: February 16, 2012, 08:24:04 am »

I love the new unit screen myself. Have not experienced vamps or zombies yet... Have not found anything to hate/ dislike but i'm only 3 hours in.

I love designating across Z-Levels, the units screen and hate people calling it DFVD instead of DF2012.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

I love the name DFVD.

I also love the fact that terrifying biomes put the fear of god back into the dwarven heart.  The rain that causes instant death, the soot thralls, the endless zombie scourge...  It's all just...  My god, nothing even has to approach you.  The terrain itself will kill you before the goblins, titans, and dragons ever get a chance!

Love Letter to a Kobold

Him. This little fella made this version worth eleven months.
Every second of it.
That's right, Lulustraykin, you made my life worth living again.
Welcome back, kobolds!

Yeah, so kobolds. They're great, and the unit screen, and the name DFVD, and decorating with stones. It's all good. Except for the mosquito swarms, and the new font when zoomed in very far. That's not too great.
But mainly the kobolds.
I love you kobolds.

What does DFVD mean? I read syndromes can now be ingested but I didn't think they'd be transferable via *ahem* personal contact.  :o

Unit screen, z-level designating.

Hate that I have to wait for the tools to be updated:P

Sorcery! Witchcraft! Howww!? You must share your powers for the good of all, sir!

Srsly, I am spoilt beyond belief, DF2012/VD is nowhere near as fun when I have to keep a notepad running to keep track of all my dorfs

DT was updated. Like everything else at the moment, it is a little buggy, apparently. I say that a new major release of DF is like when two comanies merge together. It's awfully messy at the beginning, but things work out awesomelly in the end :P

I can't play without prospector, the idea of embarking and receiving zero useful minerals/stones at all is just nuts. The game should include more detailed info until/unless Toady makes various minerals more useful. Also need clean/cleanowned etc later on to help the lag.

Also really miss runesmith/dwarf guidance, saves me a lot of time of looking up what suits what dorf..

I'm loving some of the new things. But two things really stand out that grate me the wrong way.

1: Too many children migrants. I hate kids in my forts. Having to arrange so many accidents is a pain.

2: Dead become undead way too fast. I've lost entire forts of 100 in under 2min. Impossible to control.
