Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

I'm all for cross fort references and whatnot so long as it doesn't go too overboard or anything. What exactly entails "too overboard" may be subject to personal opinion.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Or don't. It risks becoming an absolute clusterfuck of anachronistic nonsense.

True.

Yeah. I'll have to get the ok from some prominent MurderMachines players, and there's not really a need to do too much. If we're limiting it to that, as most seem to think is best, then there's also not the need for both forts having the same modded in creatures.

[TheFlame52]

I feel pretty prominent. If some of the void spirits mention the Spawn occasionally, then I'm fine with it.

You are one of the main ones I was referring to, along with peregarrett. I forgot you were here too, so that makes it easy.

[Mr Frog]

In light of the fact that a new release does not appear to be terribly-imminent and Splint does not appear to want to start the new fortress until then, I've taken the liberty of jumping the gun a bit and starting the new fort myself using a modified version of the prototype OP Splint sent. Hopefully y'all will forgive me. Here's the thread.

[Orange Wizard]

I forgive you because that was actually kinda good and not just a link to dickbutt or some crap.

[Lolfail0009]

Ok, well done.

[Splint]

On that note, happy April Fool's Day guys.

So since I'm here, let's posit something.

Continue the wait for another one or three months (I'm optimistic the next release being in the next couple months,) or starting sometime this week and hoping it doesn't suck (because sieges seem to be pretty broken.)

[Mr Frog]

Broken how? I really haven't played much with the current version -- been kinda off DF for a while sadly.

Honestly, I'd say that unless there's a legitimately-insurmountable performance issue at hand just do it. Largely because even when the new release comes in, there'll probably be loads of bugfix releases required, and then we'll just sort of end up right back where we started where we're constantly waiting for the "right release" to do it on, because let's be frank every single iteration of DF has had some sort of terrible issue or another.

Also, Merry Christmas asswipes

Yeah, I'm hoping the same. I'm also hoping to stall DGIII until then, but Flame seems pretty ready to go. As per Spearbreakers, I'd say "sign me up", but I am practicing my responsibilities thing. So, put me down as a definite maybe.

[Aseaheru]

I say to start it now.

Also, sieges are sort of broken, yes. You might get one your first week or not get one for a decade, depending on what the civ that sends it is doing (since sieges now work more like migrant waves, inthat they dont make new people as needed) However, that probally wont be an issue with the spawn.

That is actually exactly what I figured would happen with the new system, so I'm feeling pretty smug :3  Teehee.

Still, I'd imagine Spawn would use the same system, seeing's how to my knowledge all civs use the same sort of basic population mechanics, so they'd probably be just as broken. Not that having them turn up on Year 2 really stopped Spearbreakers, but it'd suck if they just decided to not turn up at all.

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah, it's probably worth the wait for Toady to fix sieges. The other option is to make the Spawn have gigantic sites with huge populations.

Hey, I'm having an issue that might be related, but has to do with my own mods. The megabeast I've created seems to be either: A) Destroying all life or B) Not appearing in-game. What should I do?

[Orange Wizard]

... increase megabeast count in worldgen and nerf the beast's stats a little?
