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.

  -Is it possible to make it so if a interaction is used it affects everything on the map? Then one targetable entity will ruin everyone's lives...

That's what I'm sad about Previously, if you didn't specify a maximum range and target number and didn't specify that a target had to be within LINE_OF_SIGHT, the interaction would hit everything. But that doesn't work anymore, and to my knowledge there isn't a replacement technique yet. *curls up into a ball and cries*

  You misunderstood: If one target is within [LINE_OF_SIGHT] and activates the interaction, can that interaction still effect EVERYONE with, say, a percentile chance of going insane?

No. To clarify: there is no option as far as I know for an interaction to automatically hit everything within a certain radius once activated. It was previously possible to simulate such by not specifying a maximum target number, in which case the AI would automatically use it on every valid target in range, but a player-controlled unit would still be able to restrict the effect to a specific unit or units.

Of course, if all you want is AOE, using a dust-attack to do it is good.

Not if you want resurrection. Strictly speaking, resurrection is an interaction type, not a syndrome effect.

Glancing over the last few pages of discussion, has the verdict on whether or not this is going to be a reboot or continuation of last game been made? I've been hearing stories of railguns and ballistic weave and modern materials that I would be most happy to provide the specifications for.

Also, a general probing on the status of the project.

It's a sequel.

Status of the project as far as I know:

> Mr Frog has basically finished updating the Spawn raws to 40d, putting in megaspawn and degenerate spawn, and adding the various other goodies he wanted to put in, although maybe he'll start throwing other crap in if he gets bored at a later date (likely)
> Still waiting on Nakéen to get back to us on the advanced armour and weaponry; I'll probably have to take a stab at adding everything myself if there's continued inactivity on that front, although I have little experience with armour modding and complex equipment reactions
> Not sure where Splint's at with doing up the OP, prologue, and various other important material.

Incidentally, I've always felt that the sten gun was a good thing for an advanced civilization to give a medieval society they want to uplift. Incredibly simple, dirt cheap, quite effective, and not actually powerful enough to render them dangerous to railgun-wielding spec-ops.

[Nakéen]

Little head-up : I will begin working on the weaponry and the various syndromes on Friday !
I'm too busy at the moment, next four days are going to be hell haha.

I can see it now: Squad A is armed with a mishmash of bronze and steel weaponry and armor.
Squad B is packing SMGs and battle fatigues
Squad C is composed of power-armored goons with mass drivers.

[Mr Frog]

I just noticed...

> Mr Frog has basically finished updating the Spawn raws to 40d

Looks like we're goin' back in time folks

Squad A is local mercenaries, who apparently refuse to change their equipment.
Squad B is a conscript militia, equipped with cheap but effective gear.
Squad C are the fortress champions, equipped from our limited and expensive pool of advanced gear.

Yes. I approve.

 I would argue that the advanced civs would hand over some of the later paper-cartridge weapons (like the Lindner carbine) over anything using metallic carriages with integrated percussion caps, atleast unless they where also going to dump off a fair amount of machine tools, tools to make the machine tools, tools to make those, and a few dozen books on everything from chemistry to metallurgy.

 And I just remembered smokeless powder... Ohayh...

 Course, they would probably have to hand over a few sets of tools and the tools to make them, along with possibly a book on metallurgy, but atleast they would know more-or-less how to make one after they where shown it.

-roughly four hours of ninjas later-

 I mostly approve, but only is B and C become C and D respectively and a new group B is thrown in consisting of people armed with locally produced gear.

[Amperzand]

Smokeless powder, priming compounds, dynamite, and the like are just advances in chemistry, and not very large ones, achievable fairly easily by spending a few days with the local alchemist. I think the main difficulty would be forming the brass cartridges, since forged steel components are actually stronger than some more advanced fabrication, if not cheaper or lighter.

Edit; And of course, we're introducing effective man-portable railguns, which render all possible arguments about the appropriateness of world-war-era technology completely irrelevant.
