Hello Again
« on: July 20, 2012, 01:25:57 am »

So, took a several month hiatus, want to get back into the game (haven't played since 3.2). Can anybody fill me in on the major updates, as well as details on vampires/minecarts (that the wiki doesn't have answers for).

Thanks :)

how exactly did you weaponize cows into emissary-assassins without causing the expected loyalty cascade?

uh... Lots of stuff. Heres one, when you order a sqaud to kill someone, after they die it stops.

Dwarves no longer do the "I'm walled myself off" thing, now it's "I'm standing in the way of construction", but it appears less often.

Only 2 off the top of my head.

Vampires drink blood.  Minecarts drink blood too.

Dwarves can drink vampire blood, if you do thing right.

Dwarves can build walls at a diagonal, and don't walk to the west/north side if they are already next to it, but sometimes stand on the tile instead (workaround is to cancel and redesignate with a different resource).

Kill orders actually end with the target has been eliminated (troops don't stand around admiring the body any more).

Minecarts can be used to shotgun their contents through fortifications.  They can also fly through fortifications if already airborne.

Falling objects do damage, mostly based on their mass (reports of seeds causing fatal head injuries exist, as do reports of clumsy dwarves slipping on stairs and dropping the log they are carrying on their own livers).
