But if you want the true Star Wars, one side should be unskilled crossbowmen and be blind.

When dwarves want to commit suicide, then by Armok, they _will_ commit suicide, even if they have to spend the rest of their lives working at it!

Bloodthorn would work better, since it's bright red.

Here's a tip, though... Use Russian characters in your WPA5 passphrase. If your spontaneous AI is anything like my spontaneous AI (not as aggressive as yours, good conversation, but actually worse than me at chess*), it can't handle any character outside of the CODEPAGE 437 list.

*I hope. It could just be lulling me into a false sense of security.

I've noticed that some animals make strange sounds to alert their pack (and everyone else around) when detecting another presence nearby,even when sneaking.

I've known this for a while, but I did go for a while without noticing.

We have a weather sim.  Like not just rain moving across your fort area, I mean the game actually tracks clouds and storms as the move across the world map.  Mountains and bodies of water influence the flow of the clouds over the terrain, and I assume temperature does too.  I've visited regions as an adventurer that were periodically blanketed by think fog or snow and made it very hard to see.  Toady and the forumites don't make a big deal about it, its not listed as a feature on the website, but in any other game worldwide weather simulation would be a selling point.

Now, what will be really impressive is if Toady remembers to make people's vision cones for the new sneaking mechanics shorter during obscuring weather.

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

That's technically an action, not a speech... Well it was only a matter of time before I had to write another scene of utter and horrifying perversion.

The sounds random creatures make can be quite interesting/unsettling in adventurer sometimes.
Killing dwarves, obviously.
All this time and you missed that?

That there is a section of your profile which lists what hours of the day you're online in a cool bar-graph

Oh god.  Can't you see what we've done?  There's a little detail in my post, that was cool, that I didn't notice.

It's a little thing in a post in the little things thread.
