Ok, given that it grew next to a structure may be the key, I'll test that and see what happens.

[wierd]

Untested to see if they grow or not, but adding [OUTDOOR_ORCHARDS] to the mountain entity has borne strange fruit.



I am going to see if they are plantable.

[Aristion]

New does not make it strange. Strange does make it new.

[wierd]

The strange fruit, being TREE SEEDS.

Sadly, they do not appear to be plantable.

Just genned a new world, if you leave humans alone they get huge! If you don't leave humans alone... Kobolds took a level in badass, first they conquered a Dark Fortress and now an ENTIRE HUMAN CIV. Oh and a couple of hillocks too.

I, for one, welcome our new cutebold overlords.

[Awessum Possum]

And there are only 600 of them, against tens and hundreds of thousands of humans and dwarves.

EDIT: There is also at least one Kobold necromancer running around.

It is terrifying.

   Okay I have a video for 0.40.03 up now.  I am sad that the saves broke again but glad it happened this early. I would much rather Toady get the save breakers out of the way all at once rather then having a world for a couple updates and then have it break sometime down the line.

[Awessum Possum]

Hmm... The goblins on the mainland seem to have all suffered from a series of Unfortunate accidents. I might have to embark on the evil island where the only goblin civ is. Or do battle with the 'bolds.

(Fun fact, the kobolds who conquered all those cities seem to be refugees driven from their island by a war of extermination led by a vampire tyrant. Did I mention this game is awesome?

Now that I know that dwarves and such are no longer a Kinsey 0 by default, I'm waiting for a stable, somewhat more optimized release so I can make a proper fortress and treasure each and every same-gender relationship that happens in it. (If I'm reading the default ORIENTATION numbers right, sentients are bisexual with a preference for the opposite sex.)

[Burmalay]

I just generated the large world with 400y history. It freeze after 500 +- 10y, so...
Civilizations, Sites, Beasts, Savagery, Minerals - very high.

I will treat my gay dwarves, should they ever do anything interesting enough to actually make me read their profiles and even notice they're gay in the first place, the same I treat all my other dwarves. As expendable workforce and military grunts.

The bug whereby an entire stack of bones is consumed (instead of just one bone) when a dwarf "Decorates With bone" is still present in 40.03.

Yup.

[Bartholomew The Pious]

The dwarves should believe in their leader. If the commander of their squad happens to be battle-scarred, great with his or her weapon, and has a bunch of kills under his or her belt, the subordinates should be much less likely to flee.

I am beginning to suspect this is how it works.  Not because of the commander's kill list, or scars, but her Leadership skill.  Discipline and Leadership are both being trained in my military dwarves, but we need more time and playtesting to see what they actually do.

===========================================

One of my sparring dwarves just threw her sparring partner, using a wrestling move.  (Threw him by grabbing a toe, as it happens.)  What makes this unusual is that both dwarves have weapons.  Previously, sparring between dwarves that had weapons only used those weapons, and never involved any throws.  This in turn meant sparring between unarmed dwarves could become fatal (thrown, lands on head), but giving them weapons made it 100% safe.

Weapon sparring is no longer 100% safe.  Get those helms on!  BURN ALL THE CAPS, FOREVER!

This kind of thing, damn, makes me wish I can edit out Caps from Fortress Fashion forever! By default I mean. Heck I could raise a petition for Toady to make a minor change leaving Caps out of Dwarfy business and instead replace it with assorted 'llama wool mail shirts and breasplates!" Now those are hip.
