Good information here for the wiki .

Nice work on the updates Toady.

Are refuse stockpiles supposed to terrify certain dwarves?

[MaskedMiner]

More questions, anyone is still free to answer

Are those slade fortresses with upright sword in them still in game? I can't find them with stock menu, building menu or even lever trick.. So umm, are they still in game or are they just really rarer? Or is every method of finding them fixed?

In one of older version there were those unnamed whatever underground animal men civilizations, what is the plan for those? Is every type of animal men going to have their own tribal civilization or were those 7 underground "civilizations" placeholders for something else?

Are we going to see plant genetics and cultivar breeding in future?

Does said refuse contain any body parts of dwarves?  If so, then yes.

Bug report.  I marked it as "no change required," but I'm interested in Toady's view.

Are nomadic entities planned for the future, and if so, how would they be handled? We already have underground animal-men tribes, and I can see the current overworld animal-men forming roaming bands.  (Centaurs maybe?) Would they also be drawn from existing entities, for example human outsider tribes?

With us in a more living world now, just wondering where civilization-level domestication of a species fits in the timeline of things? (That elusive Expert to Domesticated in training/taming of wild animals). Thanks for all your work!

Dwarf Fortress used to have nomads, and it's likely that they'll be back in some fashion, given that it is a historical human civ structure. Even now, occasional groups are called nomadic (I had that with a civ somehow only controlling a tomb, I think). For the most part, I expect they'll work much like existing entities and entity groups, being a mix of historical figures and faceless masses generated at the dawn of the world, as opposed to them drawing away from other civ sites, though the latter will probably happen as well.

Ah, thanks for the answer. 

Spoiler: Also, another question. (click to show/hide)

Are demonic fortresses supposed to exist anymore? I can still see the interaction for them, but they've apparently never been found. Were those to be replaced by hell spires and angel vaults?

Question in spoiler

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Does demon binding fall into the current interaction framework?  If not, is it intended to be soon?  If so, what are the tags for modding the demon binding

I'm not going to green this question, but: For adventurers, in the 'Q' screen, both 'events' and 'groups' have the key set as 'e'. It toggles, however. Anyways, has this been reported yet?
