i dont know if this has been asked or if i didnt saw it in the development plan but.

will adventurers be able to tame or buy domesticated creatures? i mean, like getting war/hunting dogs or even exotic pets as aditional support. also exotic mounts

Yes, this is planned:

Adventurer Role: Hero
*Mounts
**Can buy them as with livestock, handled as with livestock
Basic Adventure Mode Skills
*Raising livestock
**Ability to buy a livestock animal and lead it around
**Keep track of your animals as with hunted animals so they are not easily and permanently lost

Before I ask this of Toady, I'll ask this of the community - is touch range same-tile only, or is it adjacent tiles, like hand to hand combat?

Adjacent.

Will gelding potentially change animal behaviour, making them less likely to fight for the pasture, for example?

I don't think hormones are modeled (yet). If it did change behavior beyond the animal ability to mate, it probably would have been said. The post was just talking about changes to mating.

not sure if this has been asked already but how high is implementing the magic items
 such as   ◀Sword►

on the list.  im craving a ◀!!<<bone Sword>>!!► just for the shear awesomeness of running around with a magical flaming bone sword. who cares bone is not the best material for a sword. its AEWSOME!

(even more awesome if its dragon bone and has fire opal on it)

[Knight Otu]

Pretty low. Toady has mentioned in the latest DF Talk that the non-player artifact portion of the upcoming development plans might lead to artifacts with magical powers, but if it doesn't, it'll likely take a while until there are more opportunities for them to enter the game.

(twitches) magic artifacts....must have....flaming sword.....
I also like the dip things in poison idea. I mean right now we have people leaving coins in evil clouds then coming to get them before throwing the coins at things and husking them, killing them by vomiting to death. all good ideas, personally I would love to fill a moat with fb secretions of death.

If Toady implements magic swords, they're more likely to have a random SPHERE effect.

It may result in a sword which makes enemy very unhappy upon being hit. Or may render enemy completely unfertile. Or may curse enemy so that he will never be successful at fishing ever again. Or make enemy the worst trader known to this world.

There are many spheres.

A skilled swordsman can do any of those things with a normal sword

Adjacent.

Much appreciated, Putnam.

[endlessblaze]

but isn't there a sphere for fire? I need to brush up on my sphere knowledge. I haven't checked them since I made that entity file

Spheres.

[endlessblaze]

ahhh yes. thank you for saving me the trouble of going to the wiki, yes there is a fire sphere so even if it is sphere based fire is not out of the question. but the spheres of darkness, chaos ad blight are also interesting....heheeheheheMWHAHAHAH. perhaps a sword of darkness that causes temporary blindness, or chaos causing....chaos....blight...ohhh....sickness causing necrosis...hehhhe these give me diabolical ideas......put a magic artifact in a trap....hehehehahahhahhah. my evil mind shall find much joy tonight.

And the birth sphere effect spawns babies of the species you're fighting whenever you strike them.

[endlessblaze]

I had the same thought.

what about rainbows?
rain could make it rain....but rainbows

WAIT! I just rembered something could have more than one sphere...
darkness+fire
a dark flame that blinds those it touches (temporally)
rain+fire I think that goes without saying.
rain+darkness.....

think of the possibilities! the power. THE POWER!!! (endlessblaze is taken by a hopeful mood)
