[Toady One]

(that's one part that has changed now -- chopping off one grasp works for headless ones, to partially mitigate the confusion...  it's still confusing though)

[Amperzand]

...Huh. Neat. That'll make things easier.

[joeyshabidu]

Hey Toady, cool game, I'm a big fan.  I read in the dev overview that the ability to pass long periods of time in adventure mode is a work in progress.  How's that coming along?  It would be fascinating to enact a "2nd world gen" to see the consequences of player actions over significant periods of time. 

On a related note, if you can advance time, it opens up the possibility to marry/create descendants.  You could have things like family artifacts and hereditary attributes which would be pretty cool.

[SirPenguin]

I'm still pretty confused. I'm having a hard time visualizing something like the Headless Horseman lumbering toward you only to suddenly drop dead because you cut off a single hand

Undead have a lot of problems, but I thought the current "must-have-at-least-one-grasp" system was pretty clever. With all the other nerfs and changes I feel the grasp change isn't necessary, but hey, we'll see. Either way I'm glad to know the undead won't be the game-enders they are today

[Random_Dragon]

Personally I tend to find the undead are more of a threat due to still being bloody fast, and tending to always score reliable hits as if they had master striking skill. >.>

Planned. Except maybe the hereditary attributes, besides what the genetics system gives the offspring from both parents. But yea, there plans to mary, and have offspring. Then play as your kid, don your old stuff and have at the world.

Do kids play with imaginary friends now? Do said imaginary friends not show up on the relationships screen? Because there's a kid playing with "Orshetdanman", and I can't find any "Orshetdanman" in the fortress.

An artifact toy, perhaps?

Ah, yes, my 39600 dwarfbuck beak dog bone puzzlebox. I hope he's very happy to have the privilege of playing with such a toy.

Alt+Numpad-15 = ☼

Alt+Numpad-15 = ☼

Ah, but Dwarfbucks is a more dwarvenly thing to say than ☼ though.

Or Sols, which is what I assume the currency would be called if it used that symbol. Odd for an underground race. :V

[NJW2000]

I always thought they were tiny gemstones.

[Silverybearded]

There are so many words in the dwarven language to choose from. Why not call them Ad (Sun), Limul (Gold), Zuntîr (Anvil), Tekkud (Pick), or Lam (Stone)?

[cochramd]

Because Dwarfbucks or Dorfbucks sounds better and immediately conveys what you're trying to get across.

[Random_Dragon]

Or db that both abbreviates dorfbucks and vaguely resembles the symbol. o3o
