I'm getting into the mood of doing a bit DF here and there again. First thing will be compiling a list of all things that have been reported in the last 3 months that I might have missed. It would be nice if people could post suggestions and current bugs here. I'll read through all the threads and start collecting as well.

Humans:

Warlocks:

Gnomes:

Succubi (all changes done by Boltgun):

Other changes

- Removed the fireborn caste and its reaction.

Hermit:

PS: My main attention will be on fixing things, minor updates, balancing and the like. I want to leave you a well-running, stable version of the mod before I leave for Siberia. I will have a look at a possible 40.x conversion, but it might be more trouble than its worth at the moment. I do like the new trees though.

[Rammok]

I would love to see a bare bones MW 40_X. Probably take 6-months or more, if you sleep very little and accomplish almost nothing else.

[smakemupagus]

development branch for Orc Fort, compatible (as far as I know in a couple casual playtest forts) with MDF6.1 is here
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=6732

If anyone gives Orc Fort feedback either here or in the Orc thread, please note if you can whether you're using "native" MDF6.x or the OF dev patch.  I haven't had as much time for detailed testing as I used to, so odds are kinda high there's some bugs lingering. 


Notes as of dev branch 3 (MDF6.1/OF3)

[Meph]

Perfect, thank you Smake.

[qorthos]

Bugs:
*Obsidian is currently blue!   
*Dwarf magma workshops don't always use magma-safe blocks or anvils (though I think the anvils may have been intentional for vanilla bug related issues)

Dwarf wishlist:
*A means to get orichalcum other than from the ore processor.  It could be bought from Teduk, or part of an extravagant reaction at the volcanic temple of Armok, etc.
*A means to get a trade license other than requesting one from the first liaison and buying it on the second.  Buying a trade license from someone like Teduk would be fine, so that once I get one I can get more, or from the Embassy for 25,000 gold coins, etc.
*A reaction to convert platinum coins to gold coins.
*Change some of the workshops to 3 wide x 5 tall
*Change some of the building graphical layouts (i.e garrison, guild hall, monastery, wizard school) to be entered from the north instead of the south.

I'm definitely willing to help with the last two and provide some examples of what a the workshops/buildings could change to.  I like the designs now, they're pretty, but my forts always run out of space for buildings on the north walls for buildings.   

[smakemupagus]

Perfect, thank you Smake.

no problem

[qorthos]

There's also a bug with setting coal as a desired workflow output when burning compact peat at a smelter.  You can create the workflow limit, but then it just immediately disappears without any warning.  I think I've seen some other folks have the same issue, but then other people say that they're not getting it.  Maybe it's platform dependent, I have no idea.

Yeah, you can work around it by going into the advanced pane and manually setting it to coal.

[Voukras]

Would it be possible to add a way to select gems as a material in the military uniform screen so we can equip soldiers with gem-tipped weapons and armor produced from the gemforge? Sorry if there's a way to do this and I haven't figured it out.

[qorthos]

I've noticed that.  It seems like gems are just "metal" as far as the military screen is concerned.

[moseythepirate]

Well, the Hermit still has some outstanding bugs that need dealt with, and last I checked the Succubi mode was a bit bare(tee-hee).

[Jiamil]

Warlocks:
Skeletons in Military not working well, dropping out and can't be reassigned as Crypt Lord before late game banner.
I remember some reaction bugs with the library system regarding some of the dusts, don't know if this has been fixed yet.

[Emperor]

Human alchemist seems broken, but i think there was a fix somewhere in the Humans thread.
Other than that, the human knight transforms to paladin without problems, but the said paladin transforms into the same caste again and again, losing his skills in the process. It's quite infuriating.

[slay_mithos]

You might want to use my script (or a variant of it) into the caste changes, to fix the EXP bonus.

[Boltgun]
