It has been a while...
« on: March 25, 2015, 02:01:27 pm »

Being away from this community for a while, since the 40.13 release, and i recently got an urge to play this game again.
Wow, poets, libraries, festivals? Can you guys sum up what changed from 40.13 to now?

There's been several bugfix releases. Some of the important content releases are the following:

40.14
Thoughts replaced with emotion/circumstance responses, happiness with stress
Plant gathering zones, most useful plant growth now gatherable. Including tree growths, through stepladders

40.19
Gelding

40.20
Job priority release
Designations have explicit priorities and can be set as markers only
"Do it now" option for building (workshop/lever) tasks
Mining can be any tile, visible gems/minerals, and following veins
Dwarves can carry multiple small items
Wall/floor construction is a separate skill-less labor

Since 40.13 isn't that long. DF runs on a dev cycle of about a year for a major update, then a bunch of minor features and bugfixes over the course of about half a year. Rinse and repeat.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
