I wonder how much closer we are to the promised hill and deep dwarves Toady started talking about years ago.

I take it you haven't read the new dev notes which came out last week.

Just did. That is a wonderful pre-magic list. That being said, it did say Candidates. Not "To Do List." It's still a good question which ones he'll finish before moving on to the big release cycle.

I imagine it depends on what bugs will occur that need to be cleaned up. There's a deadline which only Toady knows, so whatever he can get done in that time (6 months in previous releases, but this time seems a bit more ambitious so perhaps a little more).

That said, armies require hill dwarves and armies is the aim (bay12 report) so I expect they'll be around in some form.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like it’s sort possible then . Also is there a way to know if a civ has a good chance of winning a war? Does the population count help? How does a civ determine when they should send an attack on another site?(not the players site)

[pamelrabo]

The longer the history, the more populated the world (usually). If you generate a world and play the firstborns, thepops should be in the hundreds, not the tens of thousands.

[CptAWatts22]

Yeah, I've played big pop worlds before. Ones with 10 s of thousands in one Civ. All have less than 7000 right now though.
