I don't get any shell creatures. Is this news to anyone else?

On the embark screen? From traders? While fishing? Think you're going to need to be more specific.

I'm very sure that he means on the embark screen, since I ran into the same 'issue'.  It broke my heart.  Guess I'll just have to force a dorf into the water for some early fortress fishin'.

Can't get it from traders or embark screen. Haven't fished one up yet.

Yeah, I guess access to turtles is no longer universal to all starting civs like it has been up until now.  Could make it awful hard to get some shell in hot climates where pools evaporate.  Or were never there to begin with.

Pools refill when it rains now.

Only up to 1/7... then it evaporates again.

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

I think Toady fixed the no-fish-on-embark bug in 39c. Try that.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
