I look forward to chopping down a tree right in front of an elf in adventure mode.

Then I'll build a phallicly-suggestive statue to make them cry.

Are you sure that would make them cry?

Anyways I can't to be have more skills in adv mode, looking forward to mining most of all.

It would if it's carved out of wood.

They would probably cry harder if it were carved into something abstract. The phallus is a shape found often in nature. A masterwork bed in the shape of a hexagon is not generally found in nature.

 More likely the elf would fake a cry and take the wood home...

 I'm not going to complete this joke.

Hasn't Toady said suffocation was just lung bleeding that causes unconsciousness?

[Tormy]

Yay!! at the latest dev notes! 
It looks like that Req359 will be implemented in the next version? ->
"01/10/2009: Individual tissue layers on body parts can sluff off or boil now, after suffering melting/boiling effects while remaining intact for a short time."

..and also:
"The more relevant applications might be mods involving water creatures that could freeze or boil during regular game conditions. So, not sure if I'll get to that this time around."

wow, just wow! Toady please code this in for the next version, it's worth of it really, even if it pushes back the release date by a few days. 

[Mel_Vixen]

Yes please do that. That stuff is just plain awesome decorated with cool.

Ice creatures, that only show up and attack in the winter in cold areas (or most of the time in freezing areas), or they melt.  Or is it possible for an ice creature to melt into a water creature, and still be alive(or animated or whatever)?  Survive a phase transition?

Individual tissue layers on body parts can sluff off or boil now,

I move that we nickname the next version "Noblepain the boiler of skin". Because we all know that's the first thing we're going to experiment with.

[penguinofhonor]

What I really want to know is if we can not only have a creature that's a water blob and turns into a living ice boulder when freezing, but having it turn into a living cloud of steam if the temperature is high. They would have to dissipate after a little while because they'd be practically invincible, but it'd be cool if they hung around and strangled anything that got caught in them.

I don't think an ice creature would melt currently. They'd probably burst into flames.

[Kogan Loloklam]

How about a creature of water that becomes a ice statue in the cold, but turns back into a water creature if it gets too warm. Can you imagine a tundra fortress?

Logbook returned from Rimtar Ushil, from a babbling survivor of the Dwarf Caravan sent there.
Granite 7:
We found a bunch of ice statues in a cave.

Granite 10:
We are melting the statues for water.

Granite 11:
The horror! The horror. Urist is dead, the rest of us are freezing to death on the surface. In the warmer climates we worried about flooding our fortress, but this is worse. Flooding water doesn't chase you... The only safe place is up on the surface, where the creatures cannot survive. Unfortunatly, anything we do to ensure our own survival will allow them to follow us. You who are reading this turn back, for only death awaits you here.

Why would you bother to melt ice statues into water when you're surrounded by other, perfectly usable pieces of ice that weren't crafted into something?
