But yes, awesome stuff. Now I can find how brutally my hunters die to the nearest giant lion attack.

Can't you do this already, by counting the severed body parts?

But then you can't see how the hunter feebly swats at the lions back as it viciously mauls him.

Combat reports are very important.  You can always a imagine how something happened sure.  But reality has important differences.
Imagination Example

R.I.P. Dolgun Mountainteacups Champion wrestler, slayer of a thousand goblins.  Died to Milton Deweyeyed the groundhog god of death and decay. Died a heroic death that will be told by the bards for ages to come.

What really happened.

R.I.P. Dolgun Mountaintacups Champion Wrestler, slayer of a thousand goblins.  Tried to strangle an undead rodent to death. Darwin Award recipient.

You big meanies! You gave Toady a headache!

[Aqizzar]

Yes, dealing with the Various Nonsense uprising pushed the next Dwarf Fortress release back another day.

I hope your happy, everyone on the declaration who isn't me.

I'm gonna start a new topic, but, look at signature D:

What is this nonsense?

It makes no sense whatsoever!

Hey look, a chicken!

What are you doing here chicken? This is a forum. Chickens do not belong on forums. You can't even type.

[ToonyMan]

Chickens should be in Dwarf Fortress.

SEE SEE I MADE A CONNECTION!!!

[Greiger]

Chickens would be pretty spiffy if you could harvest eggs from them. 

Wasn't there something mentioned about egg laying creatures? I forget.

Lies! They type! They use the hunt-and-peck method.

eggs:
the baby-infant stage replacement for reptiles and goblins.(ed: and birds!)

Also according to myth the first dwarf was born from a geodite that Armok blessed by cracking it with his fist.
This dwarf was born pregnant by the way.

How dwarves became two sexes (albeit little bimorphism can be observed) is one of those legends that are very taboo and only known to the high priests of the Creator.

edit:
were it not for dwarfbabies running around, I'd say they were eggs being incubated under the mother's beard.

This once venerable thread hasn't had an actual devlog related entry in like a week.

I fixed the brain problem. As expected, it was flipping all of the relations so that the brain was around the skull, and the lungs and heart surrounded the ribs like ribs, that sort of thing.

Aw, we all expected some worldbreaking screw up like this, but we didn't get to see it ourselves.  And I have this awesome image of a dwarf with brain smeared all over his head and lungs popping out of his shirt.

The image that the inside-out dwarf conjures are horrible beyond imagining.

Someone needs to start making drawings of the horrible mutant dwarves, like Mr. Remembered-To-Make-Ribs-Internal.

[Duke 2.0]

 If a dwarf is inside-out, that means their internal organs would consist of beard.

[Aqizzar]

Hmm...  Aren't they already composed of beard?  Though I guess all those organs have to come from somewhere.

I'm totally making beard golems as some kind of superdwarves.
