Of course it'll be ASCII multi-colored lighting. However that works.

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

Well I can safely state that it will require much more time to mod the game. [Take a look at the new creature raws for example...] Harder? I don't think so...as for the release date....who knows...let's hope that it's gonna be released in august-september at latest.  :)

Toady places a bunch of Shortcuts in his codes.

If you look at the RAWs you will often see that Wolves, Bears, Tigers, Humans, Monkeys, Apes and such as almost EXACTLY THE SAME!!!

Yes if you want to make a Ent whos moss, leaves, bark, and moss as seperate bodyparts it will take longer.

So the answer is: Yes AND No

If I make Modbase compatible with it, the answer will be "Yes, No, and MAYBE". :)

It's amazing the number of creatures that happen to have four limbs, two eyes, two ears, one nose, one spine, and some other miscillany. Just amazing, really. If only there was a creature with two spines, like in real life. Then he wouldn't be lazy.  :D:P

Hehe, nice one. Though I understand his point. It would be nice if there was more to them but the way the next version is coming up, we may have our wish. If anything, at least they'd have different skin colours and fur.

I don't care how it works. It'll be a trip and a half.

Also, is that one site or the whole world?

Toady pointed out in the other wall-o-answers that underground cavern sizes will be smaller and more broken up all around than the examples, and the size prevalency will be controllable in the init like other features.

I personally like them huge as it gives a real possibility of something being down there like cities.

Heck I wouldn't mind them even larger, say... the size of a country.
