so what's everyones favorite part of the new release? mine is the new underground.
I would say machinery or the new smoke, but neither of those made it into the list so the underground.

I don't have a quote, but I swear I remember Toady saying he'd fixed large milkable animals - maybe it was when he was still doing the countdown?  Or perhaps just early on in this thread?

Edit: actually, as of Feb. 4th (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=30026.msg1012311#msg1012311) it seems milking is still broken.

Then why did Aquillon say that milking is fixed now and footkerchief said it was authoritative or confirmed?:

Correction:  It is now possible to milk cows, donkeys, horses and camels.

Do you have a source for that, or are you just blowing smoke?

It's authoritative.

Likely because they are alpha alpha testing for Toady to find crashes and bugs for Toady to fix.

Don't bother asking them if they are. Alpha alpha testing, I assume, involves non-disclosure agreement.

On the forum is an image of a dwarf and dwarves. The dwarf is questioning. The dwarves are conspiring. This relates to the great Milk Conspiracy of 2010.

In this case, "The dwarves are refusing the dwarf."

It doesn't help anybody to start a rumor of something that is fixed which isn't.

Also, lol@ Innominate.

From the wiki: Dwarves will now fill up their quivers properly - they will not go into combat with 1 bolt in their quiver if they can help it.

The new body system, the underground, and arena mode are all high up on my list. Arena mode especially, because it'll make modding in critters way easier.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.

Many can infer from this statement that my speculation is correct. If there really is a non-disclosure on it though, I'd suggest to say no more. I imagine that people may get pestersome for some answers.

Actually it should be "The dwarf is refusing the dwarves", but eh, enough nitpickery on that.

Anyhow, we are certainly getting close to the release and Toady always answers questions whenever possible.

I wouldn't be real surprised if he was one of the testers since Footkerchief kind of has an unofficial mod/mentor/senior forum member (and I mean rank not age) status around here.

Edit: Just checked his join date and it was maybe a year before I joined, so yea I'm probably exaggerating somewhat here on his status, just a TINY bit of exaggeration.

Join date is largely irrelevant. Lots of folks have him beat in that department. Footkerchief is just the resident question-answery-guy.

That was a complement. I'm just not feeling very verbose.

The dwarf is milking the dwarves.
