a fell mood inducing poison would be great...

i would get a mother to slaughter every single of their children and make bracelets out of their skin! muahaha AHAHA MUAHAHAAAA...!!!!!!

excuse me.

Word you are looking for: foo is a metasyntactic variable. Borgle seems to be the one we use here.

PPE: drat, ninja'd

Artifact creation poison? I don't know if it should come from anything but the most extrodinary of sources.

[Sysice]

How did you even get ninja'd by that much?

On the contrary, the fell mood poison should be spawned by a otherwise harmless type of hfs. You think it's cool until only one survivor remains, making a dwarf leather bracelet.

Artimood poison would actually have a fair bit of Fun potential. Consider your defender deciding that, instead of attacking the Giant Muse Spider, they now need a bar of gold, a walrus tooth, the next dwarf's right lung, some Muse spider silk cloth, and a unicorn skull.

...Actually, imagine if StrangeMood were a disease, and you had an epidemic. Would your fort survive?

Give ti to vermin like Cave Spiders

[CobaltKobold]

That would be the normal Muse Spiders.

These are the available poisoning effects: "pain, swelling, oozing wounds, bruising, blisters, numbness, paralysis, fever, bleeding, coughing/vomiting blood, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, necrosis, impaired vision, drowsiness and dizziness."  Direct stat penalties and mood/insanity effects aren't available, although they certainly might show up later on.  I doubt the severity parameter (which you can see being used in this SPOILER LINK as "SEV") accepts a negative value, since most of the available effects don't have obvious inversions, e.g. what does it mean to have "negative blisters"?

Well, shucks. Guess I'll have to wait for the Toad to put in stat-affecting poisons, then.

It's a shame, because I was giggling over the possibilities of cracking things open and eating their "poisoned" organs for effects, like dragon hearts or elf brains. Though I imagine that'd need accompanying adventurer things, actually.

Wow, that reads like the side effects listed out on drug commercials... But don't worry, after all that your dwarf will no longer have to worry about his impotence! (like it matters; they all just use spores anyway!)

So...

Will we be able to fill new undergrounds with water? - e.g. dumping major river into it for like 10 years nonstop.

[CobaltKobold]

Unless he's changed map-edge behaviors the answer will be 'yes'.

[Akigagak]

Fluids flow off of the map edges. Ask anyone who has carved fortifications into an underground map edge as a drain.

I've been pawing for the raws for some time now, trying to find an answer to a question I have, but I haven't found anything. 

You know how in the old version dwarves had a [DAMBLOCK:1] tag to represent how even though they're small, they're built like tanks?  How is this toughness represented in the new version?

I'd have expected either an upscaled BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:BROADNESS tag or a reduction in RELSIZE:BY_CATEGORY:LEG_UPPER (with similar modifications to other limbs), but it appears that dwarves are built exactly like humans or elves.  An increase in skin thickness would have made a lot of sense too, but I haven't seen any of that either.

What is it I'm missing?  Is there some subtle property of the new raws that I've overlooked, or are dwarves really that weedy now?

[atomfullerene]

Ehehehhehheh....night before Dwarfmas indeed.....   Anyway, those underground camps sound pretty neat.

A few nooby questions from someone who has been out of touch with the DF community for the majority of his DF experience:

Will my saves still be compatible? mods? utilities? graphics pack?

Anyone get a general feeling as to its release time?

Will there be some sort of exploitation/demonstration of the brand new features, or will we have to find them all out on our own?
