I'd prefer a more direct punishment for trap spammers, like the traps having a random chance of accidentally misfiring whenever a friendly passes over them.

It might need to be tweaked so as to prevent there being such a thing as a "Caged wagon" though.

I like the sound of this, as long as "friendly" doesn't include your dwarfs (unless they fall on them or sleep there maybe). Maybe a high quality trap could reduce the chances of horrible accidents involving blood and pointy ears while lots of low quality ones would be like a minefield for any would be traders.

Toady should release on April 25!

Indeed, that would be a great treat for both Anzac Day (Aus/NZ holiday) and my birthday...
Except for the fact that it would be released three months and two weeks from now.

Release on April 11^th, my birthday. Less than 2 months.

It would be awesome if Toady released a HUEG amount of changes on December 21, 2012. And as soon as the first downloader opened it, planet X/aliens/Rick James would pwn humanity.

Having jokingly wondered if Toady was going to achieve a 2009 release I'd propose that he at least release before 2011.

Seriously. The patience of the fanbase is somewhat astounding. Right now DF is something of a zen experience - if a game is awesome but nobody can play it, does it really matter?

[Mipe]

Don't forget to breathe. You might not want to suffocate before the release.

[Dwarfu]

...does it really matter?

Are you insane?  Just knowing it exists keeps me from paying good money on the crappy games that HAVE been released.  Hell, just reading the dev notes and thinking about DF is still better than probably 90% of the games that exist.

Testify, people!  Can I get an, Amen!?

[Mel_Vixen]

Not as long my animal-men worshiping arse is over the ground Pal. Anyway as soon as DF comes out i,by a good chance, will have a satori.

[Acanthus117]

Amen to the dude who said DF owns 90% of other games. There are so many things to do!

Amen to that. Ever since I discovered DF, most games just seem like trash to me. I even chase down old games now since only those have real fun (and FUN too). Normally, I would be looking forward to Napoleon Total War, but DF changed that. Hell, I only regularly check this forum and the dev log. Other forums only interest me if they have a Dwarf Fortress thread.

And that last Dev Log entry ... I was on the verge of drooling. Surgery! SURGERY! What other simulation game even HAS surgery? Theme Hospital doesn't count.

Edited for awesome truth.

Theme Hospital was awesome though. I still remember playing it house-to-house dial-up multiplayer. Another game in my list of "why the hell was it abandoned!?" games. I also have a list of "why the hell didn't they just leave it alone... " games, and unfortunately games tend to move from one to the other...

Now that we have a way to handle injuries better I want to see more sources of injuries. Dwarves working the forge should have a 1% chance of shattering their fingers from a bad hammer strike.

[Acanthus117]

And that last Dev Log entry ... I was on the verge of drooling. Surgery! SURGERY! What other simulation game even HAS surgery and magma and the ability to literally disarm children and whack them to death with them?

Edited the edit.

I CAN SEE FOREVER

I keep thinking that he must be so close, but, like Zeno's paradox, he never reaches the end of the dev.
