That is nothing new. Stop scaremongering!
....back on topic...
What does Toady mean by 'landed' nobility?
Is it national level as opposed to local political positions?
If nobody would stop them I bet they would be happy to let old windows stop turning on after a particular date.

It's the ones that haven't been set adrift at sea.
if its a dual core it's using 100% of one core, df isnt able to use both cores
Yea, thats makes sense. My comp is dual core. I guess the resource management is better on Windows 7.
If it's the same machine how the hell was it going up to 100% of both cored back on vistah?
Rahgrahhah
I know that in the DF2010 version statues will have art associated with them. Will this include being able to have statues of gods show up?
I thought they were just getting "of _____" thrown on the name, with that being the same kind of stuff that went in engravings. Get ready for your stockpiles to fill with statues of clouds and squares before you get a god~
Now its doing the 100% thing, I guess it just needes some time to organize the CPU or dunno.
Better explanation: how much other crap have you got running at the same time?
Momuz the three-eyed marmot demon
I really hope the demons are more imaginative than this because all I'm evisioning from that description is a giant marmot with three eyes, and probably with vicous claws and fangs. But even then, that demon fooling the humans into thinking it was their skeletal goddess of death just doesn't quite connect. Unless they are as stupid as our dwarves are most of the time, but even then....
Also, the fact that Toady was able to kill her, in her sleep, without a fight, is extremely anticlimatic.
They probably run the gambit with "dinky" little hell-animals ranging up to divinity-class demons. It won't be easy to print off a description for you that gives much distinction between a little rat with a badger's temperment and light demon magics and a twisted mound of flesh that once might have looked like a hoary marmot but now has so many horrifying orifices of unfathomable purpose as to be unrecognizable as even something mammalian, and that being before you even consider the many other anatomic features.
If you wanted to do it a little bit like I just did now you could dial up the relevance of those features so they just didn't appear for comparably low class demons. In this case I was talking more body parts so it would get more complex actually having extra mouths and things but for hellish qualities in the fur and appendages that were already there it would all be descriptor anyway.
But ya, killing powerful things when they aren't going to fight back doesn't fit the classic epic type story, except that it does. In a later arc Toady could probably have an apparition appear afterward that talks about how you just killed some lowly vessel the entity wasn't all that invested in if they were "too good" to be killed like a mortal would be.
