Create dwarf mode combat reports if practical

...and the peasants rejoiced.
The combat reports add so much to the game for me. I can't properly express how happy I am to see them officially in a release, and if we get fully functional reports that display everything except for training spam, my head may explode from pure joy.

[Sowelu]

Combat reports are too spammy for me, but I'm glad everyone else might end up getting them Hey, that's what init options are for!

Arbitrary material breath weapons? Cool.
Lets see that gives us icebreath, firebreath and a dozen different maiming poison breathes. No lightning yet but tis certainly enough to be going on with   

Ha! Such limited imagination! Consider Blood-breath, Gold Vapor-Breath, and expelling flaming guts out at the speed of sound-breath. Also, Beef-breath, bone dust breath, and water breath. So much potential.

You forgot "spinning vomit breath."

Candy dragons Do sugar-coated dwarves get used in kitchen jobs? With boiling sugar this would be a horrifying yet delicious way to die.

Easy to find features (if you want lots) throughout all Z levels, arranged to permit ample area for a fortress

I'm curious to know what this entails. Hidden features as they stand now, underground rivers, lakes, magma pipes and pools, chasms and what not are pretty hard to get all on a single compact map as it stands now

Well,the biggest difference will be that features can overlap at different levels.

[Teldin]

Hmmm.

First creature raw I'm making:

Dwarven mustache dragon that breathes out dwarven lung tissue.

[Greiger]

I think I'm weird, all I can think up is tentacle demons that breathe unknown substance... not particularly lethal I suppose.

You can't leave out molten gold kitten blood-breath, spraying down dwarves and turning them into valuable still-life statues.

[Ampersand]

I'm already devising clever methods of getting tame gold blooded creatures to stand in one place while they bleed. Probably a construction like,

Code: [Select]

#######
++O|O@#
#######
Where @ is a dwarf, # is a wall, O is a door, and | is a spike trap connected to the lever the dwarf is pulling. A typical kitten killing device, really. One just has to hope globs of gold can form on a spike.

[Warlord255]

Right, now that I'm over the glee...

The possibilities with poison are horrific and endless.

Contact poison + Necrotoxins + poison blood + blood pools = throw goblins into a pool and watch the flesh melt from their bones.

[Gunner-Chan]

Don't worry I thought of it too... How about they bleed it too? So it can come out in pressurized squirts? 

[ZeroGravitas]

"Necrotoxins"
I might be interpreting this wrong but, The Zombie Apocalypse approaches!

Sorry, no.

[Apegrape]

The first thing I'm going to make is a gold-coated diamond-core dwarf that can breathe gold that is so hot it turns into a gas. When it dies, if it can, it will explode into poison-coated bolts that make normal creatures also explode in the same way, setting of a chain reaction. Wow, that'd be awesome. Toady really puts some effort into pleasing the crowd, unlike the maker of Cortex Command, for example. I mean, one update every second month..

• Perform the hydra test

Interesting.
