I had a 5 year fort with 20 champion wrestlers and no one ever got married.

i never have enough patience to let the children grow into adults-- they're usually legendary in all forms of conversation and planting by age 4 though.

Back on the subject of current development: it seems to have been confirmed that underground creatures in particular have something strange going on with friend/foe stuff (link to list of related reports).  Conceivably this could be the cause of the bizarre "Are you sure you want to attack" prompts that consistently occur with unconscious cave creatures in Adventure Mode.  I thought I'd mention it here since underground creature populations are being worked on.

I demand pictures of scamps and toady.

On a lighter note, I made a new fort, using some new techniques. If all goes well, I'll submit my design to the wiki.

I love that you consider a new fort design to be a lighter note than kitten pictures.

Mandate fulfilled.

...scamps...

that creature is due for a magma bath.

[Jackrabbit]

If the creature is owned by toady, it follows that it is the only useful kitten in the known universe and possibly the savior of man/cat kind

Scamps fell asleep on my shoulder like a very tired parrot today

That is so adorable... 

But then I saw:

very tired parrot

Was I the only one who thought of a certain... ex-parrot...?

Interestingly you can tell if a Cat was seperated from its mother or not by whether it does a pulpating action with its claws. (That claw digging and raising thing). Cats that don't were seperated as it is an action that gets mothers to give out more milk.

I always find it interesting that the lists actually seem to increase in size as Toady gets to them. I think Map Features only had 3 items before he touched it.

No, it always had 5.  Some of the others did grow dramatically though, in the number of items anyway.

I just took a look at the map features section and I noticed there's no "new features" entry. Are we getting any new underground features other than reworked caves, whether they're from the Underground Diversity thread or Toady's own ideas? Also, will there be any new creatures, particularly ones associated with the new features (if there are any)? I know that every moment spent adding stuff to the raws is a moment spent not coding, but new creatures are always a neat thing to see and I wouldn't mind a couple of additional days of delay it would cause.

Toady has been mentioning that he doesn't want to spoil the specifics of the new underground features, so it's sounding like there will definitely be some new stuff.

I'd really predict some amazing things, like someone mentioned earlier, magma aquifers, gaping caverns, dormant volcanoes, real volcanoes, the like.

Please don't pour magma on the immigrant waves.
