None of the changes for 2.22 should effect graphics.

I am seeing arrows and daggers rip off limbs.  Combat went from laughably easy pre .10 to VERY deadly after.

And I occationally have a game where I cannot make hauberks as well.

I've seen it like that in vanilla df. It seems like everything can rip off limbs like crazy. It's a bit comical. The old version was comical in the sense that maces and stuff would send enemies flying all over (was very cool imho), but the new version is much more sadic. I had a guy in full steel get his hand ripped off in the first hit by a copper dagger or something like that. Not sure I like it too much, it just makes it so the first serious hit they land on a soldier cripples him for life, no matter the armour.

Sounds like we'll have to just wait until Toady tweaks the combat results a bit more.

In honor of 31.12 making combat work, and me being generally grumpy about my laptop going out on me, I've decided to add in Beastmen today. Nasty, foul, will-always-attack-you style beastmen based off of the Goatmen. Should be Fun.

Beastmen! Woo!

Any opinion on the sling I made?

[Mephansteras]

Haven't had a chance to play with it yet, sorry. But I'll try to get to it soon.

Hi,
   Spotted a small issue with the latest version:

*** Error(s) found in the file "raw/objects/plant_cf.txt"
BERRIES_RASPBERRY: Could not locate material template PLANT_SOAP_TEMPLATE

[Mephansteras]

Hmm, must have been left in from when I was playing around with getting Elves to make soap. I stopped working on that when I realized that merchants wouldn't bring soap anyway.

I'll have that fixed for the next version. Shouldn't break anything at the moment, I hope.

[drayath]

Do you have any map seeds that still have most/all of the civilizations alive at year 1050.

Ideally a medium region, but I am having trouble managing for a large region at the moment. (had 10 on a large but managed to delete the seed).

[Lord Shonus]

I ran into the same problem. I just edited all the entities to start with 1000 pop.

[Mephansteras]

I just start around 300, since by 1050 none of the babysnatching races ever have any of their actual race left. And 300 is long enough to get some decent empires and wars for the history.

[Lord Shonus]

My civs were dying out by 75.

[Mephansteras]

You can also try doubling the number of Civs that get placed initially. That usually helps as well.

[kilakan]

I usually just place 100 civs, atleast one always survives.  Course if more then one survive, well FUN when the ambushers get around.

[ChickenLips]

EDIT: Bah, I gave bum scoop.  I *thought* I saw someone mention that the "fixed potential crash in container reactions" thing meant that reactions could now check containers, but I think I misread it.  Sorry bout that...
