The only major complaint I have so far is console spam in adventure mode. It seems every time I enter a town, some poor tool has a "slightly injured fourth toe left foot" or equally inane ailment, and so every other step, "Urist McWimpy gives in to pain/has regained consciousness." And he limps around like that, occasionally dropping a glove for some reason. I've seen 6-7 instances of this, surely it's a bug, especially since one of the creatures doing this was a DRAGON I was quested to kill, who I walked up to unhindered and strangled to death because it was taking a nap due to "slightly injured nose".

Also, I've taken the habit of training swimming and combat by chasing schools of carp, pike, and gar downriver with a hammer. Very effective, although the blood kills the framerate if you let it catch up. But every once in a while I'll be in an area with moderate temperatures(so I'm pretty sure they aren't just reaching a dried up part of the river or getting frozen) about a dozen various fish will "drown" within two or so turns. It's pretty odd.

I've never seen people giving in to pain easily like that, but I do hate the spam you get when people are fighting half across the map.

[Cthulhu]

It's not a bug, they were just wounded during world generation.  If a person loses an item, chances are he actually lost that limb during worldgen.  Next version is dealing with that.

[Alopix]

Hmm... amputated and lightly injured are slightly different shades of grey. Next time I'll have to clobber them over the head so I can compare injury colors.

Actually fish in real life drown if you drag them backwards.

For the record, fish in DF "drown" when they aren't in the water. Like how fish can't breathe air in real life, but the tags may be off in the game.

That's why DF skeletal carp are so dangerous. They can chase you onto dry land.

they also drown in less than 3/7 water.

Lies.

Yes. That's because over 3/7 water is considered "deep water" where non-aquatic creatures without swimming skill will drown unless they don't breath or acquire that swimming skill quickly.

I was once sent on a mission to kill a dragon in a cave. Ash piles all over the place. Constant messages of animals dying from heat, presumably from the dragon's breath. I kept looking around unsuccessfully until I checked the log menu.

Only to find the dragon also died in the heat. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Then there was the time my fortress was invaded by a severely wounded Titan that just kinda stumbled around in front of the fortress complaining about it's knee until someone shot at it a few times.

Alternately, as an adventuring wrestler, I I broke almost every bone in some guy's body, let him live, and he somehow managed to drag himself back to his city.

[Yanlin]

Wouldn't you basically fall unconscious from pain overload if you tried to do that?

Actually, no. I do know for a fact that some types of sharks need to swim forwards, or atleast move through water to get the oxigen through their gills. If they stay stationary, they will suffocate.

[Yanlin]

But sharks != all fish.

I confirm this
