if players choose to be a criminal and/or sneak around a lot. would the adventurer be able to place poison in foods or on projectiles. if so could this mean kobolds and elves would be a force to be reckoned with in fort mode and adventurer

did snow white and the seven dwarfs have anything to do with the decision for the number of dwarfs at embark?

[Ixoran]

How Many Lines of Code is the entire Dwarf Fortress Code Base?

[guyinthecrowd]

I figured I'd be different, Will the environment a dwarf is raised in affect what they like/dislike? For example, if a dwarf is unhappy as a child being raised in a fortress made entirely out of mined Orthoclase, will said dwarf dislike Orthoclase as an adult? Or as a counter-example, If a dwarf is happy whilst being raised in a room of Kaolinite, will said dwarf like Kaolinite when they become an adult?

Question #2: Is it possible that you could maybe put Scamps in the game? Like maybe as a roaming invulnerable kitten with an exotic tag? We could train it to claw at the face of invading elves, steal their paper, and go up in their cave and eat it.

Will the alignment of an area affect it's residents? For example, currently, any tigers in an evil biome are usually zombies. Will dwarves in a fire-aligned area be say, extra passionate?  Or turn into Azer?

Are the songs mentioned here progressing at all?

...edit: "here" is a link.

I think this was answered in the affirmative in the MSPA interview a while back.

With all the changes to the underground, will some lakes and ponds be any deeper, or still just be a single Z level?

[Rainseeker]

Do you like pie?

I am definately asking this.

If you mean underground lakes, yes.  Dunno about aboveground though.

nope, asking about surface lakes.

[Walliard]

What are your thoughts regarding POWs in fortress mode? Would dwarves attempt to re-educate prisoners into their society as goblins currently do with snatched children?

[Ghazz]

What are your thoughts about 3rd party utils that actually affect gameplay? (dwarf manager, quickfort, reveal.exe)

3d-utils were asked about on page 3, but i'm really more interested in knowing the official bay12 stand on these types of apps...

With the changes to the civilization raw setup, will it be possible to disable certain nobles if you just don't want to deal with them or want a new civ with a different setup?

Things like aggressive societies only having military posts while peaceful ones would have more bureaucratic posts.

building upon this. would you eventually allow the player to set what population the nobles and economy actually arrive. e.g instead of 80 dwarves. how about 40?. or the ruler arrives at 80 dwarves?
