Any other cool new features? I'm so far behind latest update I played was something to do with wheel burrows...

Wheel... Burrows... Great now I want moving fortresses.

Seriously though, an update hasn't been released in well over a year so you're probably up to date.

Although in the devlog today Toady mentioned he got jumping and climbing for fortress-mode creatures to work, so they can sneak into your fortress.  Can't wait for that.

Hmm, walls are going to have to be taller then one block high now. Either that or a really deep pit on the inside.

I hope the dwarves don't start climbing to reach otherwise inaccessible items. I can just see them climbing down a well to collect the last victims clothes.

Oh... Oh ho ho ho! So it is one of those updates. 
Great, now I need to start reading the log again. Screw you guys!

[Aqizzar]

Wait... you people don't read the devlog?  Man, go to January 9th and prepare to be dumbstruck.

Speaking of which, I've been in a mood to try it again myself...

[Max White]

Really..?

The first reclaimable fortress in this world is Amostiklist, and it is the home of a dragon, Ibmat Gemglowing the Bejeweled Furnaces. In just the second year, he killed the king and various other notable dwarves, and this wasn't even their first trouble. Before the first winter had passed, a demon named Mete Deepterror and a couple dozen goblins and trolls killed almost everybody, but the king managed to hold out with the help of the baron he placed over the fortress, who single-handledly killed more than half of the attackers. The demon killed the mayor but fled in the end. Then everybody met the dragon not many months after. Over the last 100 years, the dragon has defeated seven heroes and is looking forward to seven dwarves or another naive adventurer.

And I am reminded why legends mode is a legitimate game play type.

You can RSS the devlog~

... I'll admit, I don't keep up with it very rigorously, though. Peek occasionally (which almost always reveals ~awesome~just~implemented~), but by and large... I want to be surprised, when I load up the next release.

But man, if Boss Toad's got jumping and climbing fortress critters working, that probably means that swimming and flying ones are either working or (hopefully) not far behind. I've been dreaming of functioning fortress mode flying since before I made posts regarding flying bugs. Which is to say, a whiles back

Not 100% mind. They don't actively path unless there is combat involved or they're stuck.

But wow dude there is so much stuff. I mean it's completely fucking wow. Combat revamped, personality revamped, world-gen in play, and so much more. so much more.

[SalmonGod]

Yeah, the game is getting into truly epic territory.  Like if it holds up to all its promise, I might have trouble appreciating most other games anymore

[Slayerhero90]

New avatars.

[Parsely]

I never played the first one, but I did play both the expansions. They weren't terribly scary, but the parts where your buddies get messed up PK style were cool.

[Bauglir]

I rewatched a bunch of AoT today. I completely lost focus on doing things that mattered, but in my defense at least half of them hit a brick wall of "I don't know how to navigate your bureaucracy on a weekend when your offices are closed". Also, had a good walk with occasional sprinting, got the magical combat maneuvers hammered out, and learned that vanilla+mint is a surprisingly good combination. An acceptable day.

That is a good set! Now go do 30 diamond push ups, gotta work those arms, mother trucker!

[misko27]

Do 15 of those push ups where you push yourself off the ground and slap your hands.

[Max White]

Clap push ups are actually pretty easy, double claps are hard, triple claps are freaking impossible.
Try elevating your feet onto a chair, with hands on the ground, and doing a set like that.
