That's right

That is right

I was partial to calling it the dwarf lung materiel release myself.  You could call it the materiel release, or the underground release too of course.

Anyway for the sake of screenshotty goodness I give you my modest still under construction surface fort I told myself I would work on souly until the new version.  (because I wanna figure out how to do large stonesense images too.)

Spoiler: 2 Big images (click to show/hide)

The view from the south east.  The center keep that houses the barracks, weapon and armor storage, dining room, main meeting hall, mist generator(what the big line of axles 1z above the ground is going to) and all of the nobles' rooms.  As well as the access to the mining tunnels where all this stone comes from.  The all iron trash compactor, which makes a bit more sense realistically than a stone trash compactor.  Industrial sector to the left side, commercial sector near the trade depot, the tavern is the 2 story building to the right.  And the residential section is south of the main keep and is currently just 1 half built apartment complex next to the jail and cemetery.



The view from the opposite side, the north west.  Showing the front of the wall and main gate, with a better view of the commercial sector.  All that dead grass around it is supposed to be kept alive but despite the restricted zones the damn dogs won't stay outta the goddamn yard! *shakes fist*  Off in the distance is my small army of constructors cheerfully going about transforming the walls into something that looks good instead of just an elevated position to shoot greenskins from.

P.S.  I would put them in the stonesense SS thread but they are not WTF awesome enough.  I have trouble thinking outside the square shaped stone structure.

EDIT: Bah photobucket sized them down from the origonal 1360x1024 and it got a little blurry.  Oh well, still pretty big images and it's not too bad blur wise. I suppose photobucket can't have everybody linking huge images for the sake of their bandwidth.

2010

I'm really not sure why people are calling it that.
Barring Toady overdoing a release ala this one, there really should be another one this year.

Personally, when I mention DF2010, I'm not just referring to the very next release, I'm referring to most of the ones that come after it. Like what we refer to now as the 2D version and the 3D version.

[forsaken1111]

I think DF2010 is an appropriate moniker because it's the first time he's broken save compatibility with older versions in a long time.

[KaelGotDwarves]

There's going to be quite a few releases in 2010 hopefully -__-

[Christes]

Well this is going to be a huge shift - along the lines of 2D -> 3D.  So what should we call this new era?  I'd be cool with 2010, except that it might extend into 2011.

[Footkerchief]

Calling it "2010" is dumb.  It'll have a version number.

Too much maybe?

Aye, that's why it shouldn't just refer to the very next version, like I said.

[Lord Nightmare]

maybe DFUG for "dwarf fortress: underground"
Sounds almost like the name of an expansion pack...

Both are completely legitimate. You don't have to use the moniker if you don't want to.

[LegoLord]

I imagine someone might have once said it was dumb to call 3D dwarf fortress such since the first 3D version would have it's own version number.

No reason to go calling people out for calling this and those after it '2010.'  I probably won't myself, but others seem to like it.

The_Year_We_Regain_Contact_With_the_Underground

You know, there were ratmen climbing out of chasms and olms going up the wells back in 2d. The more garbage you had dumped into the chasm, the more angry underground denizens you got. Toady nerfed it first, now we get it back.

[forsaken1111]

I wonder if we'll ever get those feature back, but now generated and tracked on the map rather than spawned by triggers. So you could send a squad into the deeps to cull the local ratman population to avoid an invasion. Preemptive magma strikes also.

Next release.
