can you even milk in this version? I can never find out how to...

Definitely gonna run some tests in arena mode to see how the new material system has effected weapons and armour.

I'm hoping that with the new system metals will be more inline with their real world qualities, for example bronze being more worthwhile.. (though of course we won't see the full impact of the change until failure modes for armour damage and weapon breaks are added).

Yea you can milk purring maggots.  The problem is that they are kinda hard to catch, and after you do dwarves end up considering them a regular food item.  So somebody will probably grab and eat the thing before you can milk it unless your quick.

The dwarfs eating maggots is fixed in 2010- there was a post on the dev_now last week. Now they only eat maggots if they're the only food available. Also, it sounds like all creatures with the milkable tag that aren't also tagged sentient will be milkable now (though this has not been explicitly confirmed).

My first plans on DF 2010 are create lots of soap and cheese...

I have plans to make a cliffside village and use burrows to divide the population for certain uses. Considering the access bridge to the fort goes a long way around and a long way down, provided cliffs make a comeback, I'm going to take advantage of it and just drop any invaders and use the bottom floor burrow as a collection, mid-level burrows as teamsters, and upper burrows as nobility of the most useful. Nobles will be in the more vulnerable outdoor area and we'll decide whether to leave the invaders (especially projectile-armed) hovering around them or not.

There would be an execution building lavish all all sorts of riches, and in clear view of any skilled archers that invade. You'll know when it's time for execution when the trumpet of the invaders sound and your doors are locked and you realize that those windows are actually fortifications giving invaders a clear shot. Once invaders have made their use, drop all bridges.

Spoiler: Here are the plans: (click to show/hide)

Step 1: Embark on a volcano
 
Step 2: Find said volcano and build a giant cavern over it, with a single hatch in the bottom triggered by a lever.

Step 3: Fill cavern with blood.

Step 4: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!

Harriers for the cup!
Now I need to start a Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!) themed fort.

You will need enemies that induce madness to pull this off.

If there is a breath that repeatedly and rapidly induces thoughts of unhappiness, this can be done. The dwarf will become so unhappy that it enters tantrum mode, and finally loses it entirely.

I'll have to work with the specifics a bit before we can have creatures whose very presence drives dwarves insane.

[Jon-Ace]

Finally make a moated fort... never got around to doing that in the d# series.

[Huggz]

Make a fort to THE EMPEROR! Golden throne, permanently unconscious Emperor (Savescum until he is injured just right) and a ridiculous number of military dorfs with swords. With mods, you could make it so awesome...

I thought that job was already taken by the elves?

Elves are tree fapping faggots. One of the Dwarves natural instincts are to kill the elves, so it does not drive them insane, it is only an instinct.

Probably go fuck all crazy and dance a bit, then go out buy some 4 liters of beer, dl the game and fail horribly but most importantly have fun
