Played around in a town in .13. Went looking for a shop... odd none around, and when I read the directions the city itself is a 16x16 plot of land with absolutely nothing in it...work in progress I guess.
So I decide to go on a mass genocide. I barge into a hut and stab one of the occupants in the leg with my crappy copper short sword.
The resident, doesn't give a shit. In fact I don't even autotarget him as hostile, I have to manually target him again. And not only that, noone else cares either.
So I strike up a conversation with the guy (who has been upgraded from moderate legwound to arm amputee) and he says nothing interesting. But when I leave the conversation window he starts fighting back! He is quickly upgraded again from arm amputee to kibbles n' bits, and I move onto my next victim research subject.
Again, I stab the poor sap with the pointy end and he doesn't care. And this time I start a conversation immediately, and yet again he starts attacking. I start conversations with everyone else in the room as well and after each the person immediately turns hostile.
Conclusion, in 31.13 courtesy is supreme. You must first greet your victims personally one at a time in a warm and friendly way before sending their bits to the far corners of the room. Even mass murderers need to greet their customers with a smile.
P.S. I also discovered that in order to alt move now you need to do the alt move command twice in a row. First time seems to indicate your intention, second time actually moves you when you press alt-<direction>
P.P.S. Oh my god, they are all naked! My minds eye! It burns!
