Okay everyone, we're on the home stretch.

It's been a loooooooooong wait, but it's almost here.

However, ask yourself once, "what exactly is it?"

Do you remember all the fun stuff going into this update? Probably not. So, let's all go back and read the dev log, starting with the advent of 40d.

40d came out in September of '08, so there is a lot of material to read. Feel free to post any favorites here.

Burrows! Burrows are areas in your fort where dwarves live and work in. You can assign these areas like zones and assign dwarves to them. Dwarves will only use workshops, rooms, etc. in burrows they are assigned to.

Yay!

Mine is:

"I've added the ability to specify in the world gen parameters the number of sky z-levels, the number of z-levels minimum between each layer (it'll often be more because of elevation changes), and the number of extra z-levels down at the bottom."

Release. ^_^

Just looking at that page caused a dorfgasm. I need to change my pants, brb.

Now that I have returned, I think anything based on the new combat systems are what I am looking most forward to.

[Cuchulain]

For me, its either the new body construction (just love the complexity, and a hugely refreshing breath of fresh air from the whole "HP" systems used in other games), or the underground stuff. I think exploring dangerous and dark caves filled with nasty monstrous civilisations - well, communities, anyway - will be immensely entertaining.

[UberNube]

Definitely all of the underground stuff. Specifically:

It's possible for an adventurer to enter a massive underground cavern on one side of the world and journey all the way to the other.

Although, I feel this is more relevant to fortress mode than adventurer for me.

Custom workshops are going to drastically change how we do business. Modding in new races with bizarre items and equipment is going to be *fun*, instead of a smelter-spamming chore.
