any eta on the mac client? I'd love to get into some df2010 action too!

[UberNube]

WOW, this is awesome! Thanks for destroying any hope of non-dwarf-fortress-related activities today Toady! I may just be donating a bit of money as a thank you (I'm a poor student dammit, I live off stale bread and water). Anyway, thus far it is awesome.

If anyone doesn't want to find out about new features, don't view this spoiler:

I embarked and the first thing I noticed is the massive abundance of minerals, ores and gems around the map. This may just be coincidence, but I think the frequency of them has been boosted.

The map I am on atm with default settings had almost 200 z-levels in total, almost all of those being underground.

Farm plots are different. You now have to irrigate all underground farm plots, even if they are on soil.

Also, there appears to be a cave-fish-man civilisation on my map somewhere.

Now, the next spoiler may actually be a serious spoiler relating to HFS-equivelent stuff. Don't say I didn't warn you:

I noticed after embarking in the rooms menu there is a structure listed as "Upright <*Adamantine Two-Handed Sword*>". When I zoom to it it is over 100 z-levels underground near the bottom of the map. I assume this is an artifact-style reward at the end of the new Fun Stuff.

More updates will come later.

Hi!

Well, okay, i see there are some new options in world generator, and....and that seems to be it. Cant say i noticed anything else new.
It's not exactly  joke release, but did we really need a new release just for this ?

I suppose you have not checked fortress mode, then.
The medical stuff seems to be there, although I have not had any wounded dwarves to see it in action.
Migrants have lots of skills now (at least at times)
Descriptions are very extensive for dwarves (though there is a lot of "somewhat")
Megabeasts do not die during world gen, it seems.
Burrows are there and working.
And these are just the things I noticed until shortly after my first elven caravan (^_^;;

By...by Armok...

The underground is so...so...beautiful.  Are you aware of the gravity of this version?

I'll have to work for weeks to get Dwarfletter working again...

[tigrex]

Thank you, Toady.  May you live forever, and may your beard grow to at least a meter in length.

Did I see a "Number of Demon Types: 52" in the worldgen parameters? *squee*

I hope the site goes back to normal after today, though. Hurts my eyes.


On another note, what's with the weird version number? I like the old system better where it showed the number of reqs and bloats and stuff.

I have an impression that this version works form me under wine better than the previous one.

I have 50 layers to dig through to get there on my site. 50!

Also, about bug reports, it looks like there is a need to fish through some typos.

[Huggz]

RRR I just bought M&B: Warband, doesnt look like that will get played for several weeks...

Anyone who didnt immediately pit 40 naked elves against one adamantine-clad dwarf is an elf-loving hippy...

Also is there a way of checking how many kills someone has in arena mode?

And what is this new skill 'Fighting'?

[Tarran]

Wow, the site went offline for quite some time, oh, new version!

Now, guys, GET WIKI EDITING!

[Darkerson]

Kick Ass! Thank you toady for all the hard work!

[Urist McCheeseMaker]

I loved watching my two dorves in my brand-new barracks, and seeing their equipment menu get checked off while they gathered new gear, and and and... EVERYTHING!

Toady, you may have just ascended to the state of godhood of gaming... either that, or you just plain rock. Either's fine with me, off to play df now.... *mad cackling*

[Zangi]

OMGRELEASEDAYAPOCALYPSE!

Damned forums, but at least I've started to browse around the raw files and screw with arena.  Some noticeable changes.  Alright modding some of it.

Took me awhile to mentally process some of that new creature detail stuff...
Now I can further discriminate based on looks, not just race and personality!  Thanks Toady.

It's obvious you have not played yet, or else you would have noticed the doctors, and the arena, and the new military screen, and..., and..., and..., and...

[LucasUP]

Well done!
I completely expected the download to be the earliest possible version of DF tarn could get his hands on.

Well played April 1st joke. A joke with a very happy end.
Best possible release date ever.
