FFFFF-

Why didn't I notice this sooner? I thought the forum was unusually busy, but I never thought of checking the upper forums or even the dev log.

Oh well. Time to mod me some dwees.

[nbws_tempest]

i'm really looking forward to this, unfortunately i have a bad feeling its gonna run piss slow on my crap top, which runs the last version at like 9 fps, which is horrible

reading the forum, does it work on windows?

Many Congratulations on the release, Toady!
You deserve a hear earned feet-up with a cup of tea.
I shall dub my first Champion after thee.

Just tried out the Arena.  Set up 50 elves with leather armor, pine shields, and pine swords vs. a Grandmaster adamantine-clad dwarf.

Notes to self:
* Make sure you set the elves on a team and the dwarf on a separate team.  Otherwise, the elves will all turn on each other (the default team setting is "independent").  This, while massively entertaining, is not the point of the exercise.
* Greaves are are set, but not boots or gauntlets.  Make sure to give the dwarf 2 boots and 2 gauntlets.

Otherwise, AMAZING!!!1!  I love the combat reports!

so no merge means we can't use our mayday graphics? (I'm at work and I can't load up DF until tonight!!)

[Heron TSG]

Looking at pictures of a world I generated and pictures of worlds others have generated, it seems that most of the world is water, with one big web of land strung across.

Awwww! When's the Mac release coming out? I wanna join the madness too!

IT IS TIME

AAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Damn, elves are weak in adventure mode.
I know wood needs to be weak, but elves are totally fubar, so are their archers, I sat in a triangle of three of them and just held down the wait button for about 15 minutes, then I was surrounded by 20 elves, including swordsmen and spearmen, kept waiting, and ended up with legendary shield skill.
Yeah, they need some boon otherwise adventure mode is going to become stale quickly.
Half the fun was having to train your adventurers up or make forts only meant for making top tier equipment and abandoning them so you could trek through hundreds of traps to get some good equipment.

Also you still can't encase creatures in ice or obsidian and see them in the tile.
Toady, I am slightly disapoint.

I believe on the modding forum, someone (mayday himself maybe?) has already done some graphics converting.  I haven't had a chance to try it out yet though...

On a side note, lemme just toss in my YAY!  New version!

On another side note...alas, still no dual core support it seems.  Genning a large world is still unusually slow, but it did that in the old too, so no real issue there. (probably my fault for making large worlds )

[Earth Striker Lurin]

thanks Tayron, I'll check there and try to find the right area for that.

The site redesign is moving in a nicer direction, but it needs just a little cleaning up, particularly where text contrast and the brown field meeting the background are concerned- those are a little geocities-like.

ALSO DWARVES!!!!11!1

You really weren't kidding about toughening up megabeasts in worldgen. I'm on year 923 of the Age of Myth!

I had to stop it in year 808 when I saw there were only 4000 people alive, compared to the 7000 people a few hundred years prior.

When I got to the Embark screen, I saw that the elves were extinct. Possibly the Goblins as well, but it's possible that Toady has simply chosen not to list the always-hostile races on the neighbor list anymore.

I can't wait to actually fight one in Fort mode.

No, hostile races still get listed.  The goblins are probably extinct, so you might want to gen another world.
