Because I can't for some reason log on to the Mantis Tracker, I'll post it here instead. I've had a 1050-year long Age of Myth. I don't think that's supposed to happen. Or is it?

Sooo exited over the new version! Yay DF!

You gotta register first! Also, Yus!

It switches to the Age of Legend after a certain percentage of megabeasts die.  Megabeasts are much harder to kill now, which means that most of them survive to 1050 (the default "End Year" in world gen params), and the age doesn't change.  So this isn't a bug per se.

"Rithi was a forgotten beast.  It was the only one of its kind.  A towring eight-legged quadruped composed of coral.  It appears to be emaciated.  Beware its poisonous vapors!  Rithi was associated with water, deformity and caverns."

Eight... legged... quadruped.  Associated with deformity.  That's some deformity, alright. 

There seem to be a fairly large number of eight-legged quadrupeds running around, actually.

This, however, is my favorite forgotten beast so far:

"Amxu was a forgotten beast.  It was the only one of its kind.  A huge ass composed of salt.  It has an enormous shell and it has a gaunt appearance.  Beware its webs!  Amxu was associated with torture and caverns".

A giant donkey with some sort of shell... made of salt... that spins webs.  Awesome.

Wonderful. =) I leave town ffor three days and the game I have  been waiting for forever gets released while I have no access to my computer. XD I am looking  so foreward to this.

[Hippoman]

So this is that new one thats a complete overhaul right?
Damn, perfect timing for my computer to fry its capacitors.

"A huge ass composed of salt. It has an enormous shell and it has a gaunt appearance.  Beware its webs!".

First thing that I imagined had nothing to do with donkeys and a lot with surrealistic floating certain part of body...

[Hippoman]

where can I find some screenshots of these new features?

I assume that's where you leave footprints in the stone floor

On the screenshot page, where one might expect.

[Hippoman]

Where I did expect. I can't tell if its updated. Then again I only looked at the first 3.

Eight... legged... quadruped.  Associated with deformity.  That's some deformity, alright. 

Maybe it's like the horse things from Avatar (the one with the blue tentacle people), it has eight legs, but they are in pairs and so move together rather then like an arthropod.

Personally, I'm wondering how you can tell if a critter composed of coral is emaciated or not...

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...

After two years the LEAST i expected are some interface improvements, not "doctors" and further growth of unplayability. Arena ? Military ? Who needs it if the dwarves dont attend to their tasks anymore ? I waited for 5 minutes real time for a mechanic to stop lazying around and start making the f-ing mechanisms.

You might want to check the individual temperments of your dwarves. It may be that you just got a dwarf that was really lazy and your only mechanic
