Goddammit, the bogeymen are god damned untouchable, the freaking asses.
Seriously, how the heck is their evasion so high?

Their [NATURAL_SKILL:DODGING:9] token helps.

I got a question regarding the combination of wrestling and aimed attacks in the new release. Does anyone know if it is planned or already implemented that successfully grabbing a body part increases the chance to hit the same part while it is held? So for example I could grap the head of my opponent with my free hand and then have it easier to stab the head or adjacent body parts (throat) with my short sword in the following round.

I asked that exact same thing a few pages back. I'd put it in green if you want it answered.

I tried it yesterday, I don't think it does.

Not now, but eventually is that the plan?

Regarding castles, what tags or responsibilities would cause a historical figure to become the lord of a castle if we don't want to use VARIABLE_POSITIONS (whether ALL or CUSTOM_CASTLE_HOLDER)? It seems military responsibilities may be a good bet, as the law givers appear there as well, but that's just a quick assumption.

Ive noticed it seems to up overall hit chances and ability to land shots squarely but not anything specific that I have seen...and not by much

Is it just me or do none of the NPC's have families? I've talked to like 10 people and none of them have any family to speak of. Weird. I've only tried people in castles though.

I think they just don't have any historical figures in their families. One Lady in my world told me about her son's death.

Yeah, That was mentioned regarding entity populations. All the information about them is pretty much genned when you talk to them. You can make them historical by trying to kill them, though, or by getting them into a party with you..

I guess that's why none of them get names 'til you speak to them?

It seems all settlements apart from human ones are now gone, probably due to the site sprawl not being ready for them. I can't find any fortresses or towers, and no elven settlements at all.

Replace the tag DARK_FORTRESS or TREE_CITY or CAVE_DETAILED for the other races with CITY. That will give them human-like structures and site sprawl. (but don't do this for kobolds, you want those bastards to live in their stone-age caves)
Of course, this will require you to regenerate the world.

Dwarven cities are properly populated with structures made from underground wood types and their shops stock appropriately sized and civ-related materials on the equipment. It's fucking awsome.
The only problem is that you're likely to spawn ON THE MOUNTAIN as a dwarf civ adventurer, which means you'll have to walk to a non-mountain biome to travel AND that there will be no structures because there's no wood types for mountain biomes AND no farms because stone isn't farmable. (so basically, there's nothing if you start on the mountain) Thankfully you can look at the "Q"uest map to determine the shortest escape route from the mountain.

Really? For me, I've been starting in human villages as a dwarf adventurer. And it isn't just a display bug. If I start attacking them, they become enemies of my home civ, and I become enemies of their civ. Normally you'd just become an enemy of your own home civ.

And yes, as my last two posts suggest, I do often make adventurers just to slaughter my own starting town right when I spawn, or at least see how far I go in the attempt. 31.17 citizens are really tough, especially peasants with their bronze carving knives. My best is 5 citizens, which I only got on demigod by standing outside of a doorway to keep them from swarming me.

Also, these human villages tend to be in very mountainous areas, with maybe one bedless dormitory per plateau area, and a good 10 to 20 z-level difference from top to bottom.

Oh, right. Sorry, I missed that. Long day, I guess.

Eh, what happens if you use an adventurer to make your dwarf civ the enemy of a human civ, then quit and start a fortress that is part of that dwarf civ?  IIRC to get a human siege the two civs have to be at war with each other, but would this make that possible?  Does this kind of political status change after worldgen history?

Playing as a hammerer, I bashed the hydra in the guts. The Hydra Vomited. Do Hydra's vomit from all of their heads at once, or is it just one head and the other heads continue to do their thing?

Generally speaking, this release has piqued my interest into the workings of the Hydra.
