I wasn't comparing it to spore, I was contrasting it with spore. The term 'massively singleplayer' can mean different things. In DF, that just means a computer made world of depth akin to an MMO. The other meaning is using online content from different people in a single player game.

My thanks for answering the questions as well, the transparency into you dev process is greatly appreciated.
This confirms my suspicions about megathreads, that they should focus on organization and suggesting ideas of how already suggested items could fit together.
Thanks again sir!

There are at least 3 (very short) threads about this  in Suggestions, but I'll ask it here, because who knows, maybe it will suddenly happen.

Is there a chance that we will be able to give custom names to squads in the next release?

I don't think it would be difficult to implement, and the ability to name a squad "Entrance Guard" or "1st Axedwarves" instead of something like "The Rusty Shovels" would make squad management significantly easier.

And you ask this after Toady just explicitly skipped answering questions that were suggestions.

[jimi12]

Toady, with human civs planned to be playable in the future, I was wondering how they would differ from playing dwarves. It seems like they would be about the same since you have mentioned that humans will be capable of making steel if they have the right materials.

[thvaz]

Playable human civs are well beyond the planned DF 1.0. Even Toady can only guess how they will be implemented.

[Lord Shonus]

Human civs are playable right now with a minor mod.

[thvaz]

I think the question was about whenever Toady makes human civs playables, with characteristics unique to them.

[Untelligent]

Yeah, you can make humans playable but they're basically the same as dwarves without a few things, unless you mod those in, in which case they're almost entirely the same as dwarves. Making them playable in vanilla would probably require some new, unique features for them to make them interesting.

[jimi12]

Yeah I realize it's not an immediate concern. I was just wondering if he had any ideas on how playing them would be different from dwarves.

[thvaz]

These kinds of questions fits better on DF Talk.

[MrWiggles]

Yea, send the the question to DF talk, with more open wording.

Like, what do you see as differences between Elves and Humans when their fort mode is part of the vanilla game. I think that can stir up some nifty conversation.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Will kobolds lay eggs, as was joked in (I believe) the last DF Talk?

[PTTG??]

You know, Kobolds laying eggs kinda works. Actually...

Kobolds are known for stealing. Here's a potential reason why;

Consider a Kobold nest While the eggs may be safe from predators, if hidden well in a good cave, they are not safe from a different Kobold clan, especially if they are left there while the parents forage and scavange. Now, what clan would be larger- one that respects property rights, or one that collects any old eggs they happen to see lying around?

[Urist Imiknorris]

I would love to see a kobold hatch a roc by mistake.
