Heh, don't worry, it's cool if you ask old questions.  Either someone (a.k.a. Footkerchief) can jump in with the answer if it has already been provided, or Toady will group it with similar questions when he gets round to answering here. 

I like your road material question...  When you think about it, just roads in themselves are rather complex; you could change roads based on available resources, skill of local craftsmen, frequency of use, type of traffic, district of the city etc...  I wouldn't expect them to be so fancy just yet, but let's ask anyway...

Will road (and other civil construction) materials vary with local/economic availability and/or class/economic districts within urban areas?

Hang in there Toady One! You can be such a trooper sometimes.

Did i miss something?

Anyway Neonivek is right, hang in there and solutions for all problems will come. Hehe and take a day or two of after the release nobody would mind.

Man! If .32.01 or whatever came out in 3 days iit would be the best birthday present ever. I doubt it will, but you know... wishful thinking.

I still don't think the cities look stupid at all. I remember one of my first experiences with RPGs was Final Fantasy I (or one of the remakes of it, I don't remember). I remember first leaving the starting castle at Corneria and seeing the city was just sort of built around it and being like "Wow! How cool!" Then when I saw these even more cool preliminary city maps my little kid came back for a moment. Then my programmer side pushed him off a cliff and started sitting there amazed with how the cities could be 17x17 and procedurally generated.

These catacombs and severs are fskin' impressive.
Although ASCII here fails to make them creepy and, um, 'ancient'. I don't think monsters alone would help with atmosphere.

CITIES,SEWERS,CATACOMBS AND DUNGEONS?
WOO!

[Knight Otu]

Holy nonexistent material!

Yep, I think those undercities will be great adventuring locations. I do guess they'll get "decorations" depending on their use and inhabitants. Moss, statues, engravings, doors, I'm pretty sure those will be in the actual sewers etc. since we don't see any grates in those two sewers, and we know some sewers will have grates.

Actual werewolves and their like, too? Does that mean Toady thinks he has found a good way to solve the transformation problems he mentioned?

[Vorthon]

Umm, not to be smart-ass know-it-all, but moss needs sunlight. It is a plant, after all.

This is DF, it's probably methane powered moss.

[Serrational]

Hooooly crap.
If the actual catacombs look like that, then I like this coming update.
I LOVE IT.

Heh. Then it wouldn't be a plant.

[scriver]

Those are big! And winding! I'm looking forward to get lost in there while being chased by [powerful beings only awakened when their vast crypts are disturbed] already!

Rivers with walls and floors look lame, also, corridors should be longer. Besides that it looks a bit too bright and not regular enough.

Those 'rivers with walls and floors' are sewer channels. Y'know because of them being in sewers and all that jazz.

I'd rather imagine sewers as more regular and with moss-covered walls and floors(not to mention that nobody would make them out of some kind of white stone...).
And they are shaped in an absolutely useless way...
