In regards to 'proper burial', I was thinking that if you do a particularly good job with a dwarfs burial, it would be fun if something good might actually happen ever so rarely. Maybe some legendary ancestor could pop in and start making an artifact, or some ancient warrior could warp in and save some fisherman who's been ambushed.

I don't think we need any more bonuses in DF mode, game is too easy as is.

I could see this being appropriate in Good-aligned areas.

Which had darn well better have their own dangers, too, of course.

I mean something rare, just for flavor. Nothing you could count on.

Toady you promised something more "postable"  i some how cant find it.

Apparently he meant he was going to WORK on more postable stuff, meaning stuff that doesn't involve spoilerificness.  He might not necessarily have anything interesting to post for a little bit.

I'd like to take this time to thank you Toady for answering our questions an unfathomable amount of times.

[Osmosis Jones]

Hear hear!

I love that there is now a mechanic in-game that can explain the high number of undead creatures in evil biomes, assuming that that that is the incentive towards proper burial Toady is talking about.

ghosts would be pretty groovy too. One reason for them haunting your fort could be a lack of mourning and/or gravegoodies.
(in killed forts all recent corpses would lack for both...or at least never get to lie in their assigned tombs leading to abandoned forts being full of ghosts. Or just a few, if the downfall was more gradual. :grin: )

We'll see in due time.

Any way of following a topic without posting a useless comment?

... Oh, wait.

[G-Flex]

Yes. The "notify" button.

[nbonaparte]

that sends an email. most people only want it in 'new replies', especially fast moving, long term threads like this one.

[Untelligent]

In that case, all you have to do is click the topic and then a little "new" icon will show up next to it when there's new posts.

[James.Denholm]

But then it doesn't show up in the "Show new replies to your posts" function of the forum, does it?

[Untelligent]

Eh, I've never used that before.

[Beardless]

I really wish people would use the Notify button if they have nothing to say. It's only two clicks (no typing involved!), and less annoying for others. Note that you can change your settings so that only one email is sent per week. I think that's a reasonable trade-off.
