I understand the "Money" and "Genetic" aspect but usually in myth and legend there is actual power in being the son or daughter of someone who is also great.

I just like the dramatic reasons...

[thvaz]

I'm the only one really anxious for this release? I don't know if it's because I really like roguelikes and really hoped for a more fleshed out adventure mode.

Thanks for the answers, Toady.

regarding showing terrain, you don't need lots of color levels, all you need is two:

I'm astounded that we managed to talk so long about ' great lineages' without mentioning Charles the great.

Though in his case it was mostly him being absolutely awesome and his kids just riding on his succes.

Ok if we throw ancient German Emperors into the Object-Testing-Arena (your link is brocken btw.) i choose Frederick the first "Barbarossa" because he has an awesome legend and a beard worth to be called Dwarven.

Also his description in earths legends mode goes like this:

Description of Barbarossa asin the "Friderici I imperatoris"

His character is such that not even those envious of his power can   belittle its praise. His person is well-proportioned. He is shorter than   very tall men, but taller and more noble than men of medium height. His   hair is golden, curling a little above his forehead... His eyes are   sharp and piercing, his beard reddish, his lips delicate... His whole   face is bright and cheerful. His teeth are even and snow-white in   color... Modesty rather than anger causes him to blush frequently. His   shoulders are rather broad, and he is strongly built...

Thus it reveals that this world is just another iterarion of DF.

fixed.

And suddenly the current description system seems a whole lot more awesome.

[KillerClowns]

Yeah, that's one of the main points of the mythology generator, and the answers are intended to be different each time.  It'll take a lot of work and underlying mechanics to make that meaningful, but that's the idea.  We are looking forward to people being at the places they go when they die and being able to visit and so on, like those myths where people try to rescue their loved ones from the land of the dead, and all of whatever else.

Or stubbornly march into the land of the dead with seven dwarves and a caravan.

Is Toady on his month end break?

[Mel_Vixen]

Yes which is good. This way we can maditate over the latest devlogs and he can gather his sanity and Mind for a better and faster dev cycle. Toady deserves some days off and i cant say that the "3 weeks working, 1 week holiday" is a bad one. He also does his month-end-project in this time whatever it is. If you are interested n that there is already a dozen threads on guessing what said project is.   

[thvaz]

I'm asking because he always says on the devlog when he is leaving for his break. He has all the rights of some days of rest, this was not the point of the question.

[Mel_Vixen]

Hey its ok  . Sometimes even toady forgets to announce his montly routine

[Scarpa]

Well apparently he's still working.

These latest updates are making me want to try out adventure mode again. The last time I spent a half hour training throwing and then got killed by the first pack of wolves about 2 minutes after decided to explore.

[darkflagrance]

Hopefully in the actual release the tower will be so chock full of warriors that you can lead an army of your own there for epic fights!

[Footkerchief]

Whoa, those castles are a massive improvement over the current "keeps" etc.  Definitely going to try out the next release.

[Mel_Vixen]

Finaly something worth a "one-man"-siege.
