I would also suggest that many ramps are actually single direction staircases, such as you would find in front of your local library, or perhaps in a government building. Of course, I suggest this because I do not want to deprive my dwarves of stairs entirely, given my dislike for the aforementioned Antigravity Tubes.

So you'd rather that parts of your fortress be ADA non-compliant for no reason?

Hey, I have a reason! I hate cripples!

It's been a while since the blog was updated. Anyone else think he's gonna surprise release it on Halloween? It would be rather appropriate, given the Night Creatures and their as-of-yet unknown features.

Well as long we can trick and magma-treat our nobles i am all for it

[monk12]

Oh god, my system can't take a simultaneous Minecraft and DF release!

FAKEEDIT: Apparently I dont have to work November First. BRING IT ON!

[thvaz]

Well, if you don't remember, Toady released 0.31.01 on April 1st...

[Mel_Vixen]

Heh hey Minecraft got the Multiplayer stuff nailed and Df the fantasy world simulation. The Halloween release? A version of Minecraft with a interface for Df on a server or how i like to call it: "WoW:Ascii"

A few blog quotes and Toady posts here seemed to imply (to me, anyway) that we'd get a release around the end of the month, so Halloween might be a possibility. If not that, then probably early November.

[Rockphed]

Yeah, I figure he postponed the month end break to get the current stuff in and ready for use so we can start finding all the hilarious bugs.  We know he slightly postponed it anyway(didn't he post a blog on the 27th), so either he won't start working until the 4th, or he is pushing through whatever mad schemes he has while the ideas are fresh.

[darkflagrance]

If you think about it, an update about creatures of the night and other gothic horrors would seem appropriate for Halloween.

Top Secret Halloween update, sounds good to me.  I just want working world gen with cities and towns.  Even though I like the Idea of leading seiges, it really isn't necissary... Although taking the fight to the elves would be amusing.

I just hope a fIXED VERSION Is soon. Damn capslock...

I wonder if the castly places will have loot. Like weapons n'stuff.

[Untelligent]

Later, yes. Now, almost certainly no. Unless you count the things the guards are using. That should be plenty of loot for now.

All ramps are also 45 degrees. Pushing a seige engine (let alone a tower) up that would be... terribly difficult.

Only if we assume tiles are cubes. That isn't necessarily true. Although I suspect any attempt to deduce the actual dimensions would only lead to weirdness. As far as I know, the official size is still "large enough 100 dragons, as long as 99 are lying down".

I seem to recall Toady actually giving a size estimate for a historical building that also appears in the game.  I don't remember if he actually said how big tiles generally are, but I think he mentioned it.  At any rate, it isn't "large enough for 100 dragons...", it is "large enough for nigh infinite dragons, as long as all but 1 are lying down."

Awesome. So bandits are in. And goblins bandits as well.
Will bandits attack in fortress mode? There will be multiracial bands?

It is a pity we wont have a release though. I was really expecting it today.
