How about being one of the dwarves in your fortress (or in any other one)? I would like to be a specific dwarf in my fortress such as a miner, jeweler, or crafter and control him and his social life FIRST HAND.

Guys again. Suggestions ... if they lead to longer discussions should go to the suggestions forum.

But how are we supposed to get to one thousand pages without these long discussions?

Instead of waiting for them to finish their drinking session, you walk in and crush a goblet while berating their disgusting behaviour and general incompetence.

we just reached page 51. I dont think we get to page 1000 for another year or so - with or without such discussions here.

Page 101 for me, so that'll only take six months.

Its happened before, every time we go awhile without an update. Yes, awhile seems to be getting to about 3 days, but we haven't had a release in a bit. Its that or have the thread go quiet.

Will random illnesses be implemented in fortress mode anytime soon? e.g dwarves can catch a cold/get pneumonia.

Will you be working exclusively on the economy during the winter months, or will there be small , but effective, improvements to adventure mode gameplay?
Such as allowing for a dwarf to perform (provisionary) medical acts on himself or restacking coins.

the december report indicated that the "army arc is on the horizon". So I doubt the economy will be the focus all winter. And the current dev goals are focused around adv mode, so you should be fine. This caravan thing is just jointly applicable to fortress mode.

"the horizon" in this case means "when we're done with this other stuff", which could easily end up being spring or even summer. Although what it is for you depends on where you live, I suppose. It will probably not be winter for me because winter is very short here, for example.
