hum anyone know if it's been answered that eggs will actually hatch into animals, as opposed to being a food product.  Such as birds hatching from eggs, along with possibly dragons?

I think its very likely. As when Toady spoke about Eggs last was in the Dwarf Talk podcast, ane he commented that eggs turning into other creatures should defiantly be going in.

eggs hatching chairs actually and growing into tables... to illustrate the mechanism. :)

...Though I'd think this line of inquiry very usefull in the case of elven settlements. As they don't cut trees, they'll have to somehow harvest saplings and hatch them into chairs and stuff.

about the elven tree thing, I thought that trees would give them limbs (that were injured/damaged/infected etc. and others) in a process that doesn't harm the tree.

I expect eggs to turn into grenades for folks  ;) if we can mod them (*winks at the Great Toad*)

I always thought of the Elves as simply logging in moderation and having druids (presumably standing in for the nature spirit) bless the process. Their main beef with dwarven and human logging is that it cuts in on their monopoly.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.
This could be a handy way of teaching preschool children mathematics.

I see them more having way to much wood, and need to get rid of it all, at knifepoint, if needed.

they just get so pissed off when they see you cutting your own wood, that they throw theirs at you.

I am sigging that. Mainly because it's awesome, and secondly because I'm tired of people getting pissy when i quote something with my name in it.

Elves are allergic to wood, they just don't know how to live outside of the forest. Trading to elves is like when you give some hyper-Tschernobylian mutant cannibalist some plutonium and then wonder why he's suddenly barfing all over your face.

Then how do they tolerate their wooden weapons?

Anybody here read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan? I've always imagined that elves harvest trees in a manner similar to the Ogier, giant peaceful troll-like creatures who have the ability to Treesing. Sung wood is a valuable commodity in universe, and the only time it happens "on screen" it is used to turn a sapling into a quarterstaff, presumably in a way that did not hurt the tree.


That is, when I'm not imagining Elves as some kind of medieval Mafia with a penchant for pine.

All the towns were completely scrapped for a big, slow overhaul. As development continues, the level of complexity in towns will eventually reach and surpass the complexity of towns in older versions.

No we want it now! who cares about development? (joke)

Good series. A bit too short for my taste.

That's what I assumed the elves did as well.
