Actually game just misses one of vital params of penetration calculation. Crossbow bolt could penetrate plate on perfect 90 degrees to armor surface angle. But would be deflected on lower angles.

That.

We can argue about crossbows vs plate armor from different time periods all we want, but we should agree that the current implementation needs work - there is NO difference between wearing full plate armor and being completely naked against crossbows right now.

I think that everyone can also agree that it's a huge improvement that marksdorfs are no longer hammer dwarves in disguise.

Have you been forbidding any rock (or whatever the material is, or perhaps the item is getting moved somehow? That could do it.

I'm seeing relatively recent construction orders getting cancelled, even though I haven't ordered any stone dumps since their issuance.  Not sure what else would cause rock to move around... and isn't that normally grounds for suspension rather than order removal?

Wow, in .31.10 I have citizens actually teaching and attending dodging and striking demonstrations! (I embark with some dodging skills.)

And "scheduled order" 3 train instead of 10, they actually left the barracks to do civilian stuff!

Bummer, after freeing the barracks-rack, the militia commander seems to wait forever for "Go to dodging demonstration". (Hmm, guess she's pretty injured.)

I think I found a bug. I think.

Every time my adventurer punches animals in the head, 'jamming the skull through the brain and tearing apart the brain!', resulting in of course, death.

A specific Bolt's ability to punch through Plate armor should be dependent on the material the bolt is made of VS the material the Plate armor is composed of, assuming it hits.

My adventurer died to an elf-pileup, they punched adv's skull in.
Wooden sword vanilla elf, cannot hurt people through robes and some other fiber clothes. Wooden spear does bruise through clothes.

Thanks for another release toady =)

Ugh, so I haven't been keeping up with this, last time I was on was version 31.04.


Basically I want to know how is surgery doing? Has Toady fixed that up a bit? Last I heard it was bugged up the wazoo, and the wiki doesn't mention much.

As far as I recall pretty much everything that had been causing problems with the hospital system is now fixed.  I haven't tested everything out myself yet but I have seen a number of success stories.

It already tracks this, actually.  Toady has often referred to the "squareness" of a strike.

e: oops, double post

The major surgery bug was fixed in 31.07.  If you're using a save from a version before 31.07, you may have to rebuild all your tables to make surgery work properly.  A fresh fortress should have no problems, though.

Okay sweet. New fortress time then, since apparently my old one has been lost in the clutter of my hard drive. May be entirely gone, who knows?

Not me!

There are still some hospital issues (won't stock plaster powder, won't apply casts), but they're not game-breakers.

wasnt there something about you have to switch how they are stored or something? Barrel to bin or bin to barrel.
