:( There is almost no where to embark, the map is starting to look more like modern times...

Maybe it is just the world I gen'd but the map is 2/3's full save some fields and glaciers. Still haven't found a mountain that is embarkable.

And worse is that there's nothing interesting in the towns. :( I'll come back when it's all ironed out and/or there's more information on the changes.

Huh. Interesting. I don't see any real changes to the entity raws other than the population increase.

Does this mean that all of the new off-site population methods are controlled by the site type?

Seconding this question. The entity_default.txt file seems to have changes (has a new date) though I can't find the actual changes in it.

And here I thought .12 was fast. Small island up and running in 15 seconds. ON A LOW-POWER NETBOOK.

EDIT: There is the problem that in adventure mode, it hangs every ~40 steps I take, and runs perfectly fast when not hanging.

I just got a migrant who is Adequate in the skill Military Tactics. I am... intrigued and perplexed.

I don't see any changes in skills compared to before when looking through my old dwarves...

For the SDL license, could you include a "about.txt" file in the archive rather than recompiling all the old versions?

In the farmland houses, are there supposed to be twelve or so humans just standing around (including one always blocking the entrance)?  That seems rather cramped.

   (*)made cursor center on buildings properly when linking them up to a lever etc.
   (*)made units check the validity of targets more often (counters certain interrupt spam)
   (*)make rock short swords use the proper material for the final product

+Obsidian short sword+ finally what it says on the tin? Awesome.

I might want to test .13 to see if embark everywhere still works... and or the silly stuff that is in it from a force embark.
other than that gutted adventure mode seems kinda a pass to me.

I've noticed a river/stream that is one Z level higher than most of the surrounding terrain.

It has a 1 tile wall around it, with no ramps to get on top, which is how I noticed it while bumbling around as an adventurer wondering why there seemed to be no people in the world.  I will preserve the save if it matters at all.

Diso Faintpuzzles was born in 120.  Although accounts vary it is universally agreed that Diso was chosen by fate as the vanguard of destiny.

In the early spring of 143 Diso began wandering the wilds.

In the early spring of 143 Diso starved to death in the Horn of Striking.

Hmmm, this is weird. The first volcano I found on the first map I genned on this release (haven't changed any files at all). Think theres an aquifer as well. Anybody else had this happen to them before? Or is this normal.

EDIT: had the pics in the wrong order
EDIT 2: It does go back into the mountain after 10 levels tho.



Yes, do a search in the forum for "WORLD_GEN" and you will find someone who found a volcano that extended 82 z-levels above level 0, and the tube was the same shape, it seems...

Well, adventure mode is working faster than ever. I've noticed that the furrowed clay fields seem to be very haphazard- little single tiled patches dotting the landscape. And I, too, have found that every mountain tile is a mountain hall.


Also, the truetype etc. is buggy and weird, but that's been warned about, and to be expected.

Just the fix to the lever linkage makes this release the best one ever.  Seriously.  I'm happier about that than I was about going to 3D :D

So of all the things you can do in DF, it's the fractal artifacts that make you think dwarves are crazy.

Never mind the magma falls, the atom smashers, the cog-and-axle turing-complete computers, or the colonizing of Hell itself... all those are fine, but man, those recursive artifacts! Where do they get such ideas?

I'm getting crashed during the opening movie.  If I skip it, the game runs just fine.  Love the new font support, can't wait until it's all nailed down.
