Anyone else notice that there aren't really any new bug introduced this time around?  I'm surprised given the massive content expansion.

There are plenty, I have noticed Prepared Fly Brains.

It's funny because flies are insects. And, hence, bugs.

I'm having a problem getting this new version to run on my mac.  31.16 worked, but 31.17 is giving me this error:
./df: line 5: ./dwarfort.exe: cannot execute binary file

Before you ask, i am computer retarded, so this is probably something I forgot to do or something I'm doing wrong.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Notice there are bugs still from 40d

You are quite correct that there are many bugs present in the game, both varities. My point, however, was that I had observed no new bugs that were introduced in .17.  Given the huge expansion in adventure mode content, I expected more bugs and errors to have slipped in, and was commenting on their lack.  Forgive me if I did not fully explain what I meant earlier. 

Now, if anyone has a newly created bug which you have experienced, that was the original point of my question, which was rather casual in the first place.

Indeed, I'm quite happy that Toady took the time to polish this release till it shone, even though it launched late. There's a reason Valve follows a similar release model.

If this is what we get when we have to wait a month and a half, then by all means may .18 not show up until the new year!

I second this notation.

Generally agreed.  (fourthed?)

Not sure about the Fortress Mode bugs, but there are some adventure mode bugs:
I am pretty sure the shopkeepers deciding your stuff is stolen is a new bug.
So are the weird "sleepwalking" site behaviours, and the weird "animal fortresses", though I haven't encountered those yet.
Also, a am fairly sure it doesn't get as dark at night in certain Bandit Camps, but I haven't checked that one enough to submit a report.

EDIT: oh, and the "there are no darkfortresses/mountainhomes" Dwarves are hella scarce.

I think the valve release model would be more like, we don't get another update for three years and when we do it has everything on the dev pages implemented and no bugs.  Actually that's every professional video game developer.

Also I think the lack of dark fortresses/mountainhomes is more a not yet implemented feature than a bug.

Weapon/spike traps are hosed. They crash upon being triggered

Well, IDEALLY that's every professional video game developer. We've all played games that were rushed out the door too soon, and all games have bugs, no matter how obscure or difficult to reproduce. If Toady was actually following the Valve release model, we would see more gaps like the 40d-2010 gaps.

And yeah, he tore out the dark fortresses/mountainhomes/elven retreats last version to begin building for this version. Its not a bug if he intended it to be that way!

Another reason to try Deon's Genesis mod, with more races. And make armor pieces for yourself from your foes' bones.

[forsaken1111]

Hah, adding this to dwarf and elf civilizations replacing their normal site type really improves adventure mode with those races.

Code: [Select]

[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CITY]
[LIKES_SITE:CITY]
Edit: I started high in the mountains and had to climb down before I could (T)ravel but I have dwarf villages now and stores! Also doing this makes them somehow grow plump helmets above ground...

[Johuotar]

Wait, there are shops in this version?! I havent encountered a single one! O.o

Look for yellow 'town' blocks on the travel map then use the minimap to find the buildings.
