That sounds awesome!

...but, um, it still isn't working on Mac OS 10.4.11. Same old error message I've been getting since 0.31.13. Any news on that front?

If you got a PPC: DF has dropped PPC support from .13 on.

And on top of that, versions .12 and earlier aren't available due to licensing issues.

Has anyone seen dwarves or elves yet? All I've seen so far is humans, even when I don't start as a human adventurer. This is with 3 different worlds too so i don't think elves and dwarves gotten completely wiped out

I heard your like sieges so I put a Goblin fortress in your fortress so you could siege while besieged.

So, I found a night creature's lair. This one guy was scattered all over it, mostly cooked and prepared. That was unnerving, to say the least.

As far as I can tell, "Sleep!" is the last in the sleep depravation chain, but I was killed by Bogeymen not too long after, so perhaps it isn't.

Oh, and the "You feel uneasy." meassage makes random encounters much more nerve wracking than before. Once, I went looking for whatever it was and came back to find my travelling companion surrounded by dead Giant Jaguar. Once, I went looking for my attacker-to-be and found nothing, which was creepy as all hell.

When I talk to a peasant, the game refers to me as my profession, instead of my name.


Talking to the Peasant Getak X

You begin a conversation with the Peasant Getak X
Pikeman: Hello Getak
Getak X, Peasant: It is good to see you.
Getak X, Peasant: Don't travel alone at night, or the bogeyman will get you.

etc.

wait, something's fishy:

aren't aimed attack supposed to use specific skill + fighting skill to roll the attack chance/damage?

so why it shows the same chance for slashing with sword (as a competent swordman) and biting (as a dabbling biter) for the same part?

Oh my god! This is exactly what adventure mode needed. The night creatures and castles are nice additions, but what really sells this version are the small improvements - improved character customization, new travel map, NPCs remembering you... this is truly marvelous.

The last five releases have been a day or two after I finally get time to have a marathon session!

Thanks again Toady for keeping me on my toes and making me nervous and excited of a new release every time I indulge!  ;D

Something makes me think I will be busy again for the next few days...   ;)
