Genning a new world now. I noticed the menu overhaul for labors in Fort mode. Makes toggling your dorfs labors on and off a lot easier.
My world is genning with 10,000 years of legends . Lots and lots of awesomeness is to be expected.

Did you say 10,000? I don't want to know the size of your saves.

ITS OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!



*ahem*

I am SO HAPPY this happened right before my day off. Lets see how many hours of DF I can cram into the next 36...

Go for at least 48. Anything less is undwarven.

New Megaproject: Obsidian Cast Delorean with a Marble/Pitchblende Flux Capacitor, to be dropped down a volcano. Hopefully it will hit 88 before it hits the semimolten rock...

I seem to be able to walk off of the edge of the map in adventure mode when in the over-world view, it crashed when I tried to visit these unknown wastes.

But that doesn't even begin to detract from my sheer joy at this release.

Worldgen seems to be much faster now. Also being able to fine-tune the default world formation is nice.
Usually, the problem has to do with the rivers having to be run about 20 times, which seems to not happen anymore.
Another incredible update.

Wheeeeeeeeee!  Beat one goblin outlaw, traded in his clothes for a crossbow and two stacks of bolts. (Maybe bandits shouldn't have GGS silk clothes?)

Possible bug: I got to this one village/hamlet type thing where all of the inhabitants say "Don't talk to me" when I try to talk, and I get a "You must leave the site to travel" when I press "T".

...and I get a "You must leave the site to travel" when I press "T".

I don't know if that's a bug. Some places you cannot (T)ravel from now and you have to get far enough away first.

Incidentally, how do I locate a shop? I have yet to see one.

Awesome!! I was so excited when I saw the .17 on the homepage!!
Now, if I don't get horribly killed within a few minutes, I'll be disappointed.
Great job Toady!

. . .

I was most certainly not disappointed!! xD

Wooooow! This is so great! Everything works well, the map is very good, and I can actually bite people now!
I wrote out a whole paragraph detailing my adventurer's antics(The first several dying very fast), but I'm not sure people'd bother reading it. It's great fun! Looting bandit camps is just... Well, great.
The aimed attacks add a whole level of strategy to combat, like, 'Quick, I'll bash the spear shaft into their arm, then while they're off balance, I'll ram the spear through their eye!'
Just fantastic!
I haven't found any major bugs yet, either. Great job Toady!

Also: When you get 'You must leave this site to travel', that's not a bug. It's when you're either in an enemy camp, or some other important location like a fortress. I guess the reason the people there wouldn't talk to you is that you've comitted some crime.
That happens in other versions, when you become a criminal, people won't talk to you and you can't fast travel.

[Shrugging Khan]

Spinal Severs! WHEEE!

[Ma88hew]

I just got beaten by bandits. I thought elves were supposed to have wooden weapons! I guess they stole the bronze ones or something.
Adventure mode is now a proper game.
And it also has dwarven difficulty. Yay.

Incidentally, how do I locate a shop? I have yet to see one.

You have to be in one of the yellow colored towns. The shops will have signs next to them.

I put one of my travelling companions out of his misery, then tried to doss down in a human village. A gem cutter woke up, said "Can I help you with something?", added, "Don't talk to me", and then attacked me with a knife.

[Silent_Thunder]

I'd say that citizens need to be nerfed abit, I was screwing around in diety, with rediculous stats, and a butcher one-shot decapped my with a carving knife. Weren't decapps supposed to be made harder?

Ah well, its sorta like wolves of yore ain't it.

[mnjiman]

I have not heard a single complaint with this.


Go Toady Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Khym Chanur]

I'm holding both a crossbow and bolts, but I can't fire anything.  Do I need to put my ammo into a quiver?  I don't remember needing quivers in adv-mode before.

[Rafal99]

Make sure your crossbow-wielding hand isn't holding other things (for example shield or some item you were removing from yourself).


Thanks Toady for all your great work!
I am just going to try the awesome new stuff.
