After downloading .17, can you play a fort created in .16?

[Lord Darkstar]

Thanks Toady! I look forward to a weekend lost in this new version of DF!

[Di]

Oh god, bogeymen, they keep spawning through the night and there's nowhere to run.
All hail the toad and fear the night!

[Dante]

Toady did give the cryptic warning that we better give proper treatment to dwarf corpses in fortress mode now or else Something will happen. He also said there were new Spoilers for this version which he obviously could not give details of. Time for someone to be very unrespective of the dead and see what happens!

I've found a bit out here.
For more details, and spoilers, see the end of this thread.

pick a spot you can (more) easily move around in, with some trees or something. Make a stand! dance circles around them 'till morning!

or do this:

OH YEAH! that feels good. Wonder if it'll fade away come morning?
EDIT: ok, or pretty much immediately. I have saved frozen bogeymen blood for smoke-bombs.

EDITx2:
Smokin' Bogeyman Bits! Oh yeah!

I have not been able to play my save from .16 in 3.17.  It loads, then crashes after a few mins:  bug report

So have a go, and see if you get a crash after a few mins too.  Might help narrow down whats happening.

[lordnincompoop]

You've done it yet again, Toady!

Thanks for the update. I'll have some mighty fun playing this.

"Young Rack of Shadows"...that must be a pretty impressive rack for them to make that her hero name...  "hey!  Nice Ra...", "If you say 'nice rack' I'll jam this sword through your eye!", "...Nice...Weather...yeah, not too bad...well, a tad nipply tho..." *sworded*

My adventurer, after many missions which involved lots of my commpanions dying, has been given the title "The Blameless Head of Assembling"
Well at least they don't think its my fault when I drag them to their death.

Also is there any way to unjoin companions? I noticed a guy in my team had lost a leg in the last ambush. I tried to get him to stay behind at the fort so he could recuperate, but he was still eager to get out on another adventure.

One other thing. When I find a nice shield, I pick it up and automatically put it in my backpack. Then if I take it out and try to put it back in I ge tthe message "no suitable container" so I end up carrying 2 shields around in 1 hand.

Oh my god YES.

OMG You have just managed to surpass Notch in the Godly Lands! Praise to be Toady The Great's!!!
 

Spoiler: I wonder... (click to show/hide)

... if Toady has made a pact with Armok to make EVERY release awesome to the point where people crap themselves upon seeing this for the first time (and every patch day...)

[Meanmelter]

Wish there was something to do about these bogeymen...*Gets an Idea*


Dwarf/Man/Elf/Goblin -kind depended on this item for a long time, we need them again!

[SanDiego]

Ehh, screw molecular genetics, getting ripped to shreds by bogeymen is WAY better.

Btw, I scratched bogeyman so hard I bruised it's guts.

[Meanmelter]

You managed to injure one! All I ever do is fail at hitting them.

[TherosPherae]

It never fails. Every time I get bored enough to start modding, Toady comes out with a new release 2 days later.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to re-mod lightsabers and food-on-a-stick.
