This. We don't care about your off-topic rants.

Toady has been updating with only a 5 day interval.
I'm worried about starting a Fortress only to see a new update being flung out.

*Rubs beard*
I guess I could... well, no. I don't trust porting.

Advice?

I've been copying saves from version to version since about 0.31.04 or so.
It works fine. Don't be afraid to fall in love.

They've been doing big releases followed by small bugfixes.  Note that 0.31.16 and 0.31.17 were 5 weeks apart.  Now they're working on another big release.  It'll be weeks, at least.  Also, yeah, transferring saves works fine.

   (*)updated dwarf party organization conditions

Does this mean that ghosts won't organize parties anymore?  I kind of liked that bug.

I was really hoping that would be an ascended bug, based on the community response. I don't recall seeing a lot of negative response to it; and it seemed like the sort of whimsical thing that you occasionally/rarely come across in DF.

I still find Dwarf Fortress better, you don't pay for the game, and you can never EVER get bored with it.

My opinion, DF at 90 fps is a Game of the highest class, and at 40 fps a "background activity". It's a huge difference to me.
What helps with DF boredom, is trying different challenges like "never dig" or "never build traps or walls". Also, I can add new wildlife and foes to the game myself!

My dwarves don't get stuck in left right gauntlet mixups.  And danger rooms now put basic training weapons through your dwarves brain through his shoe.... yea thats a weird one, make me think Vlad the Impaler.

   (*)made master pikemen get proper skill

By any chance were they previously getting the "Axeman" skill instead? Because when I was playing around with 0.23.130.23a (the old 2D version) and writing a Dwarf Therapist-type tool for it, I found that Goblin Pikemasters were, in fact, being given Great Axeman skill rather than Great Pikeman skill.

Hey, please, keep the Df vs MC out of this topic, instead, fight here!

I recently embarked on a haunted biome, the first time in a long while and probably the second time that I'm trying an evil biome overall. I'm not very familiar with how such things go, but are skeletal creatures supposed to just up and vaporize without leaving a corpse when they are destroyed?

I know that the tracker has a still-active bug report from .06 that skeletal creatures aren't always being counted as kills (maybe a side effect of the "HP damage" workaround for killing them?), but there is nothing that I found relating directly to their lack of remains.

DF rocks

btw i just found out that its possible again to trade animals in cages .. yaaaay .. at least my captured wild horse in a cage got hauled with the cage to the market

PS: it seems it only works with actually tameable creatures ..  when i tried to sell of the captured buzzards that i cant tame (not modded this time) it escaped and wreaked havoc^^

[Drifton]

Thanks again Toady for the great game

   (*)changed a few two-handed weapon sizes

Does this mean that pikedwarves will now be able to use pikes ?
