I'm really only interested in the Fortress Mode and in how advancements improve that. When making the world more detailed (i.e., a functioning economy, political turmoil, armies on the move, etc) makes playing a fortress deeper, more involving and more challenging, I'm all for it. When it involves modeling what material everything is made of, or making realistic models of wildlife migration and breeding (rather than just abstracting that, with similar results) then I don't see the point of it.

I agree and my focus is on Fortress Mode, while Adventurer Mode I'd assume skip.  It makes this current Arc a bit of a bore to me.  I'd be interested in knowing what the ratio is between Fortress/Adventurer folks.  I'm sure there is overlap, but for me I'd like to see Toady focus on Fortress mode fully.

No, clearly kobolds will become a mockingbird.
So it's something like your standard mod then?
... I now have the urge to make that into a mod.
All of it.
I'm starting a timer for ten years. If I can't mod in a battle between time-traveling pirates riding flaming sharks and ninjas that can transform into dinosaurs set to The Final Countdown by then, I'm sending an angry letter.

Don't forget about the lessons about growing up and the human dignity that unites us all...

I have nothing left to live for.

It was so awesome I cried. I'm going to go start a thread in General Discussion for it.
