I'm really hoping we get stalkers in this release, because I just know that if it doesn't happen now, it'll get put off forever. Just look what happened to formations. :\

Formations? Like stalactites, or like worker unions?

Military formations.  It was planned for the big 2010 release, but got cut.

If dwarves decided to live in trees like hippies, they'd still do it better than the elves.

Oh man, this multi-Z designation is something we've been needing for a while. Glad it's finally in.

I also wonder whats wrong with keyboard based interface o-o

Nothing, really. It is very efficient for giving commands and quickly navigating static menu system.

But what is terribly sucks for is targeting (placing constructions and drawing them, querying buildings, viewing units, etc...) where you are better off with tool that was designed for this task.

Also, selecting something from list is usually better done with mouse unless you have more advanced aids (similar to what is in manager screen or in bring to trade depot screen).
But we don't have a keyboard-only interface, we just have a predominantly keyboard interface. You can still use the mouse to place the X cursor in most situations, and that will doubtless be expanded as Toady continues (though hopefully expansion to that happens sooner rather than later).

When hilldwarves are in, is there a chance we could end up with a town map like the one you posted, but with our own fortress at the center?
It won't be identical, since the different races (humans, elves dwarves, etc.) are getting unique stuff in army arc. But I'd imagine that's the general idea.

Yes.

it is also japanese slang for 'idol', as they tend to have difficulty with pronouncing the 'el'.

Toady, what are double braids? (Google Image would help)

This question needs to be answered once and for all.

Do you mean the appearance thingie? I always assumed it meant two braids.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
