I just wanna say I'm really looking forward to all of this.

[tfaal]

Can we make subtle region curses? I'd like to see little hamlets full of backwards, mutated townsfolk.

[scriver]

Thanks again for all the answers Toady, and also thanks for all the close updates lately!

[Cruxador]

You know I don't think we're really on the topic of "Better town maps involving workshops/markets/shops based on world gen economic activities" any more.

[Osmosis Jones]

Man, this stuff sounds really cool

A question, though;
Have you settled on what these 'secrets' will allow? Would you pretty please be able to post a list (so, immortality, raising and binding undead, rapid healing, etc)?

Cheers oh mighty Toad!

The necromancer stuff sounds interesting.
Toady, will necromancy be possible in the Arena?
That seems like it could lead to some interesting battles.

Will curses/syndromes be curable in a way that does not kill the person who is cursed? For instance, if a gang of werewolves attacks my fort, can I trap them and then apply some cure, turning them into normal dwarves/humans/etc which could then be friendly and join my fort?

Well, once we had the cities we needed stuff to fight in the cities, and that means new night creatures to Toady. And new night creatures needed a new curse framework which led to interactions and yeah, it's a bit of a feature creep. I highly doubt that you or anyone else is sincerely complaining though, since it's also awesome.

How often do you currently check out suggestions forum?

[Megaman3321]

With the advent of necromancy, will it be possible to use necromancer's powers to recruit ghosts on quests of revenge?

Oh, and another question: Will it be possible to get quests of revenge from your old dead adventurers for in exchange for the dead adventurer's equipment?

Oh wow, the opportunities. Tags like water-breathing... wide-area curses... The first thing to do, obviously, is mod the various weather and water spheres to bestow a curse that gives everyone gills.

Getting a little Innsmouth in here.

My first thought was "Little Brittain".

Anyhow, knowing a Secret could turn having a Curse into a Power.
n.b. Like being infected with undead curse X makes you a mindless zombie on death, however knowing the secret of  how to preserve one's soul in a container allows one to preserve the mind. (like Ad&d Ghouls) Collecting knowledge of preserving meat, binding woulds or tachidermy could allow becoming a mummy.

So many threads get derailed as soon as someone brings up multithreading.

When will the forums support multithreading?

It is awesome, but I'd still rather we didn't get into long releases, and Toady has that he doesn't want to either. And this release is heading towards being long.

I don't think it's going to have any level dynamic stuff like that in the near future. Maybe when we get to Magic arc.

This caused me to laugh until I coughed. Congratulations, good sir.
