If I read that right, there's a chance of finding a were-crundle...

Armok help us all.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Don't let the trolls prove otherwise: there's lots of good, helpful people here.  This is one of my favorite forums for that reason.

I bet it's because all the trolls smash supports and cave-in chunks of masonry on their heads.

IT MADE SENSE IN MY HEAD! And it's not like this thread is staying on topic...

Please, please, please, let that annoying little detail die. Also, if anyone starts asking what this "annoying little detail is", nobody answer. If someone does, I'll strangle them with the second "o" in my name.

It sort-of made sense in my head as well. Would have been better if it had been the answer to something by the lines of "Why are there so few trolls around here?"

Hmm, ~11 days. GreatWyrmGold, you still need practice.

Why trolls never get here? Because we are a few hundred Z levels too high for them :]
This forum is hidden on a mountain know as Mt. Dwarf Fortress.
Only the strong and patient get far enough to see it.

Few trolls? These days it seems like every other thread has Toady warning people that he's deleted a wall of posts and not to screw things up again.

THE MORE YOU PEOPLE DO THIS THE LONGER IT WILL BE BEFORE REAL WEREWOLVES

Trolls can't defile what's already evil.

[Oliolli]

Hmm, maybe weretrolls are moving into Bay 12. How many of you have been bitten by a troll in the last half year?

[Blue_Dwarf]

How can we be certain that the next release has not been released yet? My baron already demands a capybara bone coffin in his dining room. Granted, he's not a count, but he used to be...

[Oliolli]

Magma him, just to be safe. Baron von Dracula is not welcome.

The one thing I'm most excited for in the next update is the ability to designate across Z-levels. Yay, no more spending 30 minutes designating pumpstacks!

[Tanelorn]

Will there be any changes to the trade/caravan system in the next release? I believe Toady has created trade links between cities and smaller sites.

Will that have any effect on fortress mode?

Not me, bro.  I was bitten at least 8 months ago.

[Oliolli]

Hmm, this may be serious.

The next time a full moon is coming, lock yourself into a small room from which it is impossible to escape. Then set up a video camera into the room so that it records whatever happens in the room. If you turn into a troll, you know you are a were-troll, and you should apply magma first thing in the morning.

The more relevant detail is that each city has a 'stockpile' of goods now and so caravans visiting your fort will probably be pulling items out of that finite (albeit very abundant) stockpile. The trade links mean those stockpiles will include non-native products too, so there will be less instances of "we don't have this product for you to buy".

Ultimately though, probably not much effect yet. This is all just preparation for making time move outside your fortress in the future. When that happens, then you will feel the impact of market saturation and other such economic events.

Caravan arc release 5: the release of "stone mugs are no longer 100% viable as the only trade product".
