Eh, it's my failure to communicate.

Have you tried playing with the prototype, by the way? Anything that seems wrong or unentertaining about it?

48 hours with no posts? Neglect to vote and you might get disappointed.

So, I'm beginning to design the final product, with the next DF version likely going to be every bit as stable as it needs to be.

Questions: How many randomly generated night creatures and effects will we want? I prefer to remove bogeymen simply because they tend to detract from the game significantly, but that might not be popular. I also wonder how far we should go with werebeast and vampire curses. Doubling them seems a good plan. What about the rest?

If you remove the night creatures to get rid of Bogeymen, perhaps you could compensate by increasing the number of Megabeasts, Titans, FBs, and Demon types.

Actually they're calculated separately now so removing bogeymen will have no effect on the populations of other forms of nightcreature. Praise Toady!

The succession world files also seem to be free of a serious error I've been having with my other, personal, copy of DF, so I can generate worlds for as long as I wish, ignoring it trying to exceed it's RAM load. I could download the fix for that as well, though, and try to generate a particularly long-lived world while I'm in class.

I'd love to see a vampire covered in several thousand pages of trophy jewelry.

Add me to the list!


You should update the list! , making people verrify they are still watching this, and then update it (same order, just scrapping a few names)

[Tidal]

I'd want on the list, too.

Keep the bogeymen, they're supposed to be part of adventure mode.

But will they appear in our forts if the adventurer walks around in them for a while? if we turn it into a lair, will they appear?

[Spish]

Bogeymen only appear outdoors, and immediately go away if you step inside.

I still don't like the idea of goblins sieging with elfy war animals, or goblin migrants bringing them to fortresses as pets. I'd think goblin players would be perfectly content with just trolls. It's not like non-historical pets don't poof out of existence when you end a fortress, anyway.

I'll be playing goblins and i don't care if they get NO animals at all.
Matter fact, those trolls don't really DO anything it seems. Just eat up my FPS.

[Poindexterity]

list updated.
If i missed ya and ya don't speak up, ya obviously weren't that interested.

Well, if you remember, the main point is to make a world for adventurers, so so long as plenty of unique/cool/interesting/profitable forts are constructed, the gameplay in fortress mode is a more minor concern.

[Eric Blank]

Indeed. Goblins having access to any species has no effect on adventure mdoe to my knowledge (goblins don't even show up except as bandits and to ambush you in their territory, and don't include animals in these ambushes), but we can remove it anyway.
