Lawl.

When're sex-slaves and prostitution being made?</STRONG>

This "honor" should be reserved for the demons that rule each goblin civilization.

...Why am I reminded of all those overexertion deaths I got in NetHack?

Good gravy, that sounds too... CUTE to be in Dwarf Fortress as anything other than an elf civilization.

If my Dune knowledge hasn't failed me, each and every segment of a Shai-Hulud has its own brain, heart, and digestive system.

There's also flatworms and roundworms; being less complex than earthworms, I believe those types of creature can survive bisection.

Really, the worm issue is easy to solve.  Cut them in half lengthwise.  

Its the spongemen that are going to cause problems.

Curse your angular undergarments!  WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!

Dry them out and use them to clean your toilet.

[Inyssius]

Holy crap!

...I had expected this release to be pretty unremarkable (and perhaps even a little regrettable, what with the Great Cliff-Smoothing), but obviously I was mistaken. Excellent!

(Also, I agree with Dae and McDoomhammer--those bugs are awesome. Please don't erase that behavior completely.)

This, combined with your signature's claim made me feel a bit queasy...

A while ago I tried the religion and relationships release, and I was thinking "whoa, this is awesome. A huge improvement." Now I'm thinking it again. Gotta say, Toady, you know how to make a damn good game.

It's scary to think that the average Joe NPC is going to have so much possible backstory. The sons and daughters of heroes may walk amongst us in seemingly average towns.

[McDoomhammer]

Agreed with Boski.

Ha ha! I love that. The old "flogged, shot, and then flogged again for good measure" comes to mind.

you caught me! brilliant game, never completed it in singkle player simnply because multiplayer was so much easier

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see cosmetic changes as all that exciting. Having a family tree and belonging to a religion doesn't have any impact on the NPCs' lives yet, and the religious "spheres" mean nothing so far. The fact that a random caption was picked for an NPC's execution (e.g. Urist was fed to beasts) has no cause or impact on the universe, and offers nothing to do in-game (there is no coded behavior for drowning, burying or crucifying adversaries as opposed to killing them at this time). I'll be really thrilled if or when all these execution methods are somehow integrated into the overall game, but right now, only a handful of text descriptions have been added in.

That's what the release after this one will be about. Integrating everything with the gameplay.
