I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for 2 years and I've still never seen a mermaid, yet y'all are talking about ways to "farm" them.
Would anyone seriously breed merpeople in hopes of a merperson bone industry? Even with the inter-pool breeding method, that's like 4 years to complete a harvest.

I think you might have clicked on the wrong thread, hehe.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;20971630]200 posts? Pfft.
If the new version actually came out we'd go through 3 threads in 12 hours.

And all of the posts would just be saying how awesome it is.[/QUOTE]
Or what a buggy piece of crap it is and how we wished he'd have taken the time to fix shit before releasing it. :D

As it appears, it is year 50 and a titan named The Cyclopean Lens-Lesson has survived from year 1 to year 50 by killing 5 elves, a dwarf, a human and a goblin. Interesting. He will be the main target of my adventures, along with getting rid of the overpopulation of elven forest retreats everywhere.

I enter the realm of The Future Planet and talk to a local hammerdwarf, finding out that they've been ruled over by a single dwarf for 50 years straight. I wonder if he's just an useless noble or an actually powerful warrior that has seen many battles in his life? I hope for the latter. In any case, I must help the last remaining dwarven civilization in this world.

As I enter the fortress of The Copper Anvil, I hear distant voices of battle. I enter the building, and find that there's a trogdolyte invasion! The lone hammerdwarf bravely fights off the foe with fierce, but I feel obligated to help him in his task.
[URL]http://i39.tinypic.com/2nvz6dh.png[/URL]
I proceed to strangle the trogdolyte, keeping him still while my fellow dwarf continues to lecture him with his hammer! Even the local brave fisherman is helping the right cause by targeting the trogdolyte's limbs and breaking them apart one by one.

What a bloodfest! There's blood spattering everywhere!
[URL]http://i42.tinypic.com/1z4hke8.png[/URL]
The final blow is delivered by the hammerdwarf, striking the trogdolyte down once for all, and filling me up with awe towards this civilization. I am now fully convinced that I must help this fortress to shine upon the lands of The Future Planet!

As of more research, it appears that Monom, the dwarf that has ruled for 50 years, is in fact a queen! This is no petty civilization.

You can farm them like Tower-caps.
You just need some irrigation.

Stop speaking such heresy against the great Toady One! :black101:
There's a blasted full-scale trogdolyte invasion in the underground fortress, Armok christ. Trogdolytes killing EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE.
[QUOTE=helpiminabox;20972030]Are you sure you clicked the right thread?[/QUOTE]
Of course I clicked the right thread.
Read it again...
Well if it was a joke it wasn't very good.
No... no, it was a failed attempt to salvage my pride after that dreadful "wrong thread" incident.
The source of trogdolytes and animalmen have been discovered, a huge ass chasm right next to the fortress. I shall set it as my personal objective to slaughter all the fiends that dwell in that chasm.

Holy shit, fucking elves.
Fuck yes.
Holidays have started, and DF is surely coming out tommorow, the 27th, as I predicted.

Holidays start next Wednesday / Thursday for us Brits.
I am a Brit :3
[B]New devlog AND RELEASE DATE[/B]
[quote]Fixed a crash related to vermin getting caught in cobwebs, and another series of crashes related to temperature. The conditions for the different landed nobility to be elevated from your fortress population are in the raws now, as are megabeast and semimegabeast and titan attack conditions. They can be set based on population, exported wealth and created wealth. So, for instance, if you run a low-population fort for whatever reason, you can adjust the numbers. This came up during the course of debugging the landed nobility... and it turned out the liaison was not coming back in subsequent years because the visiting dwarf lost the position upon leaving the map... anyway, that's sorted out.
[B]The current situation is that I expect a (buggy!) Windows release in about a week, with the 40d# merge commencing at that time (or within a few days of the release). This is a bit of a change of plan, since I was originally going to release for all operating systems at once, but I feel like I'm going to get even more bogged down if I don't do it this way and the initial pre-merge release will give us a control to work with in the same way that 40d can be compared to 40d#. The initial merge release shouldn't take too long though, and it will be the top priority aside from the worst catastrophic crashes and things of that nature. I know the merge changes make the game playable for many of you when it otherwise isn't.[/B][/quote]
FINALLY A RELEASE DATE FOR SURE FROM TOADY
a week, fuck.
So within a week?
awesome
Who had April 2nd?
A winner is (possibly!) you.
A week? Well at least he choose a proper week to release since holidays start on Thursday.
[QUOTE=Edthefirst;20973166]A week? Well at least he choose a proper week to release since holidays start on Thursday.[/QUOTE]
Actually for some people the holidays start today.

[QUOTE=Nenghis;20973408]Holy fuck! It's only a week!

... The discovery came to late for Nenghis, and everyone else that loves DF, that Toady runs on Valve Time.
And the 40d## merge is delayed from the initial release as expected. Doesn't matter much to me as it runs almost the same speed on both because of my shitty graphics card (slightly faster on ## but not much).
See I was right! I didn't quite win the specific day bet but I was right in saying "If it's not this month it's next month"
T_T my holidays end this weekend, fuck.
one week....
damn.
Uncovered 2 large coal veins, and five large veins of gold.
I am so going to make a pyramid with a gold top now, with steel obelisks flanking its sides.
You can't see it, but I'm saluting and shedding a single, manly tear. Never stop being dwarvenly.
QUICKVOTE TIME.
Everyone gets one. The most voted on person, will get a "special"position in my new Story fort, and boy do i have a good one.

And, of course, no self votes.
