[B]MAXIMUM OVERHYPE 2: URIST MCBOOGALOO[/B]
I am gonna climb [I]everything[/I]
I am going to kill the [i]shit[/i] out of so many new forts.
I'm gonna have so much fun with the new update.
I am going to train a dwarven legion of evil to defeat whatever game breakingly over-powered creature plagues this version!
PRAISE BE
IT'S FINALLY COMING.
I CANT WAIT FOR THE BUGS
AND DECEIVINGLY POWERFUL SMALL ANIMALS
[QUOTE=Liem;45269380]AND DECEIVINGLY POWERFUL SMALL ANIMALS[/QUOTE]
If I don't come across a chicken or something equally unassuming that rips me to pieces practically instantly I'll be severely disappointed.

I once embarked in an evil biome with a bunch of rabbits I had intended to keep as livestock and while I was digging out the fortress a cloud rolled by and left behind a bunch of rabbit husks that killed nearly everyone
Is there a new feature list for this upcoming version anywhere?
[QUOTE=wallyroberto_2;45269555]Is there a new feature list for this upcoming version anywhere?[/QUOTE]
Nothing official atm, but someone over at r/dwarffortress made this summary:
[QUOTE]1. Complete revamping of combat to make maneuvers possible: stabbing both daggers into two different goblin's eyes in one move, but also getting each limb simultaneously pulled off by a hydra head.
2. Climbing now possible as is jumping, new defensive strategies are necessary to use walls and such.
3. Trees now multi tile as are cavern mushrooms, grow big
4. Adventure mode gets huge revamp, now there will be armies and bands roving around conquering places and declaring themselves king, and tracking and stealth are functional and balanced (latter more about stealth)
5. A lot of plants added to the game
6. Nonlethal combat to subdue possible, combat can escalate to lethal
7. Personality totally overhauled has more game manifestations: e.g. cowards may panic and run even if in the military, the brave may stand and fight even if they aren't[/QUOTE]
Change 1 & 7 is going to spawn some very interesting stories.
like how the king 2,000 miles away doesn't spit out his coffee and order an immediate mobilization of his heavy cavalry because you kicked someone's chicken in a field in the middle of nowhere while nobody was watching
like jesus toady i understand that it's complicated and difficult to program a realistic propagation of news but the current mass-hivemind makes it so that you literally have to travel to a completely different fucking civilization to not have a six year old child gnawing on your ankles and trying to cave in your forehead with a -*sharpened limestone rock*- because one time you stole a sandal
As far as I can remember, that change is in this version.
Change #7 has given me a reason to purge cowards from the fortress via more incredibly dangerous trials to become Legionnaires of my glorious dwarven military.
right after exams and shit are all done? my vacation will involve lots of [I]fun[/I] :D
I wonder if we will experience something like the spontaneous swarms of fps raping giant mosquitoes invading this time around.

my current game has modded bipedal fluffy wamblers sporting thick musculature that like fighting
they've been providing pretty decent training for my military dwarves, plus my craftsdwarf likes to make little keychains and shit out of their bones for some reason

I love you, never stop posting.
Guys i'll try getting into DF for the nth time once the thing updates.
Can someone clarify for me what this new update of stonesense does?
I didn't really use stonesense on my previous attempts of playing DF so i'm not too sure how it worked back then, so does it work in real time now? Didn't it do it back then?
Can i play DF in full isometric 3D and not learn the matrix to play it now?
[QUOTE=LtBubbles;45285496]Can i play DF in full isometric 3D[/QUOTE]
Never, probably
What is actually coming in the new version?
My rock hard cock
[QUOTE=esalaka;45285966]Never, probably[/QUOTE]

i know it works because ive tried it
[QUOTE=Sector 7;45287114]What is actually coming in the new version?[/QUOTE]
bugs

the entire purpose of the update is to make as many bugs as possible
[editline]hi[/editline]

you don't need to "learn the matrix" to play dwarf fortress, you just need to know what things mean. It's pretty easy to look at if you give yourself a little bit, the colors may bother you, but you can change those easily. if ASCII still really bothers you, you can install a graphics set.
I can't wait to put this on my laptop for when I go on vacation, and have my fort destroyed by goblins because my plans of 1-block high walls no longer work.
"Oh I haven't played DF in a week, mind as well just delete it and redownload it in a week when the new version comes out.
"Okay now to empty the recycling bin...
"WAIT SHIT MY MODS NO NO NO"
rip mods
