This is my favorite kind of patch note

Then this is a pretty good Twitter account to follow if you do the Twitter things: [url]https://twitter.com/dwarfort_txt[/url]
With classics such as "changes caused the clowns to run away like benign animals" and "a skeletal polar bear came by and guzzled my wine and stole my plump helmets"

God needs to get on fixing that. Phantom limbs are a hell of a thing.

Why can't other games have bug fixes like these?
[QUOTE=Paramud;46019610]Why can't other games have bug fixes like these?[/QUOTE]
They do, it's just that game developers never release changelogs during pre-release bug testing. It's a damn shame, too.
So I just witnessed my dwarfs jumping over a pond:

I'm glad there's a caravan of free stuff that you can use to give your fortress a nice boost
How much do you get to do that before you get pincushioned in arrows
free arrows fuck yeah

[quote]stopped engravings from referring to future events[/quote]
Man, i'd love a fortress filled with engravings of future events.
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;46037978]Man, i'd love a fortress filled with engravings of future events.[/QUOTE]
you'd probably get tantrum spirals way faster as dwarves get shown their horrible end at your hands :v:
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;46037978]Man, i'd love a fortress filled with engravings of future events.[/QUOTE]
That actually sounds like something you could twist into a feature. Maybe possessed craftsdwarves have a chance of carving a sculpture of future chosen ones. They could scream about prophecies while making it.
Get on it Toady.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy :v:

it's ok, I already have a medical dwarf ready to pull out splinters
so I think dead dwarves can reveal underground terrain?
one "accidentally" fell into my volcano and he discovered the magma sea + candy
[editline]21st September 2014[/editline]
I'm trying to make one of my dwarves dual wield shields. I gave him two but he just puts them both in his right hand, so I gave him two more and he still is holding them all in his right hand.

is there something I'm missing?
See how many shields he can hold

Give him a huge number of featherwood shields, I don't think the material matters much for successful blocking.

Basically do this.
[QUOTE=person11;46043433]See how many shields he can hold[/QUOTE]
unfortunately it seems to be fixed now and the dwarf is properly dual wielding shields
though now he has ~10 shields strapped to his upper body, I'll leave him like that

This is a known thing on the wiki
[quote]Suicide mission: Ideal for exploring the bottom of a deep pit or magma pool. Knock a dwarf or animal into the pit, and they will rapidly plummet. Despite being unconscious, they will report everything they see for as long as they are alive. Nobles, cats and vampires make excellent geonauts[/quote]

huh, neat
also my shieldwarf was just tested in combat

I like that they talk now
[editline]21st September 2014[/editline]
also for some reason the entire entrance bridge to my base is covered in vomit

Toady actually posted this on Facebook. If all of your dwarves get really cave-adapted, they'll start puking all over whatever your main entrance is.
I always turn off cave adaption. Hate having my entrance covered in vomit and I'm far too lazy to have my dining hall be in sunlight or something.

"Death is all around us. This cannot horrify me. How fragile we are... THIS DOESN'T SCARE ME!"
Jesus adding dialogue to this game made it 10000x more fucking hype.
It just needs more variants for the same response, rather than the one or two that there are. Would keep things very fresh. Flavour text would be nice too.
[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;46044017]I always turn off cave adaption. Hate having my entrance covered in vomit and I'm far too lazy to have my dining hall be in sunlight or something.[/QUOTE]I just have my central staircase reach to the surface, then plug that over with floors so the staircase is still considered lit while not being a vulnerability. Not sure of that still works in the new version, I guess nowadays one would put a grate or something else that allows light on top.
So I just noticed that all the eggs my chickens lay are turkey eggs.
