Question for Toady

How do figures in worldgen sites display their artifacts/holy relics? Are they placed on the ground or lifted (like other items in shops) onto a table?

It's right there in the new artifact devnotes. Buildings and/or furniture for displaying artifacts. Guards if necessary.

But t is for fortress mode. D:

Spoiler:  If you hate fun open this (click to show/hide)

Uhh, cabinet with a glass front/viewable from close inspection mode I guess?

Derp. :V

I even quoted the Dev page in my second post.

no devlog for quite a long time now, I'm sure it's for something great

Next devlog? "Crayon rewards replaced with cosplay rewards."

It's been at least once every 7 days for the past several years (with one crazy break of 8 days somewhere) so not too late yet.
One surely due today (depending on your time zone).

A masterful cosplay of a lobster-man by doge, it was made by Dogfort on the Internet on the 5th of Timber.



Devlog XX/XX/2016

Oh yes, im keeping my fingers crossed by a reply by my morning (which will be your 3am) if not shortly, i really thought Toady would blast it out yesterday on the DF anniversary, but good things come to those who wait.

I miss the old days when there was a devlog every 2-3 days.

Well, wait no longer!  We have families!  We have heirlooms!  We have the potential for dwarves to go to war to reclaim their cousin's steel shield!

Is the number of families limited by the starting creatures, or do creatures elevated from entity positions create new families?

[Shonai_Dweller]

- Goblin dancers have arrived. Mean looking bunch. They're just settling into the tavern now and....

- RIOT!!! Send in the Guard! Screams echo down the corridor.

250 dead dwarves and a bug report later and it's all cleared up.
You see, 1050 years ago there was this holy pair of pigtail socks...

[Witty]

With the addition of family heirlooms, do you have any plans to add surnames?

I know you mentioned in a DFtalk a while back that surnames have some historical inaccuracies for the 'time period' of DF - but I'd imagine it'd be quite the hassle to keep track of family heirlooms if every new family member has a totally unique name.   

[Random_Dragon]

This gives me a suggestionish thing that seques into a proper question...

Patronyms and matronyms would be interesting, but in addition to the hard code, the language files would need a dwarfy word for "son/daughter of" to add to it. But which sounds more dwarf-like to you: placing the word at the start of the patronym (Urist McDwarf), at the end of it (Urist Dwarfson), or as a separate word (Urist Bin Dwarf)?

[darkflagrance]

Right now the marriage mechanics in Fortress Mode are incredibly micromanagement-intensive, when they didn't use to be.

I hope Toady makes falling in love and having children a more organic process for your dwarves as part of this update.

Permanent inherited surnames are right on the edge of the cutoff; Some countries using them and others not around that time. Lots of aristocracy adopted them well within the cutoff, but the commoners often took longer.
