Werecritters only transform during the full moon, remember?

I got a quest to kill a bandit chief. The fish dissector who gave me the quest mentioned he had one kill. I looked up the bandit in Legends and the thing he killed was a troll. Didn't steal anything yet either. What a crappy bandit.

Threetoe said the game got faster for him.

I can attest that worldgen got a bit slower though, at least on my computer. I suppose that's to be expected.

"The Dwarves Washed"

"The Wizard's Guide to Annihilation"

Also an untitled letter written by a necromancer about himself described as "Stunningly self-indulgent."

The devlog says you use the I button to warm stuff at a fire.

Holy goddamn, I can't remember the last time I had a Golden Age. Probably back when every world ran to 1050 and ages were based strictly on what year it was.

I'm not sure if they ever were.

Anyway, yeah, it seems to actually happen now, which I like.


They were; that's how ages worked years back.

1-500: Age of Myth
501-1000: Age of Legends
1001-1050: Golden Age

Then the age names got overhauled.

First Age of Myth -- Years 1-47
First Age of Legends -- Year 48
Second Age of Myth -- Years 49-51
Second Age of Legends -- Years 52-92
Age of Heroes -- Years 93-134
Golden Age -- Years 135-200 (present)


Holy goddamn, I can't remember the last time I had a Golden Age. Probably back when every world ran to 1050 and ages were based strictly on what year it was.

Also that bit where it went into the Age of Legends for a single year and went right back to Myth is kind of weird.

Seems rather pointless. Are the seeds in hex, or base 36? Just a number, regardless.

Maybe typing in "magmaaaaa" as a seed would be amusing, though.


It's easier to remember words than arbitrary strings of numbers.

Although since these days there's an entire file's worth of parameters to copy/paste I guess there really isn't much of a point. Would have been nice back in 2007.

Worldgen seeds can now use letters, Minecraft-style. Awesome.

EDIT: Oh, wait, that was in the changes list. Eh, still wasn't mentioned in the devlog before the update.

Angels sang out in barbershop quartets

Down from the heavens descended Dwarf Fortress

And with balls wrought from brass and swords made of rocks

Before long the dwarves all wore angelhide socks

Aye, I felt the same way when I quit my forty-year 40d fort a day or two before DF2010 was released. I still remember the names of a few of the mayors and soldiers almost two years later. Like Sarvesh Gladnessglaze, the artifact-hammer-wielding champion who killed a dozen !!HFS!! without any clothes on.

I think Toady is going to have to take an entire day just to write up all the changes and content in this one update to post.
Can anybody even remember all the content in it? It's gargantuan!

Yeah, he probably just makes a note of something each time he changes something, and at the end he cleans it up a bit and sticks it in the releasenotes.txt.

Also after 31.01 the update was so big he didn't post the changes on the devlog OR the release notes file. Best stick to that google doc.
