Gators seem to get more awesome every release. From a mother spawning seventy in a closed cave system, to this attack.

Don't forget the advent of alligator drunks in 39a. Sadly, they were "fixed" in 39b.

Hah, a human town in the world I just generated:
Resmituthru, "Beardedsquirt", a town

Sounds like they had dwarves in mind. 

Of course I had to look it up in legends since the town showed as having no population at the end of worldgen. Maybe the dwarves wiped them out?
As it happened though, it was elves. After 4 years of constant attacks by several megabeasts giving them trouble, the town was attacked by two elves from the elven civilization "The Leopard of Cremations" in the year 5 and destroyed in that battle. I say battle, but the attackers were uncontested by any of the 9 humans living there so the elves won by default. Four of the humans after the battle were drowned (not eaten, for whatever reason) and the rest fled. Thus ended the fledgling human civilization "The Grasping Confederation".

I'm currently generating a large world and it goes very slow, even on my 2,4 Ghz Core 2 Duo. It even stops for a few seconds in some years. I'm not surprised through.

It seems stop every several years and clean out insignificant events; if you notice, when it stats back up the number of events stored will have dropped a fair bit.


I've had some fun looking through the world history logs. The last major event which heralded the end of prehistory in my first world was the death of one of the dragons. I looked up the person who killed the dragon, and found something amusing:


Apparently even though she had come to worship the dragon, she still specifically tracked it down and killed it.
Oh, and she had a moderately long list of worshiped megabeasts besides the dragon.

I remember an email about this, but I don't remember the details

Yeah, that was from me quite a while ago. 
I use UPX a fair bit myself, and I seem to recall testing a UPX packed executable in Wine without a problem.

I vote against it, simply because it might no longer be possible to scan through the exe to see all the possible (and possibly unused) modding tags.

This would be one problem. Another, I've found that some of the utilities (Regional Prospector or Reveal or something like that, I forget which) will also not work on a UPX packed copy of the DF executable. I'm not sure if they could be updated to work or not.

Looks like slMagnavox posted it to the DFFD here:

Assuming image signatures are allowed, we'll just have to see, although I wouldn't mind seeing the pro-image people discuss what they think is acceptable.  How do pro-image people feel about "ad" image links to other sites, or animated images, or those meme sigs?  Is that what you're signing up for?

My take:
Ad type images for any for-profit ventures (solicitation, basically) should be forbidden. Something for "myminicity" or whatever wouldn't bother me.
Animated images are fine with me as long as they don't fall into the flashing, epilepsy-inducing variety.
Meme sigs are also fine with me, if the person wants to use them.

That said, I have no real strong feelings on the matter; as long as they're not utterly annoying, they don't bother me.

EDIT: Also on linked thread, aways down one sign image is Kudos network for his free Amazon Gift?  And a link to claim my Free Nintendo DS?

Ah, thanks for pointing that particular one out. We don't accept solicitation for such things on the TW forums, so I just took that signature down.

Didn't properly introduce myself in the previous forum, so hya. 
Was wondering something though, the "jump to" button doesn't seem to be working with me, it always just directs me to the subforum i came from. Anyone else got the same issue?

You mean down in the bottom right corner? Working for me. It's supposed to jump to the specified board, and defaults to the board you're currently in. Drop down the list and select the board you want to go to. It should automatically go there once you select one, but if not, clicking the "go" button should make it do so.
If it's not working for you, what browser are you using?
