Unfortunately, no matter what you do, simple pack animals will always spawn wherever they like and ignore your fine road.  Maybe if you put in long drawbridge chains blocking off three entire sides of the map... Hmm.  Might have to try that.

What I find amusing is when the wagons show up near my road, the donkeys show up on the other side of the map, and the liaison shows up on one of the remaining sides.  "All right, Merchant Playbook Scenario #45!  The Three-Pronged-Flanking Maneuver!  Go, go, go!  For mugs and narrow beak dog leather thongs!"

I do like that severing, grabbing, and soiling of entrails was something that nearly happened automatically because all the code was in place and just waiting for the guts to be pressurized.

Also, nerve damage.  I guess so you can roleplay that one Bond villain who couldn't feel pain.

Or Thomas Covenant.

Hmm. ¤White Gold Ring¤.

I don't know if this is fixed yet, but back in 38, frozen water supported things a little oddly.  If it melted such that things were unsupported, they'd stay up just fine until I quit and reloaded the fortress.

If that bug is still there, you could get the same effect by only saving while the water was frozen.  "You dare to mandate lace agate floodgates in the middle of summer?  Taste the wrath of SAVING!"

This thread needs to be left for dead.

Sorry, the residents of the forum are too evil.  Even dead, rising to the top gives a good excuse to whip out a pun.

I just had one last night.

Rather than being in DF, I was just playing it.  I thought nothing of this until I realized that after I designated a square of microcline to be dug, all the visible microcline was dig-designated.  Looking around a bit, I then noticed this long vein-shaped designation where I'd started digging out some metal.  Then I woke up and was like "WHOA! Auto-designating veins!  But it's a little buggy, I'd better post a bug report.  ...Wait.  I'm in bed.  Must've been a dream.  ...Wasn't there a DF dream thread in General?"
