Ah...very interesting. I'll be playing my right hand next turn, but will certainly make use of whatever this will lead to.

It was harvest season and all my dwarves ran out the fortress to harvest from the nearby pear tree, as apparently it is a ridiculously important job. Right at that moment a weregilla monster shows up between the fortress and the tree. Out of the 41 dwarves in my fortress, 32 were involved in the fight. one of them died right away, dozens are hurt.

This means I have to either check several hundreds of pages of combat log for who was bitten, but I think I'll rather just wait a month and see the fortress burn to the ground instead.

Yes, the way the game refers to, and uses populations and creatures needs some work. Also were bogeyman populations tracked in  legends viewer files of the first museum games? I have never thought of them as real creatures, but rather as dangerous imaginative beings that are created in the minds of lonely stranded adventurers. They dissapear without a trace if you find other people, or if the sun rises. The game might not track their numbers at all.

@Maloy Blight creatures are dangerous, and have skill levels as well, I think. Fighting a master swordsman thrall would be a challenge. Unarmed peasants are easier, but not easy. Wear good armor to protect you from catching the plague yourselves, and run when needed.There are other players far more skilled in combat than me though. Most of my characters just avoid anything mildly dangerous and only have a few kills, Raki excluded.

It is certainly possible that the world has bogeymen somewhere, but I have yet to see them, I think they are confined to evil areas in recent versions. I'll send Maloy a PM, but from what I remember Maloy might also be short on time right now. We'll see.

Yes, that giant Grizzly was expensive though. Raki had to sell all of the clothes of his back during generation to afford it. Some civs have gremlin pets and they only cost one Urist, you can start with hundreds of those if you're feeling masochistic.

Also a clarification of the rules mentioned above; peasants can start with two peasants, heroes start on their own.

Edit : Ninjas strike again... anyhow:

DFFD has had some serious issues with their database recently. There is a post about it on the forums, also on what is recoverable, and what is not:

Good luck with your turn!

Happy new year everyone!

How is progress on the save Kesperan? You have had a number of days over the usual amount as agreed, and I think we should move on.
