As for the baby, apparently it was infected as it died.  It came back as a ghostly were-goat dwarf baby.

Need pictures.

I think this thread should have been titled "realistic lava." I think magma in confined spaces would be a tad more dangerous than this.

I don't feel like classifying this version in terms of good/bad, whatever. It feels more like a preview of DF 2012 to me. With worldgen being dramatically slower the longer it runs, with certain sites in adv mode being unplayable laggy (capitol cities in longer world-gens), and most of all save-game failure or corruption being rampant both on save, retire, abandon, and crumble.. It's like you can play for a bit, get a taste of the new features, but you shouldn't get attached.

I do like a lot of the new features, don't get me wrong, but I'm happiest with it if I consider it like a demonstration of new features and not a version that I'm going to do anything much with. Really looking forward to a fix for the major crashes and save corruption, then I'll really get into it.

I genned 125 years and haven't had a single crash or bug, aside from the harmless book duplicating thing.

The good:
Everything. I love every new change to adventure mode. Necro powers are gloriously overpowered and immensely fun. Ranged weapons are fun again.

The bad:
Lack of large garrisons to defeat. Having 50 zombie pets isn't as fun as it can be. Throwing (at least with bolts/arrows) is still overpowered and is more powerful than ranged weapons due to lack of a reload time.

The ugly:
A mid week release means I am not doing as much work as I should be.

This version isn't ever going to get old.

An army of caged creatures/goblins to fight the HFS and beat them. Then colonize hell.

Making EVERYTHING moddable. If nothing else, it would accelerate development time.

That's cheating! You've gamed this thread to give yourself the ability to change "everything" about the game. Go again please.

I'd have animals be a lot harder to find and far more rare. It's a bit ridiculous that you can start a peasant, walk into a forest, and club hundreds of little (and big) critters around you.

I think the reason you're not liking adventure mode is due to how weak the current demigods are. Demigods, as chlidren of the gods, should ideally be able to launch goblins into orbit with mauls. Instead, they are only slightly beefed up peasants. I hope that this gets fixed when toady rewrites adventurer roles.

Also, a better way to accomplish your goal is to make characters level to legendary and past only when they fight legendary enemies. Skills past legendary should give unproportionally large bonuses. So the effect is: as the amount of megabeasts dwindles with time, (and you enter a mundane age) so does the number of superlegendary actors.

you could essentially power up to godhood
