SO. since this is the Future of the Fortress thread: New Clowns to play with! I hope we get a Sad Face Clown and one with a Water Spraying Flower. That would be So. Much. FUN!
No!
No On topic discussion on this page or we are DOOOOOOMMMMEED!!!!!!!
I was kind of hoping for DOOOOOOOOMM! Because DOOOOOOOM can be FUN!
I'm quite sure that by the time I get back from work to check again, this thread will have cleared 10000 replies. It hit 9000 18 days ago. A thousand replies, 10% of the thread's length, in some of the driest three weeks in its almost-year of life. That's what you call off topic.
Uh-oh, we're on page 666.
Do not mention the health or name of the vaguely froggish one in case of bad juju
Silence! We are on Page 200!

Dwarfs jusr ARE.I'd say animalmen should eventually have names for themselves (raksha, thri-kreen, et cetera) but that these should be entity names, not species names. We assume a group of tigermen call themselves the "Riget." All elves and other animalmen would refer to them as such, as would most educated humans and dwarves (especially diplomats), unless actively seeking to antagonize them. Dwarvern and human peasants, save perhaps those used to living in close proximity to the Riget, would simply refer to them as tigermen. (The response from a given tigerman would range from polite correction to mauling; given tigermen, the latter seems more likely.) They'd be displayed in Dwarf Mode as "Tigerman" or "Tigerman (Riget)" depending on circumstances.i agree, i was just about to write this but you did it better. Wouldn't be hard to implement would it?

sometimes it's quite fast
I believe in a Humming bird's case the hum is supposed to be its heart beat or something.
No.
That is impossible
There is a system in place that will try its best to keep your schedules staffed, going so far as finding replacements when soldiers get hungry/tired, as well as forcing soldiers to stay on duty if no replacements are found
Kill orders are now possible. You can select any creature your fort does not control to be killed
You can now handle ammo allocation by material, so you can set aside metal bolts for battle and wooden bolts for training. Squads will maintain such ammo counts on their own.
Ranged damage has been nerfed, in addition to bolts making "logical" paths now.
The trimming of hair/nails is also possible for civilized creatures, and they will grow long and unkempt without such activities
You can choose different options for each announcement, like whether you want it to pause the game or recenter your view
The above also allows for scars
There is a lot of nasty stuff underneath, seemingly related to the old "end of the world" timers
Eh, depends on what you mean by "magic".Wouldn't the prefstring just mean that people would "Admire unicorns for their magic poo"?QuoteCREATURE:UNICORN]

There. Now it's SCIENCE.(Granted, since creatures don't actually have excretory functions yet, it would have to be extracted by a milker....a process better left to the imagination)
Hey, I'd be pretty impressed by magic poo.
