Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm a sucker for games with involved crafting systems, so I love URW.   I've been playing the heck of the demo for the longest time, My favorite is playing the escaped slave in winter...that and butchering an entire town. Literally. (Yay cannabalism!  )  and I'll probably cave and buy it as soon as I get the extra cash. (Especially since it's a lot cheaper now.)

I can't really speak for the graphics since I've been using the fanmade one off the forums for as long as I've been playing, but I've never had any trouble with crashes and the like.

I used to post on the forums now and then, and the restrictions there are fairly recent. I can't remember the details, but I believe they were added to control who had access to updates, since Sami was having a problem with another site ripping off the game. Just another case of a few unethical people ruining things for everybody else.

Then again it doesn't entirely matter...

But it drops them from "They need to be in the game" to "It would be sorta nice if they existed"</STRONG>

I would agree with you were it not for the map where I had plenty of hematite but not a single stone because of the aquifer two layers down...

Yeah, that makes more sense to me. They ought to be happy to see those lungfish roasts, and incidentally that would give you an incentive to grow and buy a variety of foods instead of just all plump helmets, all the time.

The First Anvil being a gift from the gods actually sounds like it could be a major part of dwarven mythology.

I just slap up a door or two in the hallway as the miner digs along and have yet to lose one to a flood.

What the title says - and if not that, would it at least be possible to allow us to use limestone blocks in a smelter?

The same thing goes for cut vs. uncut rock crystals.

I like the idea of using vials, they're one of those things that need more uses. (Or if it did wind up just being barrels I would suggest having to add sugar too, to make it slightly more difficult) And I wouldn't stop at strawberries, I bet prickleberries and sunberries would make a good jam too.

Like most suggestions that show up here, I think this is something Toady's already  taken into account. It's possible this could be my imagination but I've already noticed differences based on a dwarf's personality - 'compassionate' vs. 'not easily moved to pity', a dwarf that doesn't like helping others getting an unhappy thought from health care jobs, etc. And then of course there's the ones that grow used to tragedy and don't care about anything anymore...

Even if personalities are at the moment only implemented in the most rudimentary way, they're going to be fleshed out later and from the wording it seems pretty clear they're going to directly address things like the likelihood of a particular dwarf going beserk, melancholy, etc.
