Also, did you take titan/megabeast worshippers into consideration when implementing the worship need & who you can build temples for?[/color]They should be good to go once they appear at your fortress.
Quote from: Rockphed...
Also, if we have people who worship a megabeast or titan in our fortress, will we be able to create a temple to said creature? If it invades, it could see the temple in its honor and either decide that it is a nice place to stick around, or just that since we worship it, it doesn't need to murder all our citizens.
...
Yeah, if you have a citizen that worships whatever, it is in the list. This'll matter most if you start to bring in outside people... you'd theoretically be able to set up a temple in your fort to the elven regional spirit if you've invited an elf to join up. Perhaps that should upset traditionalists, or any dwarves of good character.
That's the thing, I can't remember where they are in the raws. I'll probably have a more thorough look later.The only bad thing I've noticed about the update is this: bogeymen are still enabled by default. Ugh.
Guess I'll have to gen yet another world, then...
Edit: Ack, how do you disable them properly, again? I don't fancy having to use advanced world creation every time I gen a world.
Have you considered removing the entry for them from the raws?
From the list of remaining things:I think you're wrong about "tavern reputation improvements/indications". I'm pretty sure that refers to reputation of Dwarf Mode taverns, not reputation effects reducing tavern prices. I assume the actual finished item is "more distinctions in individual composition as opposed to form".Quote[Striked out based on what the blog says](*) clean up some stuff with personality needs (mainly polishing off adventurer arguments over values)(*) go through some more non-dwarf item code testing in the fort(*) let long-term residents bug you a bit if you aren't holding up your end of arrangements(*) tavern reputation improvements/indications(*) allow diplomats and bandits to visit your tavern(merchants are harder due to old code, will probably skip)
(*) clean up conflicts with meetings/witness reports and the new time-off mechanics(*) improve spectator text (again...)
(*) improve performance text (again...)
(*) rumor display (maps perhaps, though if that falls through we might skip)(*) payment as bard (or something, it's hard in the current framework)
(*) position as bard (as above)(*) a few minor improvements to musical form descriptions
(*) more distinctions in individual composition as opposed to form (it'll still be very sparse for now)
(*) test passing incident rumors by song, in particular changing non-art reputations by lyrical content
What did I miss?
Will future editions have certain metalworking tasks involve casting, and possibly not involve an anvil at all? I'm no expert on the production of metal statues, but cursory research indicates that it involves only casting and polishing, not banging on it with a hammer. Furthermore, if casting is implemented, will mold-making be a different skill and/or labor than casting? How will the skills interact in terms of determining the quality of the output?Questions like that tend to get answers along the line of "Sounds good, we're all for it, but there's no timeline when we'll add it. (and thus don't know the details yet)" Toady has mentioned being all for molds in the context of creating anvils before, though, so it may happen some day.
Interesting. That looks like a reverse case of adapting the kill neutral (and enemy) ethics thing I mentioned.i do not mean the ethics of individuals, the ethics of individual civilizations.It is important to note that individual civilizations can already have ethics that differ from the raws, as pointed out by somebody with a DFHack script in another thread. (IIRC, the title was "king is a serial killer?"?)As I recall, that king somehow had gotten goblin ethics mixed into his mind and didn't get dwarf ethics back when he became king? So there's individuals that follow other ethics, and I think there is some minor adaption of "kill neutral" ethics at least to avoid marketplace massacres.
Which is why I said "in the creature files."Personality facets affect how people think about and react to certain circumstances, and they are set from the PERSONALITY tokens in the creature files. They vary by individual to a certain degree, and can clash with a civilization's and individual's values (such as a coward dwarf who still values martial prowess).
They are also inherant, defined by the creature raws rather than the entity ones within certain parameters.

- I assume that's possible anyhow, is feeling horror at goblin corpses a 'value'?No, it's an emotional response to seeing a goblin corpse.
What, exactly, does the player do when he argues with someone? Do I get a prompt saying "Argue [ETHICS:TORTURE_FOR_FUN:PUNISH_CAPITAL], because it degrades the fabric of society", or something like that?Most likely, you'll see a string similar to the ones displayed for values in the dwarf descriptions (something like "I believe that family is one of the most important things in life." or "Anyone with half a brain should find the idea of family loathsome.") or that dwarves already say to illustrate their values ("There's nothing like a good friend." as with Toady's example on Twitter a few days ago.) Also note that ethics aren't values, and I believe Toady has only mentioned arguing about values.
No. Whatever it is that elves do is not yet implemented as an actual job. (though elves do bring animals in cages...)5/15/2015 Toady One: ...can now emotionally process the experiences of tree felling, butchery and animal caging.
Aw hell, elves don't even like catching animals for training?
Wait wait wait. Does that mean that if we have elven residents, they can tame animals for us without capturing them first? Just go up to them and say "sup"?
