DF Modding / Naming Kingdoms Is It Possible?
« on: December 03, 2015, 05:42:22 pm »
Okay so I mastered this once before but i cant remember how I did it! ... is anyone privy to the knowledge of how to limit the choices of names for a kingdom down to like a handful that I like? I know its possible i did it once before i just cant seem to remember how, i made it so that like every time they would be like "The Kingdom of Roses" or "The Kingdom of Fire" I already know that if you ad a [SELECT_SYMBOL:CIV:NAME_ENTITY_KINGDOM] and than go into Language SYM and delete everything but the word kingdom under this that it will make it a kingdom each and every time, but I am speaking strictly about what comes after that, the "Of roses, or Of fire"

Does the map maker still function? Or do we have to wait for it to update itself.

« on: December 02, 2015, 04:43:45 am »I seem to recall Toady posted a devlog about making hair/skin colours more varied as generations pass. I may be mistaken though.Cool, i will do some testing.

« on: December 02, 2015, 04:43:15 am »I think the last time you brought this up it was already mentioned that it is actually realistic for most people in one place in a time where most people don't really leave the place they were born in to have very similar traits. However I have noticed it seems to be a bit more varied. During character creation I got a human civilization where the only skin color was brown, but there were at least three hair and eye colors, so there might be more variation than before now. It might have just been luck.Yeah i just dont want everyone in my fortress looking identical with no variation.

DF General Discussion / Is Genetics Still Messed Up?

Hey I just wanted to know after the newest update if the genetics are still all wonky ware everyone has the same hair and skin tone in a single cibilization or if its more varied now with black hair and blonde haired people living in the same civ.

« on: October 28, 2015, 12:05:35 am »Its feels bothersome and intrusive to email him, arbitrary questions. We have other means where that information is given out to the community. And he a updates them regularly.
I didnt email, i sent him a message right on the site.
And besides, he couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful and as a added bonus I fangirled all over him after about how good of a dev he is and that he takes time to talk to us ^ _ ^ everyone likes a confidence booster from time to time even big game devs like him.

« on: October 27, 2015, 10:33:28 pm »Even though I'm curious, I hesitate to ask questions like that by email or Twitter. A quick browse of Twitter reveals a somewhat off prediction of 'a couple of months' back in May!
Still, only 17 things to go. That's nice to hear. Then there's the other 600 things that'll need fixing which always turn up when you've got an extra few thousand playtesters. But that's fun for everyone. Toady says the bug fixing period will go on for 'quite a while' this time round.
Its good to know that by the time the thrill of fallout 4 wears off i should have a fully play tested and bug tested version of DF to play.

« on: October 27, 2015, 09:42:30 pm »He really is surprisingly accessible and has answered a pretty detailed question of mine on gameplay mechanics before. I do hesitate to tell people to ask him things directly though, since I'm sure he has plenty to do without distractions.
I'm hoping for something by Thanksgiving, but a Christmas release would be nice too.
XD Got confused there cause Canadian thanks giving came and went!
I dunno.. It seems like a shame cause I will be playing fallout 4 at that time.

« on: October 27, 2015, 09:05:22 pm »Although by his own admission it rarely works out.
This release cycle hasn't been as bad as the last few, but it's still dragging on quite a while. It does seem to be released soon though. I was hoping for a Halloween release, but it's probably not going to happen that soon. Hopefully by the end of the year.
^ ^ He got back to me!
He said "It's hard to be very specific, but I have 17 things left to do and they go around 1 a day now. Then there'll be a week or two of release-mode testing. So late November or December, perhaps. Nothing major remains, so it won't be another year or anything."
Why dont people try asking him questions more? He is so accessible and nice and responds to every message iv ever sent him, even requests iv asked ov him such as more genetic deversity to add more hair and skin tones to the world at one time.
So hopefully late november or december we will have a new DF to play.

« on: October 26, 2015, 06:34:57 pm »Judging from the reports Toady posts weekly, and the longer reports Toady posts monthly, and the financial report Threetoe and Toady posted last month, the new release is imminent. Remaining issues are down to a single page which Toady is currently staring at (based on Toady's almost daily Twitter report).
So the answer is soon (as in, probably, 1 week - 3 months depending on issues soon) not 4 years.
I did send toady a message, I wonder if he answers those types of messages, i have had some pleasant conversations with him, its apart of the benefit of having such a small tight nit community of fans, he can take the time to talk to them individually from time to time.

« on: October 26, 2015, 06:14:22 pm »No, just a bunch of idle, baseless speculation.
Got any idle baseless speculation to tide me over?
Are we looking at another 4 year dry spell like last time?

I was glossing over some of the new features and they seem fun, have any hints been dropped about when the next update is expected?

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Wiped out entire civs in world gen
« on: May 22, 2015, 04:31:26 pm »Reducing the number of megabeasts and titans might help, or you could go through the legends and see how they're dying out. If it's war I don't think there's a lot you can do.Yeah, but iv reduced them so much now that theres so few of them that theres only like one of each, plus I worry I will have a world without one of the main types of mega beasts.

I am open to suggestions, altering world stats of the world, editing Creature text files, editing Entity files, just anything that would work.
