Other than everything you're saying being false as others have pointed out, people really need to stop thinking of DF as 'fortress mode' and 'adventure mode' and thinking of it as the fantasy world simulator it actually is.
To be fair, these are still distinct modes within the game. It's reasonable to view them as separate, because they are. You have to choose one or the other when you start a new game.

It's a legitimate way to look at the game, but if you're to have an opinion on future development you pretty much need to understand Toady's long term goals, which is erasing the divide between the two.

It did work, but it was laughably weak to shields. I assume that has been fixed then?

I have a VERY unpopular opinion:
I think we'd all like to see more frequent updates and polish,

I don't. Not at the expense of the living world, that is. There are many games where people can dick around with things in peace. Toady is trying to take computerized roleplaying somewhere it hasn't been before, and that's more important than some forumite's (all formumites) made-to-measure happy gratis fun time.

I don't think you read that the way I wrote it. I meant as much as he'd like to be OP isn't Jesus in Gethsemane for wanting to see a cleaned up game (which we'll see in the next few weeks anyway,) I wasn't agreeing with colour-coded rocks or whatever.

Not really, but you're trying very hard to. :)

I think we'd all like to see more frequent updates and polish, and barring any more rewrites, that can probably be expected.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Anyone tried the insurrections stuff yet?
« on: July 08, 2014, 05:42:36 pm »
Yeah, I did one. The depressing thing is the lady cried when I announced my takeover. Then she ran off, then she returned and apparently took back control so I decapitated her and got to watch her child and last two loyal guards cry on the floor as well.  :(

Honestly as someone who plays for fortress mode alone, I'm fairly disappointed by having waited two years for largely no great improvements - it's as though we got approximately one or two bullet points out of ten

Two years ago the army arc was all the rage, that seems to have mostly disappeared

I wonder if the devs realize 90% of DF players play fortress mode exclusively, because seems like they shafted us on this release

Other than everything you're saying being false as others have pointed out, people really need to stop thinking of DF as 'fortress mode' and 'adventure mode' and thinking of it as the fantasy world simulator it actually is. Everything added to either mode will eventually tie together. Besides, whining about adventure mode getting attention instead of fortress mode is like whining about feeding starving 3rd world children when we could be spending that money on Hollywood celebrities.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Goblin Civvies?

I kind of agree, but feel the same way about the other races. The treshold for actually defending your home seems pretty high now.

That's probably just internal politics.

Probably... someone has to keep the shearing pits going while the warriors are off dying in the drowning chamber.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Twisting and such
« on: July 08, 2014, 12:55:25 pm »
So... how do you twist your whatever around in people these days? In the old version I would just auto-attack, which apparently isn't working anymore.

That actually sounds like one of those nightmares that aren't scary at all looking back but incredibly unsettling at the time.

So I just punched someone in the throat, pulping it, and they were like 'meh, wasn't using it anyway.'

Bug or DF being DF?

When not in war, what cause is greater than sending your entire army across the world to recover a sock lost in the mists of the age of legends?

Its actually a disappointment. All the stuff thats new that took 2 years pales in comparison to what Meph can do in 2 months with his masterwork. Atleast as far as fortress mode goes. I think adventure mode might have a good bit update which is cool.

People like you are the reason I resent the larger mods.
