Well, you know that Toady has special developement tool (program, thing, cheat, whatever), which allows him to put every creature's speed to 1. This makes them superfast, so we can't be too sure how fast water or dwarwes are in videos.</STRONG>

We all have that power as well. Just a matter of knowing where to subract a few 0's in the raws.   Though... it makes things far too easy imo.

What I would like to be able to build are the rooms where two outerwalls move and squish everything to the middle. You can squish with bridges... but sometimes you just want to herd your victims.  

Those sound more like uses for firesnake oil.

The still picks up a secondary job:
Purify Water

Then you can get drinking water if you are totally out of booze components/freezing map/etc.

Vote yes for dwarven ale on tap in all your local fountains!

Toady, couple of little things I have not seen asked as of yet.

Are you going to vary the water color based on the depth like the current natural floods? Or provide some other depth scale?

Will water push objects/creatures like floods do now?

Will multi-level rooms (5x5x5) fill entrely with water provide we set it up correctly? I presume yes since it is volume based.

Can hardly wait for next the update. Truly evil machinations await those intend to oppose us.

If Im understanding Toady... the mountain range shape on the world map will affect the terrain available for a particular fort?

If thats the case a tweak to selecting a starting location could be very intersting/challenging. I can see this as being able to select any mountain world map tile for a fort. Huge, tiny, lone peak, etc.

Yes, always smooth or refloor if you want to use a tunnel as a pipe. Walls can be left raw.
