Has there been any advancements on armoring up/barding creatures? I know that armor can be worn by creatures in Arena Testing, but cannot be put on them while in Dwarf and Adventurer mode...

Barding?
Barding is armor for animals, especially horses.

No changes there.  Use of mounts is on the dev page, so it might get some attention then.  However, armor and clothing is already a messy thing to implement for humanoids (determining body part coverage, etc).  Generalizing it to other body plans (quadrupeds, fliers, tentacled whatevers) is not low-hanging fruit.

Glad I could help, but it looks like Footkerchief has ninja's me with Wikipedia.

I'd say it's safe to assume this will at the earliest be worked on around when mounts get implemented. However since the combat/speed split was a prerequisite for mounts and Toady did mention a while back doing some early tinkering with riding I guess that could be said to be an advancement towards that end? :P

From the last DFtalk in May:

Now this doesn't mean I've added in adventure mode mounts yet - there's probably some bug in the arena when you control a mounted adventurer or whatever but it's something we're, I don't know how far I'm gonna get with that but it's fun to, it was fun to control the mount. I created a horse with a person riding it and then another horse with a person riding it and then took control of one of the horses and then just kind of rode around and tried to get my person the best gallop I could to dismount the other person or whatever. It'd be a fun game by itself I guess, it's like controlling the horse. So that'll all be interesting when we get that done and it is probably going to be something that causes adventure mode mounts to happen sooner rather than later, but I'm trying not to add anything else this release because it's getting long in the tooth.

A few questions that may or may not have already been addressed about the coming release:

How difficult will it be to de-racialise sites? For instance, if I wanted to have a race that occupied goblinesque fortesses, but didn't want to have trolls or demonic leaders, how hard would that be to implement?

Will Adventure mode this time around take into consideration more things like civilisations' attitudes towards various acts, and as a subset of that, will cannibalistic races be able to nom nom nom sapients in adventure mode?

Finally, will more crafts, besides sharpening stones, be available in adventure mode this time round?

Don't forget the

[color=limegreen]making questions limegreen[/color]bit. Toady likely skims the thread, ignoring most stuff that doesn't have green on it somewhere.

If you want your questions to be answered by Toady, you need to highlight them green.

As for Adventurer Crafting. Thats still just sharpening stones. For now.

I believe that what type of site you live in does not define what pets you have access to or whether you can have demonic leaders.

Pets depend on what pet tags the entity has, as well as which biomes the civilization lives in.

Creatures can deceive civilizations into making them leaders if the creature has a [POWER] token. I'm not sure if there are other factors though.

Exactly as difficult as it is in this version: you're going to have to try to make, say, Dwarf dark fortresses act like Goblin dark fortresses. The site has nothing to do with position or pet behavior.

Haven't seen anything about that in the devlog, so I'm giving a tentative "no".

Not a word on that, so no.

This isn't really a question per se, but the news section at the top still has the January '14 report up instead of the February one. :P
Update, please.

Ever?

Probably.
When?
When it becomes relevant to the development.
