Blessed are the cheesemakers, for they will be called children of Armok.

SHIT! I wish I'd thought of that one. My hat tips for you, good sir.

So i for one wait for organized religion to pervert it and my dorfs.
When talking about adventurer roles, I had an idea for a different sort: The cultist. I was going to generate worlds until I got a demon posing as a god and then I'd slavishly follow his whims and preach his name.

Bronze Dog has been feeling rather happy lately. He is fond of scimitars, black bronze, turquoise, and kobolds for their underdog status.

Are references by proxy still references? It could make Godwin's law much more difficult to avoid.

Twice in one day - I must be getting good at this :D
Toady, how deep will social interactions become in the next release? Stuff like group/clique formation, prejudice, peer pressure etc.

Probably no deeper then what we have now. A lot of that stuff, from the groups and peer pressure, ect, are things he wants when Guilds are back in play.

Time to donate again. Hospital bills are always serious, even if the reason isn't.

Best wishes for you and yours, Mr Adams. Here's hoping it's nothing much.

Yea, I hope it wasn't anything serious, but if it is, the community is with you Toady One.

Just out of curiosity, are there any new creatures in the next update?

Will all of the creatures have the gait stuff in their raws eventually? I understand if the humanoids just have those gait stuff at first because finding out the gaits of other stuff requires research that takes time. Also, gotta get the cheetahs speed in, right? :D

As far as research goes, there is a good deal of research into locomotion, just have to find it, and there are plenty of people in the community willing to help out with putting the data in.

Hope you are okay, hospital visits are NEVER pleasant, no matter how superfluous or serious the problem might be.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

I believe all creatures will have gaits in the next version, though maybe not all perfectly-researched ones.
Quote from: Toady One, on 03/29/2013
In addition to cleaning up random unfunny bugs, I've been entering all of the gait data into the raws now that that part of combat is definitely settled. Creature variations can now take argument strings which replace argument markers in the variation definition (the arguments are different speed numbers in this case). The use of lines of the variation can also be made conditional on these arguments. There isn't enough resolution in the game's time system for speeds to make sense entirely, without letting critters like cheetahs understand moving more than one square per click. Fixing it isn't as easy as making projectiles go more than one tile per click. In any case, critters that should be faster than a dwarf or human at full speed are much faster at their full speed, while one creature's full speed is generally much faster than its walking speed, so it'll be an improvement.
