Wait for Next Version, Use current (.40.24,) or use older release (.34.11?)

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm going through and rejiggering some stuff around. Uberspawn (being those horrifying amalgamations) will now be evil critters in general, which means evil races may end up managing to corral a bunch and throw them at something and the degenerates I can possibly just fix myself.

I'll also include a few mundane surprises of my own.

Fair enough. Sorry to make you go through the trouble. I wanted to be more of a help, but that didn't really happen.

Also, random suggestion: Maybe make the embark 3x3? It might be a bit cramped, but it'll also make turns go a lot faster later in the late game. not to mention my comp's shit and I'd like to be able to have a turn on this without getting lucky and signing up early lol

I'd like to second this. My laptop ((as well as, I assume, several others')) can't muster up a 72FPS lategame like it used to be able to, and another point: with a smaller embark and faster game progression, we shouldn't have enough fort stagnation for devolution unchecked evolution into... well, Spearbreakers 1 canon.

We used a 3x3 last time, didn't we? 3x3s are decently spacious to my memory.

So I take it the intro story is satisfactory to everyone?

I finally sat down and read it, and while there are a couple parts that were a bit awkward or lacked impact, the only bit that really jumped out at me as being offensively bad was:

blood that smelled of burnt bacon

bacon

Bacon may not be the most healthful breakfast choice but it still doesn't exactly project an atmosphere of foreboding and eldritch terror.

Overall, I'd rate it to be a fairly-decent first draft. Maybe reread it again and edit it a bit before *putting it in the OP.

I wasn't totally going for any real impact, just kinda flat information. I mean I'm sure I could do better, but... Ehhh...

And the bacon thing was intended for a smidge of humor, since it was settled a long-ass time ago Mountain barbarian blood smells very burnt-bacony.

Okay! So, I got.... Very slightly drunk, last night instead of genning a world or fixing stuff.

I will at least try to do something productive towards the sequel before bed tonight.

You speak as if getting drunk isn't productive

DONE!!!

Spent all of yesterday and today reading this ENTIRE thread... I was reduced to insane laughter around page 30.

I would like to be apart of the sequel. May I?

That you may. Going to gen a world tomorrow night, get everything all good to go, and probably have my turn finished by Sunday night.

Can we call for turns on the SBII turn list, and if so can I call a turn?
