I am not sure, as Toady is still (I hope) planning to crush new bugs.

[GrizzleBridges]

the worst bug (for me) is the children clothing tantrum bug, but I cant see it on the list.

[M_So]

I took out a 200 goblin siege with 6 cave dragons, flying mounts (giant bats) and trolls (only loosing about 12 dwarfs) but I had to give up the fort thanks to a legendary ambusher necromancer bringing back the same 3 goblins over and over and over...

Worst bug is Bug #5312 in my books.

Actually the necromancers' raise ability isn't controlled by regional raise interactions in evil biomes. Necromancers can use their power almost every turn, and raise a vast amount of zombies in one use of it.

The highlighted tags are important when considering an interaction's ability to target items to apply an effect to.
1) LINE_OF_SITE in the TARGET string designates that target A can only be chosen from what the AI has LOS to. Adventurers ALWAYS operate under LOS because the player is unable to do anytihng outside their LOS or through a wall, but if an NPC got a hold of an interaction that didn't require LOS they'd drive you bonkers with it and murder you through walls. (because they're cheating bastards)
2) TARGET_RANGE defines how many tiles away a target can be to be valid. Dunno if it includes the tile the caster is standing on or begins with one of the 8 tiles around them.
3) WAIT_PERIOD is the tag that is creating the problem for you with necromancers. 10 is a ridiculously small value. Testing in the arena with my own modded interactions, a value of 50 lets one use it about every 2-3 turns. Necromancers are severely overpowered because they can use this interaction every single turn.

4) Not included in the necromancer raws and the second biggest problem with them is the lack of the MAX_TARGET_NUMBER tag. Implying that the AI can instantaneously select and raise an ungodly number of corpses all at once, if not entirely infinite (I'm sure there's a number big enough the game just can't track it anymore.) Hell, they could raise a literal ocean of bones. The player can do this too, but you'd get cramps trying to select every last one whereas the AI has no such physical limitation.

So, if Toady would just reconsider how often and how many corpses a necromancer can raise, all would be well and you would have a decent chance of surviving against them.

06/03/2012 Toady One More fixes.

    handled child clothing thoughts, hopefully for real this time

there you go =P

I personally like:

made soldiers eat from backpacks/drink from waterskins earlier
made dwarves pickup items in a more responsible order for armor layering
added indication for assigned items in specific item list for military equipment

Now we just need some more hospital fixes and *my* personal list of irritating bugs will be much smaller.

[Rafal99]

My personal bug list already got much smaller:
- made dwarves pickup items in a more responsible order for armor layering (Bug 4932)
- added indication for assigned items in specific item list for military equipment (Bug 5485)

I even created both of these bug reports!

[dennislp3]

Yep...those were major for me...now docs need tweaked so people don't die from them just doing nothing while they bleed to death.

[Kogut]

It seems that the bugfixing phase is finished

Therefore I will start a new poll (BTW, with a new account - Bulwersator)
