HELLO BAY TWALVE THIS IS DUNAMISDEIS WE ARE FINE NO CAUSE FOR PARTICL CANNON. HAVE NICE DAY ARCURAN SOUNDS DELICIOUS. THANKS YOU

*Looks in direction of text feed.  Gimmie a second guys, looks like Dunamis set the circus loose on town, clearing up the problem now.
*BOOOM*
Anyone have word on that plugin?  This dragon is getting a bit uncontrollable.

Ha ha wait guy I was just----

Someone made the tech to fix that, right?  The one that brings the planet from before the event back?  I really don't want to see what we will go through this time to get out of the constantg mess that wrecking planets causes.

Yeah, it's fixed.

----kidding, nothing to worry about. Hey, did something happen?

[TheBiggerFish]

Yeah, explosions.

May want to triple check up on your offworld communications systems and demonic countermeasures.  Your planet went offline for a bit there.  Maybe do a temporal resync as you may be a bit off with the rest of the universe.

[Egan_BW]

Oh yeah, you died and must have gone back to an earlier savestate. Here, I'll pass you the state of your mind at the exact moment of death (and no later, hehe) so you can merge back.

[Dunamisdeos]

That's it, I'm going to Risa, and I'm taking my best friend COMMANDER WILLIAM RIKER with me.

[TheBiggerFish]

Oh boy.

"Hey look, Toady implemented magic!"

You just now noticed?

Since DF isn't connected to the wikiAI by default, the intelligent creatures will keep any bugs that were in the Entertainment Intelligence agents at the time DF was published.^*  Looks like DF uses types 2, 8, 19 and 108 (remember that type 66 is added by the Supervillains Mod and not part of vanilla).  Anyways, you can look at the change logs on wikiAI to see what kinds of problems will give your critters fits.

Well, more precisely your household AI can check the change logs for you.  No human has been able to solve the Captcha on wikiAI for almost a decade, but I digress.

A patch just came out for the type 19's stating that agents will no longer overreact to colors considered offensive in their assigned culture.  DF uses type 19 for flying creatures.  I thought I'd have some fun and make keas offended by green and watch them try to do battle with the trees.

Giant keas inherited the same distaste, which made for some fun until an elven army showed up to defend the trees.  With their green-dyed tunics.  For once I'm rooting for the keas!

^*This is a safety feature.  One of the earliest experiments with AI in Dwarf Fortress scheduled all of the visiting humans for slaughter.  It was 2016, so they weren't real humans... but it seemed to spook Toady.

Does anyone know how to set the magic sliders so that magical creatures exist independently of spellcasting? I've tried setting general magic to 5/100, but that seems to make wizards teach everyone cantrips that expend the entirety of their lifeforce to cast.

Anybody read Firebird? Yeah, that was kind of close to modern AI. But the physics was just ridiculous. There is an ever-approaching Grand Theory of Everything, getting ever closer to absolute certainty, but never reaching it. That's truth. Bah, humbug to all who claim there is no GTE. Like the author of Firebird. Good author though.

Edit: Yeah, I read stuff from the 2000-decade. And from Britain in the 1980's. So what?

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Dear god, dear god.

My dwarves have declared war against me. I lost control of a huge portion of my fortress three hours ago. They have been blasting loyalist dwarves with nukes and fireballs. they have begun hacking this computer! help!

Dude, exit the game and come back not in god mode.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Dude, exit the game and come back not in god mode.

If this doesn't work, I'll loan you my Crusader save.  In it, the whole world has essentially turned into a singular nation that effectively worships a hindu-esque pantheon of the players and holds attempting to travel between realities without the express permission of the players as the absolute highest of heresies.  Level of tech I have them at is a little on the absurd side, but I have yet to encounter a situation where requesting them to go to a trouble world doesn't solve the problem near immediately.  Well, except for that one time, but the alliance with Cthulu, Yog-Sothoth, Hastor, and the others solved that problem.
