All of this stuff sounds pretty interesting, but I think that someone should compile this all into the mod and release it before people continue posting. There hasn't been a release in too long.

I completely agree. Halfling has not been active for waaaay to long. Maybe we should start a new thread?

I'd say starting a new thread should be reserved for the imminent release of DF2015. It's in the final bugfixing phase after all, and a new DF version would seem to be an ideal breaking point.

And once we have a new thread, holding folks to some kind of release schedule again might be smart :)

Ugh I dread how much we'll have to change our raws to make them work again.

Sounds good. I'd have to start all over again anyway cos I lost all my raws. And to be honest with the impending college-going and other things in my life I'm legitimately too busy, rather than just making excuses.

We could always just start fresh.

That would be even more work, though.

On an unrelated note, it seems Grazer player-civs are possible, according to this science. Perhaps something for if we do start over, or even if we don't (although we do have a rather large assortment of thinking beings...). The playstyle would be very different, I think. For larger forts, you'd probably have to set up a rotating system of underground muddied rooms to secure a safe food supply. Could be fun :)

i was actually wondering if we should put this in the modding section of the forum, seeing how it's primarily modding, and the concept of turns has seemingly vanished.

I'd be perfectly willing to play a turn in Fortress Mode and in Adventurer Mode if someone would actually post a new version.

Whatever we do i can only manage the occasional raw interjection. I've hit the point where highschool meets real life meets slightly clingy family. Plus a laptop that somehow drains all the power from our house.
Not much i can do currently.

Aye, same here. Fortress mode mainly, though. I shudder at the mere thought of bumping into a panserblekk in the open without a meter and a half of steel plate between my vitals and it.

Oh come on, they're not that bad. You just need to give them a little love. And possibly a bribe.

Maybe we could implement a plant that is the Panserblekk equivalent of catnip?

Actually, what are the current behaviour-related tokens for the Panserblekk, and which of the remaining tokens could syndromes add?

EDIT: Also, would anyone like me to make a taxonomic list of our current creatures?

Does that mean male hydras... oh god dammit.

Unless someone edited my raws in a later turn, they have [BENIGN], which means they prefer to avoid conflict unless severely provoked. I really think these adventurers must have tried attacking one, or at least standing next to one (sine animals in adventure mode usually run, but will lash out at adjacent things.) They don't have any tags that would cause them to chase you.
