Maybe it was something they wanted to do and  would have done if you hadn't.
Or since they live in a violent world, the are desensitized to mass murder.

Yes. Like a feeling of resignation.

What determines whether a civ will use words from other languages to name their gods? It doesn't seem to be random chance - apparently, dwarves will do so more readily than other civs.

What is the deal with underground animal men turning into vampires? There a lot of them running around, killing people at towns, and it looks like they don't mind to hide their identities as a vampire. In legends I saw one that got cursed by a god by profaning a temple, this is intended?

The bug tracker is probably a more helpful place to post crashes than this thread.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

The future of that particular fortress is... bleak.

But I agree with the bug tracker suggestion.

It is intended that Animal Men become vampires or the frequencies of Animal Men Vampires intended?

What kind of and in what format do you find suggestions most helpful?
I.e. of the following elements which is more useful: A quick idea, a detailed summary, hypothetical tags and RAWs for an idea, detailed implementations, back and forth discussion over a contentious idea, research about historical background, free-form brainstorming, etc.

Just want to make my suggestion forum posts more likely to be useful or inspiring.

Now that the population cap has been fixed, does this mean we will still get migrants when the units list gets exceptionally large? In at least 0.34.11, when the units list totalled over 1,000 units (dead or alive, not just citizens) the number of migrants started to drop significantly.

It seems like the game is getting in order more and more! Hopefully it should now be possible to run a succession game with most things fixed.

Given current events, I've altered my profile pic and I'm sorry it took so long to fix. If you find the old one on any of my accounts elsewhere on the internet, let me know by message (along with the specific site) and I'll fix. Can't link the revised avatar for some reason.

While the units list including dead or alive units is probably a bug, it makes sense to me that fortresses with 1000 alive units (!) should get fewer migrants until the FPS threat has passed, for performance reasons. Eventually, when the number of citizens is very large, emigration should happen.

Profaning temples is the normal way to become a vampire. The only problem is, where do these animal people find temples to profane; aren't they all on the surface in cities? So I guess it is probably a bug; underground populations shouldn't profane temples.

I'm pretty sure the animal people who profane temples come from among those outcasts that occasionally settle in those cities with temples.

Enough of a jerk to get cast out of the home civilisation.
Also, enough of a jerk to profane a temple.

Seems legit.

Whenever I see an animal person in a human civilization, I can with 90% certain say that it is definitely a vampire. I have yet to incorrectly call out a vampire from a flashing animal-person.

Can you make this release's new dialogue more moddable? In the game's data/speech folder, you can change a lot of the stuff people say in adventure mode, but the new dialogue ("It is inevitable", etc) hasn't been added yet.
