Dwarf Fortress 0.40.16 Released
« on: November 12, 2014, 01:39:12 pm »

Download (Click refresh on your browser if it doesn't show up)

The purpose of this release is to make stress from long-term separation due to goblin snatching less severe and to stop attackers from always winning in post-world-generation non-player battles.  The fix for the latter could not be done cleanly at this time, so the battle readouts in legends are a little off compared to the ones from world-gen, but defenders are very often successful now.  I also fixed some missing aunts/uncles/cousins in the listing of relatives.

Stress is a big problem for my current fort, any alleviation deserves my thanks.

So, thanks!

Thank you for the continued fixes.
Does one have to generate a new world for the invader fix to be implemented?

Thank you ToadyOne. This release is much appreciated in terms of those fixed issues. *hugz*

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

Great news.

Toady, fyi the download button is long broken. Refresh does not have any effect. It's broken no matter what device, browser, or network you try.

It could be more obvious, but the button is just a link to the main page/dev log, where the current download is found. It's just deactivated because it is the main page.

Never-mind, I see what you mean. I don't recall that button being highlighted before.  :-X

Nope, it should work for the very next army that arrives at any site (aside from your fort, where it is still up to you to win!).

*On hands and knees* THANK YOU ALMIGHTY TOAD! I had to try and stick with 40.13 until those two were fixed.

I wonder how this will affect invasions in adventure mode.

Thanks for the update.  I really miss the big and constant ambush/sieges from DF2012 but this is a nice fix too.  Maybe now that all sieges don't end in goblins favor we could have more sieges like before 0.40?

I noticed a lot of changes in interface.txt when I ran WinMerge, what was improved there?

It would help if you posted the diff and verified that your previous interface.txt was a vanilla one.
