Changes

This release is mainly to handle the issues with specific piles.  There are a few other bug fixes as well.

[Pacho]

Woo!  Can't wait to use this version.

[DDouble]

New releases always make me happy but when nothing on the dev list even rings a bell for me, i have trouble getting excited. I can't wait for HF: Human Fortress! Yeeee-A humans!

[axus]

The new pile bugfixes look like they'll be great, I'm going to "test" this now

Pfft, I'm waiting for Wizard Tower.

But in terms of closer things, I'm also looking forward to the Artifacts arc and the Adventurer Skills arc.  It will be fun to be able to, say, craft your own equipment in adventurer mode, or set up your own little base somewhere.

Hmm.  I wonder, will adventurers be able to play Suikoden and recruit people from all over the world, then plant them at their base?  Of course, having them stay at an empty base just because you tell them to probably isn't very realistic...  But possibly they could stay as long as you feed them or something.

...although, I'm also looking forward to all the things to make the world come more alive.

[Toady One]

I've never played or even heard anything about Suikoden.  But yeah, they'd need a reason to stay.  I guess the drunks just need booze and so on, but no matter how much you have, there probably wouldn't be much when you come back.  Unless you score some kind of dwarven artifact barrel that's always full...

The next Future of the Fortress will probably involve the Adv Skills Arc, although we're not 100% decided.  It's important to get more of those basic elements in, anyway.

[Kylaer]

Drinks are properly stashed in food stockpiles now, yes?

Also, can I use the same world, or must I generate a new one? I have a nice fort started, but it isn't very far along.

[Toady One]

You can always use your old saves.  Drinks should be working.

edit: always unless you went through 22d or whatever it was...  the horror.

Same here.  Fort Mode is awesome, but takes a lot of time to dig into.  As such, I'm not always willing to throw time into messing around with new versions.  New A. Mode content is always interesting, though.  I can't wait for the next batch of goodies we'll get to mess around with.

How is this release in terms of save compatibility ?

Well, in Suikoden you are hatching a revolution, people arent just staying with you because you feed them.  

[Toady One]

Saves should load and be fairly normal.

In Suikoden, the player always has a fortress of some sort, and they have to go around the world recruiting people for it.  Most of them are party members who you can take with you or leave at home, but it also includes armorers, general-store salesmen, appraisers, mapmakers, a guy who installs an elevator, a kid who stands by your front door and tells everyone the name of your fortress, that sort of thing.  Basically, building a fortress by adventuring around the world looking for interesting people to take home, without actually having to spend very much time at the fortress.

As I recall, a few of them actually are just staying with you because you feed them.

But anyway, what I was really getting at is how PCs founding towns will work.  They could guide a caravan to establish the initial location, then 'recruit' people for it by wandering around and making offers...  your town would have to be able to support someone (say, by having a steady supply of raw metals for a metalsmith, or a decent amount of cash on hand for a merchant) before they'd come.

Basically, it would be nice to be able to have some effect on civilization with the computer handling most of the details, and without having to go into the extreme commitment of fortress/town mode...  sort of building up a combination between a town and a base of operations, maybe.

In my opinion, this would be a great way to go. It would really add to adventurer mode, and would be nice for poor dwarves and elves, and especially custom races, because they could finally get some gear.
