When I said dukes I meant barons and counts as well, it's just that I tend to forget sequence they come.
I recall you said something about barons and that now players need to deal with useful nobles only, and I liaison hadn't ever offered to choose one, that's why I've thought that. Guess it was because some of them got slaughtered then.

Also, cave wheat and pig tails take 100 000 ticks to grow, one season lasts 108 000 ticks, dwarf takes a step once in 100 ticks, when season ends plants that do not grow in the next one disappear, which means dwarf must plant a seed in 8 000 ticks (80 steps). I'd extend allowed season to autumn it's still one harvest.

I've noticed that. In fact that was the pre .23 setup. Someone whose name skipped my mind atm lied to me. I'd fix it in the next release which will still be a .25 targeted release. I learned my lesson. Trying to catch up with "technology" mean you'd never finish what you want to do.

How's it going, Rephikul?
Come back and deliver us from dozens of purposeless animalmen 

[rephikul]

Slowly, because reading every single animal raw a very tiresome work to do.

And here is a list of animals currently in the game with some description or goals I have for them. Red ones are in danger of being removed.

Have you spent lots of time buffing hydra just to remove it now? It's not like there's great variety of megabeasts.
Also, vote for spidermen and sponges from new version to be kept.

[rephikul]

It was an error when I create new column. It'd stay. The unfortunate megabeast that didnt make the cut was Roc, cause dragons already cover the flying archtype. I'd eventually make a transforming megabeast of primal chaos but that's for later.

I havent touched .34, let alone testing those =/ How stable is 34.02? Should I wait for .03?

[Di]

Pretty stable, I haven't any crashes yet.

[Vherid]

Now that we're at .05 with a good chunk of things fixed, and toady already moving back to old fixes, I think it's a safe bet to get back to it
