sounds fun but i'm not oging to live long enough to see the next update

This will all be added soon (tm) because the toad's plan is to give us a ton of shit to do before the "Big Wait" which is a dry period of multiple years that will happen while he adds proper myth and magic stuff to the game.

Last words of a suicidal soul, or cheap jab at a stranger's work ethic? I will think about this while I enjoy my sandwich.

so like october?

Probably. The upcoming features are listed here, under Pre-Magic Improvement Candidates

Oh good another opportunity for me to develop an aneurysm trying to figure out how it all works.

>So brainlet you can't figure out dorf fort.

its not that hard, just keep the wiki open.

>assassinations, torture, leading armies in adventure mode, intrigue, and bandit forts
It's fucking nothing
All fucking nothing

When will Toady actually implement something that isn't shit?
He has been an overrated hack for last 5 years or so.

When will Actually Fun Stuff comparable to caves or minecart be added?
When will farming, crafting, ranching, beekeeping, cooking or building become non-shit?

There is so much great stuff that could be added, but no, muh events, muh dances, muh stupid autism that isn't even fun.
DF is dead and it's Toady who killed it.

>leading armies in adventure mode
>nothing

nigger what

You could have squads before.
Changing small squads to hordes of retards doesn't fix the whole issue with it being just a bunch of cannon fodder retards who have no AI and just go and attack.

Don't underestimate the AI my dude.

Also the military tactics skill has been added so that'll probably come in handy.

>Also the military tactics skill has been added so that'll probably come in handy.
No, it will not.
Toady is just a massive shitter at game design and adds tons of placeholders he never really fills in.
It took him like 5 years to implement a reason to make soap and that was before he turned into even bigger shitter at game design and decided to add dances and 30 different stats that govern fucking nothing at all.

The combat algorithm will always look like this:
>if you aren't a combatant, run
>if you aren't hurt and can reach target, attack
>if you are hurt, run
>otherwise sit there

So far the only real changes to combatant AI was that they select vital organs and stopped randomly grabbing things they have no intent of harming/removing.

>DF is dead
>even though Toady consistently pulls in over 6K a month from donations alone

OK then, it's worse than dead: it's overrated shit for tryhards now, it's "dark souls of base building games" now.

It had so much potential, but all of that is being wasted on stupid shit that is more fun to develop than to play with.

He'll add magic in 3-5 years.

>upcoming updates

first I've heard of it?

Toady's offering the game for free you ungrateful bitch.
I'm sorry some stranger isn't developing his free game the way YOU want it to be. Faggot.

I just started the game yesterday, so far I haven't fucked up. What will I encounter if I dig real deep underground?

>What will I encounter if I dig real deep underground?
Why don't you find out yourself?
Also, keep a copy of your first few forts. You'll love looking back at them once you become more experienced.

Judging by his recent (4 last years) quality, it will be some basic bullshit that requires "secrets" from books spawned at worldgen and only involves throwing fireballs and transmuting one item into another.

>it's free so it's free from criticism!

Having SO MUCH FUN with this game recently.

The ability to enact war against enemy elven settlements, bring back loot like war bears, send those war bears alongside my dorf raiders to deal even more damage

I LOVE IT

Jesus fucking christ

Mine up that delicious cotton candy blue stuff at the bottom. It's fucking broken good for metalworking.

I don't understand u user
Why troll against such a pleasant game

>implying "TOADY IS A HACK BECAUSE HE ISN'T ADDING ALL THE STUPID SHIT 'I' WANT" is criticism and not just you whining

anyone have any more drawn patch notes? this is only one I have

Attached: dfpatchnotes.png (1024x510, 105K)

I'm not sure if you're trolling or just plain retarded, but it's a waste of time arguing with you either way.

Don't forget to add things like [CAN_SPEAK] to kobolds & [PET] to elfs

>it will be some basic bullshit that requires "secrets" from books spawned at worldgen and only involves throwing fireballs and transmuting one item into another.
He specifically stated that this wouldn't be the case several times.

Then expect it to never happen.

>Big Wait
Must be at least half a decade of waiting then, because DF's been moving at a glacial pace the last few years.

I am completely convinced the dorfs can be considered somewhat sentient at this point

Oh, just remembered:

WHEN THE FUCK WILL WE GET MULTI-CORE SUPPORT FOR FUCKS SAKE?

>What will I encounter if I dig real deep underground?
jews

is multi-core support even realistically possible at this point without Toady having to completely redo his code? you know he won't ever let anyone else even touch it to help him with that insane task

Has he done anything about fps death yet?

I remember having my mayor who was good friends with my captain of the guard going to her aid & just standing there for a few secs while it looked like she was staring down a blind cave ogre that had butchered her arms & was bleeding out

While I did order her to attack the thing it always seemed odd to me seeing her just straight up stop like that right as she got to her friend

>marksdorfs stop getting through the fortifications to try to snipe goblins while hanging from the wall, getting hit by an goblin bower, and falling down right into the groups of very angry goblins
why does this fucking happen?
makes want to do away with marksdwarves alltogether

Fuck-all.

Hell if I know, but it's beyond retarded. It can't be stopped in any way as far as I tried.

>is multi-core support even realistically possible at this point without Toady having to completely redo his code?
Yes
There are many sections of the code that certainly can be parallelized.
And those are some of the most expensive ones, like fluid calculations and vision calculations.

if that's the case, it really would be extremely beneficial to get that out of the way before he starts fully implementing the mythology and magic update. I can't even imagine how much that will complicate how resources are used, and if he doesn't start multicore support soon, nobody will even be able to playtest his new shit due to rapidly-increasing fpsdeath

I don't think he gives a fraction of fuck at this point.
He gets money for pimping up the game he hasn't improved for years, he has a whole horde of asslickers who shield him from criticism, he doesn't play his own game and just develops it.

he's definitely not flawless, but I do believe he deserves the money he gets. it's his life's work and it's damn impressive, but I still really do wish he'd at least accept some help with some of the more tedious coding bits. multi-core support really needs to be done, though. I know he has been avoiding it and instead focusing on more exciting shit, and I wish he would stop being stubborn and let someone competent at least help pick up the slack on that end.

Multi-core support isn't happening, Toady is relyong on single-core performance increasing with new CPU models as time goes on.

Apparently he hired a coder to help him with some singular thing and the guy basically had a heart attack when he glanced at DF's source code. Remember that Toady is self-taught and does the whole thing his own way.

Looking at that code must be like staring an eldritch horror in the eye.

FPS isn't really an issue if you play on small forts

I like DF, but I don't have the imagination to enjoy it 100%.

In other words. I would like to see a Kickstarter to see the team making and finish this game in good condition.

just use a titleset m8 or just get taffer's

are you alright???

>that bridge

>that naked dwarf

>two vampires but only one is kept under lock & key

>those toadmen

>that caterpillar eating a gobo

THIS IS AMAZING
