Most likely bugs will make DF2014 unplayable for at least another year, before finally there is any point in switching over... And mods will take even longer to adapt... so yeah.... Don't see myself playing DF2014 anytime soon and @qbek: what dou you have to rebind? I play on a laptop, and never ever need a numpad... | ||

Is it not possibl tlele to with the standard ASCII tiles? (I have bridges to wall my fort, and the only way I can tell if they're up or not is by checking depot access.... -_-) If the bridge is only 1 tile wide in the dimension it is supposed to raise in, it looks identical raised and lowered. If you always make the bridge at least 2 or more tiles large in that dimension, it will appear different raised and lowered. So if it raises to the north, it can be any number of tiles left-to-right, but should be at least 2 tiles up-and-down. | ||

DF wiki says to try building a building on it; if it says "blocked," it's up, and if it says "building present," it's lowered. Seemed to work so maybe I'll just stay lazy q_q | ||

Keeping animals trained now is very difficult. I advise turning on animal training for all your dwarfs so one will always be on hand to train. There are some bugs, I've had one similar to the bee hive collection bug where a dwarf will stand still until they die because of some messed up animal training order. If you're going to be training animals for breeding, keep a close eye on their training level and the job manager for if a dwarf has picked up the job, a failure results in a worthless animal. | ||

 luckily their children became domesticated, so I guess I can kill them :/ edit: lolol so a Titan showed up on my map; I have an inner drawbridge, an outer drawbridge, and trade depot in between. Elven traders were in the trade depot when I put up both drawbridges. ... The elves went insane. I opened up the outer drawbridge in hopes they'd manage to leave, but to no avail. Then I tried to close the drawbridge, but as usual dwarves are idiots, so the titan got in and killed the elves. Now a human caravan is around...  !!fun!! edit 2: now a goblin invasion force is here YESSSSS edit 3: wow these humans are imba first killed titan, then killed (with help of my traps) all the goblins wtf now I can trade ^_^ | ||

Only big, hooved animals really do enough damage to hurt or kill each other.

Pigs too. They take longer to set up and get a sizable population, but they make more meat, bones, and hooves. Also they can be milked. | ||

I'm excited for all the new crops in this next version. Toady added so many | ||

It's an easy fix, one line in a RAW somewhere, but you have to do it yourself. | ||

ex. mining 1, hauling 2 = don't ever haul unless you have no mining work to do. Is diagonal waterflow stopping upwards pressure a bug, or somehow intentional? I thought it was dumb; if it's intentional, why? I feel weird about things like Quantum StockPiles and Atom Smashing too. I know it's a single player game so people can just choose to not use them, but I don't like having something set in stone that you either can or can't do. Are there specific changes in 2014 that people are looking forward to or know about? I don't know anything about it (nor do I know much at all about DF) | ||

Are there specific changes in 2014 that people are looking forward to or know about? I don't know anything about it (nor do I know much at all about DF) by default, there is some priority built in, but you can't tweak it, and its often really dumb. Give Food/Water is weighted really low, leading to hospitalized dwarves dying of thirst way too often. The dfhack plugin has some tools to allow you to tweak priorities. Diagonal waterflow stopping pressure is indeed a bug. I Always thought of Quantum Stockpiles as being like stacking things. It's kinda dumb that 5 bones take up as much space as a statue. I agree about Atom Smashing when it comes to crushing enemies, but I think its fine for waste disposal. Until they add an easier way to start and control fires, there's no good way to avoid getting buried in trash other than Atom Smashing. | ||
