AVWW Beta 0.581 "Oh, Carp!" Released!

[Dizzard]

I have played DF in the past and have enjoyed it. Although I prefer the adventurer mode over the fortress mode. I really like the whole Legends part of the game...it's something I would like to see more games doing.

The only issue really....and I am totally not a stickler for graphics when it comes to games, I like to think I'm very easy going with how games look....but goodness DF is really hard to take in visually. :S In particular with things like ground levels and slopes.

I heard it got some updates recently I must check it out.

If AVWW has DF referenses, it will be loved no matter how bad it flops I'd love to see DF referenses in AVWW, so fire away, Chris

There are already at least half a dozen.

What, is it in French or something?

I believe the phrase "pardon my french" used to apply in such contexts, so I suppose so

It's archaic french, meaning "roughly good," Adam.

DF can be heavily modded, graphically. Check out "IronHand" and "Phoebeus" for some alternative graphics.

Yea, with a good tileset the graphics really aren't that bad.  Where I lose steam is trying to use the interface to tell it to do what I want it to do, and not wanting to spend that long doing it.  Dwarf Therapist helped a lot (been a while since I tried) but in general my ability to concisely express orders and my computer's ability to keep the sim running smoothly tended to bog down.  And the motivation/direction tended to peter out around then, too.

But definitely a game so awesome it is more phenomenon than game.

Since there's so much talk about DF, I figured I'd share this.

Just to let you know, 0.581 isn't selectable for the version when reporting on mantis.

Fixed, thanks!

Say, did enchants that remove fall damage intentionally lose that trait recently? I had a jump power/move speed/no fall damage enchant and now it's just jump and move speed. What up with that?

Edit: I think I am wrong and I was looking at one enchant and thinking it was another enchant. I will leave it here so people can point and laugh.
