    Default Dwarf Fortres 2010 - The crusty tombs of misspelling

    Released today, I've just downloaded it and been tooling around a little, and it's legit, and seems pretty neat so far.

    In legends I read of a giant feathered earthworm. The feathers are downy, but the earthworm looks gaunt. Somehow.

    Oh, and now the only button you need to get out of a menu is Esc, not randomly Esc, Space, or F9.

    If a mod would fix the title I'd be mighty appreciative.

    Damn, the website is down cause of weight of traffic.

    Edit:

    The wiki located here has the file available on the main page

    I'm very excited, but I think I'll wait for some of the major bugs to be smoothed out.

    For those of us who are not Jeremy, the Wiki has a link and brief instructions to get Mayday's tileset in DF2010: DF2010:Tileset - Dwarf Fortress Wiki Edit2: Scratch that perhaps, it's not all working properly yet it seems, quite a few things are missing. Edit3: Nope, that was just me not following instructions properly.

    Going to take another crack at it now!

    Oh, yes, and remember how Toady said megabeasts would be buffed in worldgen? He wasn't smurfing around, first thing I looked at was a 500 year old dragon with 250+ kills, still alive. As far as I could see not one megabeast had died during genning.

    Edit: New world looks awesome. The parameters to make island realms is beautiful, I don't know if I'll ever do otherwise. I have discovered a moderate island known as The Adorable Continent.

    I chipped in a $50 donation for the release. I encourage you all to chip in, too!

    Conibo was a forgotten beast. An enormous eyeless camel. It has large mandibles and appears to be emaciated. Its scarlet hair is long and shaggy. Beware its poisonous bite!

    I also have another one. A giant hairy light blue snail with wings that "undulates rhythmically".

    EDIT: Giant blob of vomit spotted. It also has wings and poisonous spittle!

    I brought LOTS of alcohol. Forgot to build a well. All my streams and ponds froze over. I forgot to brew more alcohol. Dorfs start dying of thirst. Caravan arrives. No Liason or trader. Fist fight and tantrum destroys depot. Liason leaves unhappy. Everyone dies.

    You forgot the crucial three words: Fun is had.

    You're right. I also found adamantite and a cavern and it was ridiculous the amount of baddies I brought up. I erected a wall after killing them, sealing them away for eternity.
