This seems a lot more ambitious then Dredmor. Have you guys picked up any new staff to handle the load?

Have you guys begun working on how combat and damage will be handled? Will it be super-detailed DF "you have split the flesh and torn 3 layers of muscle tissue" or "this unit has lost 24 of 50 HP" or somewhere inbetween?

Uh, why on earth would you want this? The end of fortresses to 'everyone is sad' is one of the worst parts of Dwarf Fortress; cascading failure isn't really something to shoot for in a game.

Cascading failures help games end, which is kind of the point in a theoretically endless sandbox game. Snowballing catastrophes is kind of a feature of the genre.

What are the odds we're going to see those plant people in the finished game?

Spawn more Overpickles.

edit: Overcukes? Overgourds!

Does this mean we can get vile, Cthulian Squash, slowly taking over your population ala Pod People?
