To give some idea of the amount of background detail, here are some bug fixes/​reports:
Stopped prisoners in goblin sites from starting no quarter fights with their rescuers
Stopped adv goblin performance troupes from attacking strangers while traveling
Vampire purges in world generation to control their overfeeding which was stopping cities from growing
Stopped cats from dying of alcohol poisoning after walking over damp tavern floors and cleaning themselves (reduced effect)
Fixed world generation freeze caused by error in poetry refrains
Performance troupes are active in world generation and into play, visiting the fort, can be formed in adventure mode
Values can be passed in writing (both modes) and through adventure mode arguments (uses some conversation skills)
