Hmm so you don't have to do the ramps thing any more? As that was about the only safe and quick way of digging down with out the dorfs either trapping themselves. I wonder how cave-in happy they still are..
When you channeled out a tile in the old version, it left an empty tile on the z-level below the dwarf. Now it produces a tile with an up ramp in it, so all you have to do to dig into the ground is to channel. No need for building and tearing down staircases or whatnot any more.

If you have to irrigate for all crops now though (maybe surface crops still work without irrigation), what on earth do you do if you want a desert fort now. I have read though that it may be a bug and not intended.
Surface ones seem to be as they were.

Oh, and has anyone else tried out the military yet? I'm finding the new UI hard as heck to understand. Thank goodness for the DF wiki.
