Title: Suatues of heroes
Post by: DwarfFrog on November 09, 2007, 08:09:00 am
Hello everyone,

I would be nice if the satues make by my mason displayed some local heroes doing some great achievements (like engravings works now). I would like to see my dwarf enjoyings some nice statues of themself beaten by the goblins for exemple...

It could also be a noble requirement : the baron suerely want to have all the hall of the fortress covered by statue of his face!

What do you think about this ?

I'd like statues to be of stuff.

"This is an excellently made rock salt statue of a Dimple Cup"

"This is a superbly-crafted obsidian statue of a dwarf and a goblin. The dwarf is being sturck down by the goblin."

"This is a masterful aluminum statue of a dwarf. The dwarf is raising a platinum idol."

I agree - statues should have descriptions just like engravings.  Only problem I can think of is save game compatability.  Still, better to plop generic or even chronologically incorrect (a dwarf raising the lead sword, when at the time the statue was made, the sword hadn't been created yet) descriptions on old statues than nothing at all!  Besides, any future statues would have perfectly appropriate descriptions.

When we are able to mod workshops, someone ought to give alchemist's lab an 'Animate Golem' option, which would make the alchemist go get a statue and give it life. Your own tame iron elephant would take on entire armies by itself!

This idea is awesome. Imagine one of your statues getting possessed and attacking your dwarves. That could help making the game more challenging. How to get around to it well I can think of two things. Possession no long only target dwarves, and can go for statues. Or you can add a new creature. Something like a ghost that goes around and animates/possessed furniture... Killer chairs! Run fer your lives.
