Title: dwaves on quest
Post by: xdarkcodex on February 04, 2010, 02:29:38 am

How about In fortress mode some of your militia/hunter dwarfs may leave your fortress to seek fame and wealth or what ever. You could like give him/her a few supplies like food and weapons to start off if they inform your king/queen before they leave and he/she may return if they're still alive to give you a bit of their wealth, tell stories to the children, aid you in sieges, have a few drinks, bring slaves etc.

Maybe the dwarfs might come back to assassinate the king/queen and attempt to take over your kingdom if they were treated badly before they left(constantly upset, thirsty, hungry), or kidnap a few legendary skilled dwarfs and hold them for ransom.

Thoughts?

Emigration is a popular suggestion:

Don't worry, Google's AI plays DF in its idle time and its name is Footkerchief.
