DF Suggestions / Re: Travelers

This would be awesome!

Some way to differentiate between when it was an inimical dorfmaster and some magma and pumps and when it was when the idiot traveler running into a group of kobolds/goblins/elephants (Boatmurdered).

Also, wouldn't it be cool to give sanctuary to some? Like they were being pursued by some faction or another and they needed a place to hide, and you could kick 'em out or help 'em if you so wished (or help 'em and then drop them down a pit) and then the other faction/civ would show up and you could turn over their bits for a reward, or drop them down a pit too.

And magma.

I read part of the opening post for this thread, and then the tl;dr version of your layout, and I had wanted to say, "I think making a section of Dwarf Fortress intuitive and easy to pick up for newbs would be sort of outside the scope of DF and against its grain. Like intuitive, non-esoteric quantum physics or the electoral college: bullshirt."

Then I read the post.

Good show! It's complex and automatable enough to be awesome and interesting, but so far beyond what anyone is expecting to EVER have to go through (i.e. just like the rest of DF) that if a newb thought they could pick it up, they may as well start drinking liquor right after breakfast.

You have my vote. I was actually thinking farming was a little too stupid simple and could be way epicer.

Hey there.

Dwarf Fortress is awesome, have to say: what an incredible game. I'll always remember my first game, and not knowing wtf to do and getting all seven dwarves beaten to death by a river by a sasquatch (or bigfoot or wookiee, I forget - it was years ago). Luckily, having played numerous dungeon crawls, I thought this was par for course and a decent game.

Anyway, I'm back!

But, newb as I am, I really wanted representative icons for my playthroughs on this game; the only thing that ever bugged me about dungeon crawlers was never the random deaths, the OP enemies, the completely absent tool tips, the learning cliff, or resentfully expressed lack of f**ks given by the game or its creators, but the ASCII 'graphics' where one time an e is an eel, and you step on it, and the next time, the e is an elf, and it cuts your arms off and kills you on an altar to your own god.

Okay, shutting up.

Summary: 3D/nice looking mods that work with current DF versions?
