[PLANT:MUSHROOM_HELMET_PLUMP]
   [NAME:unshucked plump helmet][NAME_PLURAL:unshucked plump helmets][ADJ:unshucked plump helmet]

   Every plant needs a structural material so that the game knows how it behaves when it's alive.

   Here the material is added to the plant, using a template from the material file.

      [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:SEED_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:SEED]
      [MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:EDIBLE_STALK:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:MUSHROOM_STALK]

   Here the material is marked as the structural material (this could be below the edible tags which come next).  In general, you can use LOCAL_PLANT_MAT|<token>, PLANT_MAT|<plant>|<token>, CREATURE_MAT|<creature>|<token> or INORGANIC|IRON (though the game might hiccup for a while specifically on plants that aren't structurally plants).
   [BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]

      We also modify it a bit to make the plant edible.  Any token material can be used here to modify the material that was created from the template.

   Next we establish an alcohol material in much the same way as the structural material.
   
   [USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRINK:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]
      The material template is just called "alcohol" so we need to give it a proper name.
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:ALL_SOLID:frozen dwarven wine]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:LIQUID:dwarven wine]
      [STATE_NAME_ADJ:GAS:boiling dwarven wine]
      We also set a few more numbers to distinguish the alcohol from the template.

   [DRINK:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:DRINK]

   The seed material and information is established in a similar fashion.  Other plants (including trees) add materials in the same way, though trees cannot be used at this time with seeds/thread/drink etc.  They just use the TREE tag to obtain a wood material (they also have a structural material for their live form).

People would each play at one of the in game civilizations

Be able to use adventure mode characters and to found forts for their nation in fort mode. These forts can be probably trapped (have not tested this myself) automatic drowning chambers, trained/disciplined troops, have ready to use companions for adventurers.

People could take turns, like say everyone gets a year to build up their fortresses, then each person gets X months to improve existing or start new forts and Y lives at whatever adventure level people agree on and rounds up entity members to attack other peoples retired forts.

Goal is kill all your enemies people or sites or whatever.

It is possible to take an adventurer+companions to a retired fortress site retire them there after killing native fortress members. If the save is loaded and the fortress is unretired, the retired units remained on the site in testing and were hostile to my Dwarves. I was able to kill them.

Adventurers are able to visit sites and take things to other sites (you can steal items from your enemies if you don't have say an anvil and they got one lying around, or picks etc...

Take command of your Militia Commander and lead
your comrades into battle!

Escape from slaughter: In the chaos of the Goblin/FGB attack
you might manage to escape with the clothes on your back,
items on the ground, maybe you can recruit people your dwarf
was friends with to take your lead and attempt to escape the
site alive.

Build your own sites with the tools that already exist in
fortress mode.

Play as that forgotten beast that you just found and take
out your old fort (or a challenge fort set up by a friend).

Sneak into a fortress as an animal man steal some items, run
away and find some friends to start your own
fortress!
