In X-men animated series there was a story of a character being born to an austrian duke or something - which one and which episode was that? I can't remember...

I wonder how many of us want to play DF adventure mode in The Sims style - to create your character, and live his or her daily life. To do your job - whether it is soldier, or metalsmith, or a lawyer, and build a home for your wife and children to live in. I really want to do that in DF, sort of like in The Sims, but with a lot more things to do, and where you can actually do your job instead of getting into a car and disappearing. I can easily find joy in doing simple, everyday things as my character, but what I want most is to see progress in his life - to see him rise in his job, build, have family. If I am a craftsdwarf, I want others to use things I make. If I am a judge, I want to provide justice for people of my town. I want to enjoy small things, such as beer with my neighbours in a local tavern. I want to be the part of the world and interact it, preferably in a peaceful way. I really want DF to be the game where you can have fun not killing anyone.

Am I the only one?

Make DF great again!

What do you think - should it exist or not?

Personally I am against it as it prevents employment of young people, and forces those redundant to be sacked as their employer cannot afford their work with already outrageous taxes that in EU cause more and more businessmen to close their small and medium companies. Some of my friends have lost their jobs like that, and it is not fair. They would have gladly worked for less but can't now.

If a person wants to work for less than a minimum wage, how on earth can anyone forbid them from doing so?

What are other most complex games, I mean DF level of complexity.

I know Aurora the space sim, it is indeed quite complex but it literslly takes about 10 minutes to do one turn after about 50 years ingame so I passed.

Preferably strategy, roguelike, 4X or simulation.

I don't want magic. I don't want my DF world to be full of spells, magic swords and other gibberish. I like it to be a low fantasy world. Will I be able to generate world with no magic?

We can now build buildings, hire workers, there are taverns now, is there a chance we'll get to be tavern owners soon, able to sell drinks, rooms, listen to the newest rumours, hiring performers or performing ourselves? That's my dream since I started playing years ago.
