Greetings comrades! Soviet Bear here today to teach you about enemy. Of course, enemy is filthy capitalist spy seeking to overthrow glorious communist regime.

Devil secret of capitalism is initially learned in worldgen and engraved upon a slab. Subsequent said dwarves become filthy capitalist spy who seek to overthrow fortress from within. How can greedy devils threaten might of glorious communism I hear you say?

Well, first, they murder you in sleep. Second, capitalist spy try to seduce weak communist dwarf to become capitalist spy as well. Only way to strengthen mind of weak communist is to perform loyal duty to Party and shout 'Glory to Mother Mountainhome!' in dining room every day. Third, when the number of capitalist spy is too many, they hatch secret plot to overthrow glorious communist regime. This is why capitalist suspects cannot be allowed to congregate together in proximity, and capitalist spy suspect must be eliminated immediately.

Spoiler: Technical details (click to show/hide)

So here is I came up with - capitalist spies who seek to overthrow your fortress from within. The secret of capitalism is initially passed down through a slab, turning the dwarf into a capitalist spy. Think vampire, murders your dwarf in their sleep, but lacking all that not living bits.

In fortress mode, capitalist spies will be able to covertly convert your dwarves into captalist spies as well. They must be in touching contact with another dwarf to convert them. All dwarves initially get the ability to shout communist slogans - this has the side effect of strengthening their belief in communism. Only dwarves who has gone too long without reinforcing their belief in communism become valid targets for conversion into capitalist spies.

It gets more complex from there. When secret capitalist spies congregate within close proximity of one another (30 tiles LOS), they have the chance to incite a violent revolution, becoming opposed to life and attempting to kill all your dwarves. This process requires a minimum of 7 dwarves, and works on a badge-based system where they need a specific set of badges to begin the revolution. This means that the probability of a revolution is uncertain, increasing with the number of capitalist spies in proximity.

When the capitalists become numerous enough to overthrow the communist regime, all capitalist spies in the fort have their true identities are revealed (no matter where they are), and they become hostile to all living creatures, do not require sleep, eat, or drink, and will shout capitalist/anti-communist slogans at their enemies.

Wow, that was quick. Should we give it COMMON_DOMESTIC so that our civilization always starts with it?

Da, Comrade. As ze Soviet Bear I will bear ze great responsibility of arming our bears.

Wait, can you name animals? If yes, can I be "dorfed" as a cat?

It wouldn't take much to mod in Mother Mountain home starting with tamed bears, I'd definitely be into that

I think that they'll be fine, as long as we don't have too many vermin eaters. I had a dwarf stuck in on a patch of land between a river and the border for like half a year, and he was fine. There was a lot of "job canceled:hunting vermin", but he made it through with no problems. They're much more likely to die of thirst than starvation. We should do some experimentation first though, to see how far we can string them along before they start to have problems.

could they actually survive off of one meal per season? I know that if they get really hungry they'll try to catch and eat vermin, but I'm not sure if that'll be enough for a whole season.
