Armok is going to be completely disregarded in the Myth release, by the way.

Armok has always been completely disregarded. He's a myth invented by fans to justify juvenile bloodlust fantasies (and, yeah, I know a procgen Blood God named Armok appears in one of threetoe's stories).

Sorry, but that is simply not true! The game title itself is "slaves to armok: god of blood". The fans just elaborated a little bit.

If I recall correctly, the name "Armok" was actually chosen for the original "Slaves to Armok", inspired by a variable called Arm_ok. The reason Toady does not include him in the myth/deity stuff is because each world is created differently in that respect. Also, Myths are just what the people think happened, not actually anything that has to be true.

I always go with the "When the world gets boring, Armok reforges it" believe. That also explains why the inhabitants of the world aren't aware of his existence (for the most part).

Well, lets see what this would accomplish:

1) Dwarves would spend more time eating/walking to/from food stockpile. since a strawberry still requires the dwarf to pick it up, possibly bring it to a table, eat it and then decide if he should resume a usefull task or go back and eat more.

2) make some sources of food more practical then others, even if they yield the same amount of items and therefore require the same amount of labor.

3) make the game somewhat more realistic, although true nurishment of course isn't depending on size.

I am not sure WHY you want this to be added, but those are my thought on it. Also, your information is a little of according to DF wiki: Dwarves consider eating at 40000 ticks, and I was unable to find the size of strawberries and other such plants on the wiki or in the raws.

Sry if it sounds like im dragging your idea through the mud, I would be genuinely interrested in hearing why you want this. Also, where did you get the size for prepared fish from? since your writing that most food has a size assigned to it.

 

You could have all your non-specialist dwarves make stone blocks. That way you're getting a useful product, and they're satisfying their craft need. And if your peasants all become novice masons, then you have better chances of getting artifact furniture (especially doors or hatches) rather than crafts.

Wouldn't this also quadruple your item count, thereby decreasing FPS?

So currently you cant dedicate a temple to a goblin deity?

Insert Armok and your answer works too

No, seriously, The theory that goblins and elves are related is very plausible. besides being immortal, they are also the same size at adult and become children and adults at the same age (1 and 12 respectively). besides the immortal part, these traits are however also found in dwarves, making it plausible that all races are in fact related to each other.

Well I think the biggest plus for magma is that its not an exploit. I mean, you can all play how you want to, but if there is a bug-free way of doing something, ill damn-well take it!

If you just want a prisoner, I believe enemies caught in cage traps dont need food or sleep either.
