If your fortress has more than one hunter, they should hunt each other.

As if DF weren't already the most dangerous game...

In adventure mode, you must assume a false identity in order to interact with cyclopes. Said false identity will always be named "Nobody".

DF Suggestions / Custom engraving of weapons and armour
« on: October 03, 2023, 05:21:45 pm »
What it says on the tin, pretty much. It's always kind of annoyed me TBH that objects can't be custom-engraved the way walls and floors can. You're pretty much totally at the mercy of artifact makers when it comes to decorating objects, and the end result is often that the image on your artifact warhammer is something completely random and arbitrary (such as a pair of lentil plants) rather than (as should be the case) something meaningful to the player. Does anyone else feel a similar way? Figure I can't be the only one who wants to engrave custom images depicting my favourite worldgen battle onto the weapons and armour of my militia.

I've heard in the past people say the game is to complex, so I say we simplify it by removing everything but dirt and water, but even that is probably to complex so lets also remove water and just leave the dirt.

I dunno, man. "Dirt" is a pretty nebulous concept in its own right once you get into it (for instance: are we talking soil? Some other kind of sediment? Just general grit or grime? Not to mention that dirt usually contains other non-dirt things). Best remove it too, just to be safe.

+1, though in fairness it's really only a slight decrease in challenge from the ASCII version. If you've ever gone ahead and checked a vampire's inventory they almost always wear excessive amounts of hair/bone/fingernail jewelry from their victims that (in my opinion, anyway) gives them away just as blatantly.

Dwarves will still fight over socks even as they're being killed by them.

Once all nouns have been smurfed, other word types will start being smurfed based on category (next moving onto pronouns, followed by conjunctions, verbs, adjectives, prepositions, and so forth) until all sentences in the game eventually become an unreadable mess of either "smurf" or one of a handful of less-than-helpful variants (such as "smurfed", "smurfing", "smurftacular", etc.)

This will, of course, have the bonus effect of serving to make the players who already hate DF's UI even angrier.

So basically a necromancer that turns people into kobolds instead of zombies, got it.

Dwarves should have fights about sports and sport teams but sports are unimplemented so they will only fight about stuff that happened in worldgen even 1000 years later.

Meanwhile their preferred "teams" are just randomly chosen civs/entities.

Dwarves who root for elf/goblin "teams" are ostracized by other sports fans.

Keep in mind that DF is still barely past its alpha stage and many current game features should be considered placeholders at best. Every aspect of the game is already planned to become more complex in the coming years, including interpersonal interactions.

All cats in your fort will immediately defect to the clowns' side as soon as you breach the circus.

Does that mean elf weapons and armour are now also made of cake?

Wait...would elves become offended if you try to serve them cake?
