Hi,
To tackle https://steamcommunity.com/app/975370/discussions/0/5828254465005750153/, I suggest that dwarves can get "bored" or prioritize their hunger and thirst over a conflict.
Smart dwarves might look at these factors:

• The last time a successful hit has been made or really anything interesting
• The imbalance of the fight (if it's 60 of us against one, it's probably fine if I go get a snack)
• How interesting or strong the enemy is

Then, they could still do tasks while keeping a close eye and they can get back in when the factors change.
Dumb dwarves would notice the smart dwarves leaving and could choose to follow or take note that they can prioritize their health for this conflict.
This could add FUN if Smart Urist miscalculates and then the hoard mentality of the others leaves Poor Bomrek against a great forgotten webber. Bomrek dies and chaos follows.

1. Will peasant characters be able to join temple organizations to get bonuses when interacting with related deities? If so, what would the temple faction expect from the peasant character in return?
2. Will the spheres of a demigod character's divine parent matter in determining their special powers?
3. Since property rights are being overhauled, does this mean we can no longer walk into a random warehouse and start stealing goods with no consequences?
4. Will hamlets get a new provider for food for adventurers, since they don't have markets or inns? I assume the property rights update will stop us from stealing food from random people's houses with no consequences.
5. Previously characters could talk to their deity and get no response, with the myth and magic stuff coming will there now actually be some form of response to talking to a character's deity?

Toady One: "Same goes for translation/localization if we can ever figure that out."

Why don't you make a toolkit for translators? By the way, translations for the game already exist, for example, into Russian (DFRus community). But the translation is just terrible, huge chunks of the game have not been translated, or translated poorly. Also exists problem with game`s code. At the same time, one of the obvious problems is that when a new version of the game is released, for example, 50.11 translation for the previous version does not work. It needs to be additionally adapted a little for new versions. Yes, it's fast, but it's inconvenient to bother with it every time.

 also understand that even translating into 6-7 languages will take both a lot of money and a lot of time, besides, Adventure Mode and Steam achievements are now your priority. In general, if there were normal tools, the translations would be done by fans. From a practical point of view, it is also convenient that later this translation could be officially implemented into the game (and why not?). It seems to do so, for example, with Cataclysm: DDA. Of course, the games are different in terms of text volume, but that game, it seems to me, despite the fact that it is less popular in general, has a translation into 17 languages! https://docs.cataclysmdda.org/TRANSLATING.html

I think, with a convenient toolkit, I would do the translation myself

I would really like to know how difficult it is to bring this to life. Thanks!

The one thing about economy in adventure mode is that money is currently just broken and it wasn't always that way.  I forget exactly when it got broken, but there was a time that you could sell items for coins, buy things with coins and everything would work the way you expect.  It would be nice to fix it at least to the point of being able to use coins freely for everything.

There are also weird rules about stealing things and what it means for something to be stolen.  If I remember correctly, it *does* affect your reputation (though your reputation isn't really used for very much at the moment).  Making that kind of stuff more visible and also making it operate in a way that seems logical would be nice.

It was intended as a perfect-world highly optimistic statement, yes. I expect it to take much longer, far longer. Like, once I get a setup I'm expecting it to take... well, longer than is reasonable. It could[/b] be a button press, but probably won't be, I get that, don't you worry.
