Dont you, atleast as player get control over that Were-curse at some point? If it would be the same for the cursed NPC they could orchestrate and attacks, making use of theyr regeneration etc.

Might be similiar for intelligent undead if they have control though with a bit of reduced options. You surely cant go with the more social options but you could always threaten people/settlements, bribe some people with immortality (tze olde vampyr trope) and so on. In the end you could just get someone as middleman that is under your thumb.

Interresting to see in legends mode would be a Undead underling, bribing a General/Lord to incite war with another faction so that the undead underlings boss can raise zombies after a fight.

Cause of that following Question comes to mind: Does the game, in WG fights, tally the dead after a big fight or is there some kind intermediet tally? Like are they fighting for X rounds and count the dead afterwards or do they count them each round?
Could a necro raise the fallen if they were part of one of the sides f.e. if they were under a coveridentity?

Hm... that sounds much like a suggestion, but I guess what you're wondering here in the first place is how blackmail functions in game? Because that's often related to revealing information about someone they wanted to keep private. So ask about that?

Does it? But yeah he question is if "Extortion" and "blackmail" are possible/exist under the current system. 

Also I've been looking at vermin code a lot and it looks like a few kinds can attack (like bees) but most don't. Is there any reason mosquitos don't bite, even without the bloodsucker effect? Would it be traumatizing to dwarves to be bit by a vermin they don't like, or not any moreso than being around the vermin?

Odd iirc. bees do sting and most dorfs dont mind that. [...] Ok like i thought. The Mosquito actualy lacks an attack token in its raws. Bees for example use "VERMIN_BITE" which as far as i see not in the Mosquito description..... maybe a bit of the Vampires bloodsucking could help here?

Well seems like Threetoes stories are so well received that they lead the server to overheat XD

In all seriousness, i couldnt get to the website in the last 4 hours. It just keeps timing out on me here.

So friendships, raltionships and groups in WG

Will this cause changes in Adventure-mode? I know the current push is for Fortress mode but friendships and such would be a big addition in ADV mode.

I mean being friends with say a kings consort could get you into better standing. Heck with friendships alone it might be easyer to find people and shops you are looking for.

1. Will villain level behaviours carry over to more legimate characters? After all Religions are not that much different then cults. Kindoms or Groups of Guards work in a way like gangs on a grander scale too or with different goals.

2. Will Players be an active part of those things. Say a cult officialy wanting to etablish a temple at your fort, Rulers demanding (not just requesting) gear or Warriors. Quests to steal/retrieve certain artefacts where your Adventurer or Fort are approached from a third party (even under false pretenses). Down to a thievesguild using your messhall as meetingplace.

3. Will you be able to enact your own devious plots? Paying people to do "evil" action like assasinating certain people or sending out some of your adventurergroups to recover certain things for you or set stuff in motion.

4. Will there be interaction between the various villian groups and persons? One cult undermining another, certain banditgroups working together and sharing information etc. ?

Now that we get hillocks to spring up around us (and emmiting tribute) will it be possible to (re)distribute stuff so they grow faster or build certain things?


Say if one place sends building materials as tribute you redistribute it to another hillock so they grow faster / Put up defenses or whatever.

Is it possible the magic arc will include the offensive use of potions/extracts like the fire snake's liquid fire, or would such weapons be more likely to be addressed in a different arc?

Potions in general are a tricky thing cause the AI has no real idea how to use them correctly. There were suggestions of usage tags but even those fall short especialy if you create new potions via modding or on the fly.
