What about the moving rocks of the Gobi desert in Mongolia? In adventurer mode just walking through a desert, and you find some rocks racing you...

Boars, bears, ponies, donkey's and possibly giant eagles would all be sensible choices for dwarves to ride, it would just depend on the terrain.
Actually dwarves should TRY to ride anything that is bigger than them. Imagine riding and elf into war.

DF Suggestions / Re: The Swamps of Forever
« on: June 18, 2009, 04:40:09 am »QuoteNow build a fortress on it.-It should rather be impossible since there is nothing to build a foundation upon. Though it makes me wonder if there should be places so dangerous that they allow you to take more people with you when you Embark (or some way to have larger Embark crews such as funding them through fortress mode)
If you could fill the swamp in with gravel or loam, then it would be possible to build on.
Quote
Hermits walk the depths of these places, luring nearby travelers to their doom
I dont think that all hermits should try to kill you. Some might join your fortress or give you quests in adventure mode. But some hermits might just burn down your fortress or assassinate your adventurer.

Also, dwarfs might go ice-fishing in winter, or in cold climates. They'd punch a hole in the ice with a sharp object (pick's fine) and then fish through that. That would be a great way to provide a little more protein and fat in your Fortress's winter diet.
This would be great if scurvy was implemented.

DF Suggestions / Different animal breeds
« on: June 12, 2009, 02:18:29 am »
Cows, dogs, cats etc. should have different breeds with their own respective attributes.
E.g. a rottweiler would be better war dog than a fox terrier but the fox terrier would be a better guard dog than the rottweiler. An alaskan malamute would give more meat than a fox terrier.
A freisan cow would give more milk than a jersey but the jersey would give more meat.

« on: June 11, 2009, 11:29:30 pm »
Maybe change "Abandon Fortress" to "Retire Fortress"?
But only if the fortress can cope on its own, if its undersiege, has no food or is flooded then it would be "Abandon Fortress". But if it can survive then you get "Retire Fortress"

Will we still have to rip out the wall to put in a pipe? Because I dont want to. I would rather rip out half the wall.

Falut lines sound good. When choosing to embark the warning would be "warning you are choosing to embark on a fault line, you might have
a random "screw you."
