DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Would multiplayer work?

Going back to the multiple fortresses on a map, I can see this working in the far far future, but it seems too complex as a first step, though I think the 2+ people control 1 fort just wouldn't work, so my idea?well....
as a first step, have one player control the fortress like normal and the other can control invasions.
of course invasions would have to be made a little harder but what I mean is that for each dwarfbuck value the fort has and per season, the invasion player gets points to spend on troops and equipment, and then when he thinks he has got enough, he can attack,
the catch is of course, the longer you wait, the more troops, but the better defended the fortress is, so for example, spend a few points each season on small raids and keep the rest for one big yearly siege or something like this. This could be expanded by the invasion player also being able to add creatures to the map, which he can control, e.g. instead of an expensive raid, send a wolfpack or instead of storming at the way too good frontgate, send some forgotten beast or olmman through the cavern
