I don't think you understand what Wrassling Honor means, GWG.

You have to Wrassle after joining it, or the field will dampen your actions majorly.

How the heck does a spaceship/laboratory AI wrassle?
...Deadly neurotoxin?

To put it simply. In that field, you could wrassle a child..

You could attempt to nuke that child, and it would grab that missile, shove it up your ass, and then fling you into the air, all with Wrassling moves.

That seems discouraging...

Examining the map, I think I'd prefer Italy.

It seems to be the South America of Europe.

Start by getting the books.

(Alright GWG. I think you have made it to my camp now, so we can do diplomacy. Do you want to start, or shall I?)

Sure.
"Hello there. Who and how are you?"

I found a new way to make fun of Minecraft players.

Stop arguing. Seraphim, your idea outlined has so many requirements and disadvantages that it's almost completely useless, and it hinges on the idea that dwarves worship Armok. Look at their Relations screen some time, they don't.

Anyways, the war golems are especially broken. You need to sacrifice a weapon lord--not exactly a common resource--to get a decent golem. Plus a huge number of resources and four prisoners. Oh, and it can go berserk. All this for...increased size, weapon-hands, lowered vulnerability to damage, and a lack of metabolic needs. Granted, those are good things, but they're not earth-shattering (a goblin army could tackle it and chip at its armor plating until it lost a limb, for instance), and if you're spending that much effort you should be able to get something good from it.

But this brings me to another point about balance. Giving a gamechanging thing huge costs isn't balanced. 99.9% of the time, things aren't perfectly balanced. Usually, the imperfections are smaller than random chance, but when the cost and benefit are so huge the disparity is more obvious. In addition, something gamechanging is even harder to balance than most things, because it changes the game.

Anyways, I think that a. there should be many types of golems and b. they should have costs proportional to their benefits. Simple, right?

Neat idea. Presumably, this would be based on the AT_PEACE_WITH_NATURE tag.
I'm not sure if it would be sad or hilarious if they brought chinchilla guards.
