For starters, you can't make gold axes.
Other than that, throw in more detail and Trebor's interpretation sounds okay.

With the idea of using this as a basis for a new game mode, there wouldn't be major issues with how the world is simulated. Just as in adventure mode time passes differently than fortress mode, so it could pass differently in this mode.

If it was a new mode, sure. If it was Fortress Mode, it would still be an issue.

A similar thought has occured to me, but applied differently. What if on the "Tab" screen there were 4 additional options; Expand map one tile North: Expand map one tile South: Expand map one tile East: Expand map one tile West:

This way you could start a 3x3 and then make it larger if you wanted. There have been times I wished the map were just a little bigger for something I planned. Or how about it you "conquer" your map, set all yor defenses just as yuou like then, then wish to widen your area to add a layer of complextity. Turing your 3x3 into a 5x5 would be just the ticket.

Could be neat, but I think that it should wait for more optimization/better computers.

ExecratedDwarf: I didn't choose random crap, I actually went to each sphere and thought of how it could meaningfully affect gameplay. And Toady has said he'd like to replace generic good, evil, etc biomes with sphere-based biomes.

ebbor: While I still don't think it's important, Toady has accepted help before and I suspect he'll do so again. If enough people want it, he might add the new music to DF.

just admit it you guys want OP magic to fix everything.

One that fixes trolling would help yeah.

Also, I don't want OP magic that fixes everything. I want magic that might create more problems than I started with.

Agreed. Objective, this is a thread discussing how to make magic not OP.

A perfectly pristine area with a lot of resources is outright better then a hellish location. With absolutely no trade off.

One is a lot less Fun.

Yeah, but does that count? And does it matter?

THAT'S LIKE SMASHING ANTIMATTER INTO MATTER. It'll probably cause MORE PROBLEMS!

I LIKE IT!

Than5s to a roll of s5x, that did not happen.

For someone on my side, you spend a awful lot of time ignoring me, and denouncing me, while doing whatever you want. Explain to me your concept of "sides" for it appears radically different from mine.

Excuse me, I seem to have missed any commands you gave me. Need a new device? It comes with a standard Aperture Science Warrent...never mind, I'll draw up a better one.

"HEY DRUNKS, I THINK WE MAY NEED TO REVISE OUR PLANS A BIT. MORE MEETING?"

YOU DRUNKS ARE NOT REAL DRUNKS, FOR EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WREX IS THE TRUE DRUNKEN IDIOT.

Oh, and I'd like to see Xantalos v. Celestia. Hm, maybe I should have a bidding war. Whoever gives the biggest bid gets my next action! After the tea party, of course,

Sounds acceptable.
