So, Giant temple of blood, surrounded by magma, and has possibly chained demons. Horrifying sacrifices to a unamed entity. What else?

What else do you need?

Creativity!

Seriously, how many succession fortresses DON'T end up with some variety of a Temple to Armok at some point? That's why  advised other kinds of Fun temples, and tries to hint at people coming up with their own fun ideas! Even a plain old Temple to the God of Fire, where people and items are burnt as offerings, would be slightly better than plain old "Another temple to Armok! Were so originil!"

Creativity is great. Yes, its cliche. However, at least there is a goal besides: Don't die.

And the graphics. That turns off loads of people. And, by the time we reach this hypothetical "User-friendly" point, graphics will have advanced to the point where some players just hear that the graphics arent stunningly realistic, and will automatically stop.

I love the ASCII graphics. They're responsible for turning me into a gaming recluse.

User friendly DF? Not gonna happen. Hell will freeze first, etc.

Dear Urist.

This is a nice embark. A very nice one indeed. Deep soil, sand, clay, and there's gold everywhere once we dig down. Even though everything is friggen blue and sparkly, it's a nice place. So why exactly did you park the wagon in the MIDDLE OF A GROUP OF ALLIGATORS?


(Quickest fortress destruction I've had in a good few months)

Dear dwarves of WhipChane:

THERE IS A MASSIVE STOCKPILE ONLY TWELVE SPACES AWAY FROM THE BUTCHERS SHOP AND FARMS! For the love of Armok almost 20 of you say you have no jobs, so STORE SOME OF THE FOOD THAT YOU'VE LEFT ROTTING FOR 3 SEASONS!!!!!!! I need those mushrooms stored so i can brew and that meat from the war elephant who starved to death last month so you don't DIE, now i'm trying to make the caverns safe so i can set up a magma foundry and give you militia armor and weapons, SO HURRY UP!

- Sincerely your frustrated and bitter overseer.
