Ah, I see now. The psychological manipulation isn't nice, but it's a bit better than just insulting someone.

Do you mean that players who work hard to get legendary dwarves should be rewarded, or that legendary dwarves themselves should be rewarded for THEIR hard work? The first point doesn't make much sense (except for some non-moodable skills, like beekeeping [part of the reason I thought the beekeeping legendary feat should be cooler than most]), since the player can just run a fortress until they get a mood or work a dwarf hard. The second is a pretty good point--"I worked all my life to become the best mason in the world, and THIS is all I get?" (Of course, this might mean that Legendary status should be harder to get outside of moods...)

Cool design.

Again, the THEORY is that a legendary dwarf is legendary because of the feats, not the other way around. I think I agreed that some sort of waiting period between "Legendary Skill!" and "Ooh, legendary powers!" would make sense.

And, DwarfMeister...I appreciate the support, but...I don't really get your point either. If you can't explain yourself better, please don't make the supporters of this idea look like...welll, people who can't explain themselves clearly.

How is my post unclear? Perhaps, if you gave me an example, I would make it more understandable for you.

Alright, I will do so.

What's everyones' problem with babies, anyways?

I MEANT that there are things that are NOT INTENDED to happen in Masterwork, like the turrets blowing up for no reason or adamantine spires. For these things, it's good to check, "Say. is this supposed to happen in Masterwork?" There's not going to be a new subforum for every mod. So, yeah, we should get Meph to explain some of the stuff, but there's not a lot we can do but PM him every time we see a thread whose OP is confused about a Masterwork feature.
(And "total conversions" are still mods of DF if they use the same base code as vanilla but aren't. Just semanticking you.)

...So he did. I guess that that makes sense...might be good to spell out "Masterwork," though...

Try ordering the jobs through the job manager (j-m), see if that works.
