Will we be able to build?
« on: February 08, 2014, 02:35:09 pm »

In the next version, there are things like site claiming and taverns. I know you could reclaim a fort or just claim an already built castle as your base but what will happen to the Inns and taverns? Will they be normal buildings in a town and you must step in the bar walk up to the current Barkeeper and heroically battle it out?


Also i kinda want to build an Inn on the side of a road, far away from the city. Sort of like a stop for travellers, heroes and caravans, to rest. And then make a "special gnomeblight drink" to defend myself from mountain gnomes. Or retire and visit it with your new adventurer to save yourself from the bogeymen, man that would be cool... Oh God...i cant wait... plz toady plz

This thread is why I love dwarf fortress. We start at engravings of wagons and end up using necromancy to raise them from the dead, and were-wagons.
I jumped off a ramp in a cave and exploded.

It's planned, but definitely not in the next version. I believe you can pretty much take over towns, though, so you can sort of own a tavern.

Try modding!

I believe that there's a mod out there called Adventure Fort or something which allows you to dig, craft and likely build. That said, I've never used it so I really don't know. But still check it out, it may be just what you're looking for.

How does one activate this script? I never found out.

It's absolutely planned that eventually you can stop and setup your own little site, and eventually grow it to a fortress, if not other types of sites, however who knows how far away that might be?  Yes you can take over other sites, but afaik you can make no structural modifications.

Type in 'gui/advfort'.

You may want to add a keybinding to the dfhack.init so that you don't have to keep typing the command in over and over again.
