Spies and dorfint
« on: February 20, 2014, 02:14:37 pm »
A fairly simple suggestion. Maybe we could have spies from bouring/enemy civs seek to infiltrate our forts? They could come for recon missions similar to how kobold thieves and goblin pedophiles work, or immigrate with a cover story like vampires and try to gain your trust while sabotaging your fort and scouting it out from the inside for their hippie paymasters. Rooting them out would be fairly difficult without a competent and amoral justice system in place, and maybe it would give more of an excuse to play a McCarthy-ist tyrant, but all in all isn't ensuring fortress security against the elven KGB more important than a few wrongly accused miners?

Elf-in-Dwarf's-clothing, spotted pretty quickly...


For right now, I think only babysnatchers would be able to infiltrate... but once multi-species critters are allowed then it gets a bit easier to slip in a mole.

Well the way that civilizations move and shift to one another is actually going to be improved in the next update. Multiracial civs might actually become a fairly big thing soon.

and goblins certainly would have stolen children sent in as infiltrators.

Goblin-raised dwarven guards-turned-regicides sound fun too! Dwarfsassin's Creed anyone?
