according to the future of the fort update, no matter how far away a civ is we can send squads out to them. And if we harass them into war then they will attack despite the distance.

I have an idea for this fort.

Suppose there is some sort of a  capitalist "resistance" force, basically just a group of random dwarves. What if we caused an intentional loyalty cascade that made this resistance force hostile to the other dwarves? We could have a challenge where you have to make sure to keep the two factions separated or all hell would break loose. Roleplay is as trying to keep the peace between two groups of different ideologies. Encounters, when they do happen, will also need to be meticulously managed to prevent more dwarves from getting caught up in the quarrel.

we made something like that a while back, capitalist dwarves that act like vampires to weaken the communist dream in our loyal dwarves until they try to rebel. Look for the full description, it was actually really cool.

Beautiful. MUWAHAHAHAHA!

Comerade. We are here to destroy filthy capitalist and fascist and anarchist pigs. Not keep the peace between them. Commisar Ivan hunt capitalist scum down and give them the beating they deserve!

I'm more in favour of one type for each civ, with something more subtle like [NAME:elf:elves:fascist], so while they show up as 'the fascist civilization of xxx' in Legends, but still appear as elves when you meet them in creature mode. Also prefer hostile dwarf civ to be the royalists (bourgeois) since it's more thematically appropriate :P.

It might be possible to make the capitalist spies attempt to trigger loyalty cascades (capitalist subversion!) amongst your population, but that might be a little too much to deal with for poor Komissar Ivan, who'll have to deal with all the mods we've laden upon him.

Hmm. I like that best. :D And yes, that is more thematically. Maybe make an edit to the capitalist one that gives them royalist allies in a similar fashion?

Absolutely Comerade. I've got a list in the first post. What profession and name would you like?

You know, I notice that I don't seem to be on the list. Did I forget to ask? I thought I had.

Well, anyway. Comrade Spin wishes to be your mild-mannered bookkeeper / secret head of the Bureau of Wet Work, who arranges for the cataloguing, summation, and, when necessary, subtraction of party assets.

Sanctume would like the one wields the axe who chops the heads of anyone.  Someone has to enforce orderz.

Could have sworn you're there. I'll check. *checks* Oh. Huh. I thought I did. Well, I was planning on Kommizar Ivan to do all managering and bookkeeping, but I'm sure he'll look for someone to take over some duties. As long as they're in the same room so he can keep an eye on them.

[Edit] You were put in the 'helped with stuff' part, not the dorfing part.

You can be Chief of ElfChopping. And train the ax-dwarfz.

Peter, sounds like russoified version of paxie, or close enough, I would love to be a metal smith if possible.

"Peter" in Russian would be Petro (or Petya when talking informally).

That's fine, I assumed I was being asked that because Paxiecrunchle would not fit.
