"Destroy or lose artifact" Quest
« on: November 27, 2017, 10:41:53 pm »

I would really like it if there was a quest to, say, throw a rival civ's artifact into a volcano or the ocean.

Huh, now I'm wondering... You can already lie about your identity. If this got implemented, would you be able to lie about having destroyed an artifact, too? Take the ring, go wander around for a while, come back and tell Urist McQuestgiver that you totally threw his artifact into Mount Doom The Teeth of Lashing and secretly keep the ring for yourself.

Just give the Crossbow weapon the [AMMO:CROSSBOW] tag in the raws. You can make a crossbow that shoots crossbows.

Is this before or after you ride the !!Giant Eagle!! home?

LOTR was one of Toady's main inspirations for creating Dwarf Fortress, so I'd say it's a guarantee that we'll see this eventually.

It'll be a while though. Once property, evil schemes and war goals can be figured out properly. It's not something that you can just add to the current system since artifacts are just 'precious things everyone desires equally' right now.

I'm betting this'll happen when espionage becomes a thing for us.

Yeah, the closest thing is pretending that someone gave me the quest and just throwing it into a volcano myself.
