Legends HF Physical details
« on: March 20, 2018, 06:52:50 pm »

Is there any way to see the details of Historical figures in legends mode? Similar to looking at someone in adventure mode? I think that it would be a nice addition if there isn't.

Also, in related historical figures, I think it should include siblings, and other such relations.

That's included in the overall data Legends gives you, but possibly not yet accessible within Legends Mode. Export the data (x) and open it in an external viewer and you can see the relationships.

Is there any reason why duels don't give much information as to what actually happened during the fight?

Oh and random question, I would like to be able to look at a world in legends, while at the same time I have an adventure or fortress game going in that world as well. Are there any plans to make this possible?

Here's how I achieve that result currently:
  • Use the Lazy Newb Pack
  • From fortress mode, in DFHack: open-legends
  • Then, in DFHack still: exportlegends all
  • Switch to LNP launcher, Utilities, and run Legends Browser (I'm on Linux so this is my Legends Viewer)
  • Profit!

How do people see things like what weapons historical figures used? Other than when the weapons are artifacts.

Items that aren't artifacts aren't created or tracked during worldgen.

No, I think angels are specifically hidden from legends (probably to create more of a fun surprise when they ARE encountered).

I think that it should be optional to have all information revealed in legends mode. I dislike having it hidden from me, especially on worlds specifically created for viewing in legends mode.

Isn't there an option like that in advanced world generation anyway?

"Reveal all Historical Events" or something. Might not apply to angels, though.

That said I admit that having access to the individual descriptions of HF in legend mode would be really, really dandy. Descriptions of phenotypes by population, and more information on their culture (what is conscidered native and foreign to them, how do civilians dress, how do soldiers dress, where do soldiers wear their country symbol etc) would be also immensely appreciated

Angels don't become hist-figs until you encounter them in-game. So there's no individual info on them (I think).
That's why vault raiding was so simple before non-hist figs were counted. Actual Angel population info can be viewed from Legends by exporting the population data ('p', I think).
Historical demons, like goblin rulers and such can just be viewed in the historical figures list directly.

Would need more Science to see if Angels who you encounter in-game can be viewed directly in Legends though.

No but, let's say I want to know what the ancient king of my country looked like. He's dead for 30 years, his description is not available in Legends. That would be very, very nice if it was
