[Solved, thanks a lot] My mason hates a deity?
« on: January 12, 2019, 10:19:04 pm »
Hello.
So im trying to create an statue to my wealth deity, Inod, but the mason just creates any other image.
I have tried everything, and asking for literally any other design works just fine, including other deities. Help? Whats happening? Thanks

EDIT: It happens with every historic figure called "Inod" with every single Mason. How curious.

Often an artist will create an image of another artist creating something having been inspired by the god you're trying to make an artwork of.
It's sometimes not immediately apparent, but Legends will give you the full story.

Not sure about the avoidance of Inods in your world though...

If you choose "Related to historical figure" then you'll get a *historical event* related to that figure. Your dwarves appear to have little or no knowledge of events where Inod directly participated, so you end up with a tangential image like some dwarf writing a book about him.

To create an actual image of Inod instead, select "Specify a new image" of "Historical figure" "Inod". You can optionally add other elements as well (e.g. "Action" -> "X is laughing"). Once completed, your design will be saved as an "Existing image" to simplify future orders of the same design.

Wait, wait, you can specify what a statue will depict?  :o

Yes you can. I actually managed to make one of Inod on a triumphal posture!! Thanks a lot for the help. Making custom statues is giving me so much roleplay :D
