Dwarf Fortress > DF General Discussion

Excited about the recent update - "ex-wife", "unmarried with children", "druid"

(1/4) > >>

Bortness:
Latest update (January 16th):

- "ex-wife"
- "never married, several surviving children"
- "druid"

These are major and unexpected world updates for this "pre-big-wait" cycle, yes?  I find myself very excited for things of this nature - highly improved emergent storytelling.

Props to The Almighty Toad.

vjmdhzgr:
Not just several, but seven! Remaining! That's a lot of children.

PlumpHelmetMan:
Really everything about this upcoming release seems to be a tremendous boon to emergent narrative. Villains, complex relationships and networks, substantial improvements to religion and trade dynamics, more interesting legends as a result of much of the above.

Chances are that once I generate my first world for the next release, I'll be spending hours pouring over the legends alone.

This is why I still have faith in the future of DF, sometimes it seems like Toady can do anything once he sets his mind to making it happen. :)

BTW druids are already a thing, albeit just as the name of a religious position in elven civs, they don't really do anything druid-y (that'll probably change during the Big Wait).

Grand Sage:
Well, they are also the de facto leader of elven civs, but yeah, they have been there for a long time.

PlumpHelmetMan:
Oh right, forgot about that. :P
