Re: Why Did Devs Decided To Only Allow Humans As Outsiders?

After reading this conversation, I decided to try adventure mode.

I ended up making a group of adventurers containing a few dwarves, a human outsider with gremlin and black mamba pets, and a wolverine man doctor.

I managed to get the group to a fortress I had retired with just one poor survivor of a group of 7 that I had sent to reclaim a fortress lost due do accidentally breaching a vein of valuable blue metal.

Then I retired the group of adventurers, and un-retired the fortress. I now have a fortress with a few dwarves, a human outsider with gremlin and black mamba pets, and a wolverine man doctor. However, I cannot assign any of them to noble or military position.

Hopefully they will have time to help clean the mess, make coffins and engrave slabs, etc. before getting too depressed due to seeing corpses and ghosts or meeting a hidden clown somewhere...

Maybe I should retire, re-send adventurers, retire them, unretire the fortress, etc. until I have enough workforce to rapidly clean the fortress.

Don't quote me on that.
Cacame channels aquifers into submission by staring at them. Cacame is so badass, kobolds give him their children to leave them alone. If Hidden Fun Stuff digs too far down, they hit Cacame. Cacame once took a Tantrum Spiral and impaled four enemies on it.

Well, seems difficult: Clowns occasionally show up, and a ghostly dwarf miner kills fortress crew (in fortress mode) or adventurers (in adventure mode) almost instantly.
