It would really be like playing some horribly wrong version of Pokemon.

Monthly Mood.  Affects only female dwarves, and when they get it, they kill and dismember the first male dwarf that says 'Good morning' to them..

I'll leave it up to your imagination what they might produce after the mood.

Urist McFemale has created a spattering of blood!

Although the idea of a "Love Mood" is amusing (with the modification Ummon made; the original suggestion needed refinement), the problem with it making legendary children is that when you get a craft mood, you have to jump through hoops to get your reward.  That's fine.  Opportunity + Effort = Reward.  But for the Love Mood, there's no Effort.  It just happens and Bam free Urist McUber.  Now maybe if the Love Mood requires you to create or free up a legendary dining room and a legendary bedroom for them to use and permanently claim, then you actually have to work for it.  Or something along those lines, where the mood isn't just a free dwarf.

Also, Love Moods should go beyond your population caps :-P.  If Armok says a child will be born, a child will be born!

Distrubingness of to OP aside, my fortress born children allways end up being quite pointless. They just dont last 12 years. Either due to me getting bored and making another fort or (more likely) to dying horrably.

So it wouldnt realy matter whether they are legendary or not. And I cant possibly be the only one with this issue. Probabaly. Right?

About the grinding thing: I dont realy agree. Your the one to decide whether or not to do what little grinding you can do in DF. And how would you 'grind' for sexy moods? Make all you peasants dabbling lovers?

Those other moods like the excessive (extravagant!) mood sound fun though. In fact, I would like my dwarves to be a bit more picky about their moody ingredients. Right I have to force them to not make artifacts of microcline (rarrrrg!) instead of native platinum.
And how could I possibly disagree with an Urist McMadscientist making a Urist McFrankenstein? Ah, the possibilities. Cant wait for moods to be a bit more varied.


As for how much of this might actualy happen: Toady said he had some ideas with moods now that a creatures soul is an entity seperate from its body. Not sure about anything exact, but it could be neat. Might be a while untill then but hopefuly there will be something there before the whole magical artifact thing.

Soldiers should get customized weapon style moods.

They declare "I must have axes! I must have rope!" and come out with axe-chucks and become Legendary Exotic Weapon Masters

As to the strange 'romantic' mood... it has happened to me. A certain girl and I, well, we always were close, then one day (totally sober, mind you) we went nuts. No baby though, thank Armok. Never had a relationship with her other than just being friends, before or after. Now dwarves with their drink, I think they'd have a non-stop bacchanalia! Kinda like in Dune, with the party they had after they drank the waters of life (or whatever it was). I know other people who've hooked up like that, as well. It happens. Does it need to be modelled in DF? Dunno.

I think it's appropriate though.
