Family Trees

Would it be overly difficult to have a graphically represented family tree?

In the style of, say:



While the current 'relationships' tab is okay, it would be pretty cool to have the game auto-generate them.

Are there technical difficulties here or do you think it's a case of 'probably won't get around to it'?

I doubt this is something Toady would get around to soon, but it's still an interesting idea :) It could probably be done in dfhack, although graphics like this would be pretty challenging. :(
I would like to see a better relationship navigation system, though. It's hard to keep track of my location in the current one...

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

A family tree interface is part of the consolidated dev page, and as such is likely to come in one of these days. Of course, as it was a bloat, it is likely to be of lower priority than other things.
