About the circus... (spoilers)
« on: May 24, 2015, 01:15:56 pm »
More curious than planning to do this (I have logged more hours reading the devlog than playing the game), but -snip- if you open the circus and your fortress crumbles to dust, will traveling troupes of clowns roam the world map to brighten the day of anyone nearby?  In other words:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edited because the original question was badly written after the snip, as seen here:

Bugs from Normal Games: "The game stutters for six seconds before crashing."
Bugs from Broken Games: "The lighting is weird and the characters have no faces."
Bugs from Dwarf Fortress: "The horses outnumber us. I have seen settlements with a thousand horses to a man. I have seen them in the deepest caverns. They are everywhere. Liberate te ex equus."

Actually, just broke into HFS, definitley *met* a few people DF mode, then retired fort and came back as adventurer... very lonely, I must say... didn't meet anyone but dwarves. I know the guys I met in DF mode were still hanging out though when I retired...

Once when I unleashed the circus, the clowns entertained all of my dwarves except a lone prisoner in his cell. So I abandoned the fort and went into adventure mode. There were several clowns that had left the fort, wandering the surrounding area.

If you let them destroy your fortess, you'll eventually find some clown wandering aimlessy in the surrounding. But they'll not form a "clown army" to attack other sites, at the moment. Probably this will change in the future, but i don't know when that could happen... it would be nice to unleash doom on the world!

Would be interesting, playing in a world that's slowly dying as they tear down civilization one settlement at a time.

Fun thing to do on a succession game: retire fort, unleash hell, unretire.
