Dwarf preferences linked to Civs
« on: April 17, 2018, 05:24:18 pm »

I think it would be cool if a dwarf's preferences were linked to the setting of the civ they are from. So they couldn't have preferences for exotic things they have never even heard of but might love Llamas and Platinum if their civ has access to those, for instance. They should still have prefences for rare things they are in contact with, if not a higher preference for those. It could also be linked to the speres of any deities/megabeasts they worship. Gems for wealth, weapons for war, coffins for death?

Once memories start being added to historical figures, and those memories are further divided into life stages, I could see this happening. Otherwise it's just one half of a solution, right? People who travel (tons of them in current DF) should be able to pick up preferences for foreign foods and fluffy wamblers that their civ wouldn't usually have access too. And enhanced nostalgia for treats from home, no longer available to them while they're studying in the dark pits.

Need to add addictive substances to make this really complete. :)

Oh yeah, I forgot about memories (just realised that is a bad pun), they could really work well for this sort of thing. You would even get preferences linked to an epic adventure too. Food preference would work well with travellers memories too. Dislikes would probably work even better.
