The world needs to hear our music!
« on: April 18, 2019, 05:59:53 am »
I'm running a rather small fort with a friend - a legacy game with a strict population cap, trying to raise it only with babies. This is to appease my computer's terrible CPU. We're running a pocket world for that reason.

Since it's a pocket world, there's been no visitors at all in 10 years. There are likely no poets or performers in the world, so I'm wondering...

Would it be possible to populate the world with poets through adventure mode? For example, if I run around convincing people to join me as musicians, would they continue that life if I go back to fortress mode? I think the adventurer would, if retired, but what about the others? Alternatively, if I argue people into valuing music, would I see the effects?

Is "class" still determined by highest skill? If so, that should work. Also, a library full of books about music, but I've never built a library or made books. You can train up musicians at a temple, or a tavern if you don't mind "some" lethality.

Also, "there is only one way to find out." Let us know what you find.
