Funerary Rites & Tombs
« on: September 19, 2019, 09:41:06 am »

I think it would be pretty amazing if you could arrange ritualistic funeral events, with characters that are more important to their society getting more elaborate funerary rites. Think like how Egyptians would remove organs and seal them in canopic jars for the afterlife, and how more important regal figures would be entombed in structures commissioned and built during their lifetimes. I just think it'd be a fun feature, especially in adventurer mode plundering these sorts of tombs etc.

Already in the game

Love it when people completely ignore a post and respond to the title.

Suggestion has been made a few times previously though. Some people have put in a lot of thought in quite detailed threads. If you have new ideas to add, it's OK to necro suggestion threads. It's not like "old" means anything in a game with a decades long development plan.

And thoughts on generalized celebrations and customs:
