When improvement of artifact behavior is done, preserve old behavior differently
« on: June 16, 2022, 09:20:40 pm »
Here's my suggestion:  When the new artifact behavior is introduced that makes them more magical and gives them new properties, the old behavior of "a person's single best work" should be preserved under the name of a magnum opus.  Perhaps some tweaks to the behavior could be done—for example, if strange moods are still used for artifacts and therefore can't be used for magnum opuses, it could perhaps instead take a very long time to construct intermittently.

Interesting idea.

Perhaps it could be a potentially annoying personality trait? Chance to trigger any time a dwdarf makes a masterwork. "Perfectionist, to the point of impracticality". Leads to great items, but takes a season, and is really annoying if it is your best weaponsmith and the goblins are knocking..
