I dont like this idea, mining a good fort and BAM! death. Maybe different kidns of gas? maybe even a good gas that makes dwarfs dwarfier.

I know! A gas that makes dwarves happier at first...but its baslicly "simiHFS" in that constant use eventually causes death.


Would be great for Nobles traps to keep them happy (and dead) be the first line of defense.

Dwarven economics are still in the experimental stages. The humans have told them that they need to throw a lot of money around to get things going, but every time the dwarves try all they just end up with a bunch of coins lying all over the place.

Do you always look at it in ASCII?

You get used to it, I don't even see the ASCII.  All I see is blacksmith, miner, goblin.

I'd limit them to metamorphic rock, and make them reasonably small. Preferably, it shouldn't be able to kill dwarves except through prolonged exposure.

There are a few mods for v28 which had a primitive version of this, by the way.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Why not do something like the Black Lung Mod?
