Historical achievments
« on: December 08, 2008, 04:11:36 pm »

Not sure, maybe smth like this was already suggested.
An adventurer should leave behind some memories other than "He killed <list of names>" Right now I can only think of exploration records, like "He swam across the <named> sea" or "Visited capital of <civilisation>" or maybe "saw half of the world". Greatest heights adventurer climbed and depth he dived in and so on. Right now legend mode is only useful for map export T_T

Also, it would be great if adventurer could get depicted by some civilization he had connection with. For example engraver of a new settlement of StinkySock dwarven civilization would make an epic picture of Urist McRestless of StinkySock, who left the dwarven hall in some year to butcher the nearby goblin tower. Goblins can't engrave, unfortunately, but engravers of some ShinyWalls dwarven civilizations would depict Urist McRestless as a crazy frooling dark dwarf eating their children, even tho he never did, and just paid a visit to stock up on sum armor, for free.
Well that's too cool to be implemented in near future.

Sounds like a good idea.

-X killed Y
-X was the first to explore M

It could also be implemented for dwarf mode
It would be useful for creating stories.

-X was the first dwarf to reach Z-Level 10
-X was the first dwarf to discover adamantine.
-X was the first dwarf to manufacture alcohol from a still.
-X planted the first Plump Helmet seed.
-X was the first dwarf to lose an arm.
-X was the first dwarf to tame a kobold
-X was the first dwarf to trade with the elves.
etc.
