As I was playing DF, I got some interesting ideas.

1: [liSP:X], to permit other speech patterns (Catfolk who purrrrrr when they speak)

2: Gender dimorphism tags (Female spiders are much bigger than males... I mean, a male GCS wouldn't be such a threat...)

3: Genderless creatures reproducing (like giant ameobas or something terrifying like that)

4: Additional [TOY] power tags... [TOY:doll:dolls]? I don't think elf-children play with mini-forges, but I know human children play with dolls...

What do you all think?

[wilsonns]

I think that the 2) will be implemented in the next version.

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

Awesome... any other ideas?

[silhouette]

i like them all.
and 2 is the only one that will be implimented next version.
also something about toys... sometime..

I can imagine the lisp for cat people who have a whole name full of r's.

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

The cat people idea was because I'm trying to mod a version of DF that fits into a universe I've created... and any self-respecting fantasy universe has catpeople. ^_^

You can mod in toys yourself, very easily.

The main problem is that toys can't yet be made out of leather or cloth, to my knowledge, even if you add some in without [HARD_MAT].  Thus resulting in basalt teddy bears and steel dolls.  Which are quite dwarfy, but it doesn't make sense to sell those to humies and elves.

Hopefully more customizability with craft production will be in the next version too.

[SirHoneyBadger]

These are very good suggestions.

The only thing I'd like to point out is that your title for the thread is ambiguous. I avoided the thread for a while just because there's no indication what it's about, which is unfortunate, because all of these ideas are worthy.

Maybe one clear thread for each?

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

Well, I would have made a new thread for each of these, but on forums it's generally frowned upon for a person to start totally spamming the boards with new threads, you know?

Also, I didn't know about the toys thing... toys cannot be made of wood?

[SirHoneyBadger]

It's not really spam if it's good. 

I can't see toys not being able to be made from wood, or leather, or cloth, as something that will last forever.

[DarthCloakedDwarf]

So, would you say we should kill this thread and split it up into its constituent parts in different threads?

[SirHoneyBadger]

I think it might possibly attract more people if you did, and maybe lead to a little less ambiguity within the thread, but it's your call.

created an artifact moon stone toy hammer once...
Really should be a use to toys for children...

And damn i want that lisp for my lizard people.
