When water skins are finally fixed
« on: November 27, 2006, 11:08:00 pm »

Could it be possible to allow them to be picked up by non-military dwarves, and used in the same way? I could very much see a dwarven Liquor shop selling water skins and flasks filled up with booze /syrup, and dwarves carrying these around with them, drinking from them and filling them up when they're empty.

On a side note, will cups /mugs /goblets ever be used to drink liquids from? It'd definitely be another (better) way to improve dining room quality, instead of adding in more space-consuming chairs /tables.

Bloat45 is related to your first suggestion.  I'm not sure how long it would actually take to set up a liquor store, though Demon suggested bottling wine earlier, and it might work with that.  The labels will be fun, if the bottles get labels.

Mugs (and instruments -- Bloat94) were designed to be used at parties, but I'm not there yet.  It's a potential nightmare of hauling if it isn't done right, but I don't like attaching all kinds of utensils to buildings either.  Partying dwarves can spend a bit of their current party time setting up for it though, and then the rest using the items they bring, so it might not be so bad if they have to pick a few things up, especially if they can carry them all at once and they are stored in their rooms or something.

Sounds great! Especially the labels thing...as far as I'm concerned there can never be too much randomly generated goodness.  :)

Hear, hear! I personally can't wait for my "Mystical Moats of Tranquility Dwarven Ale" or "PowerFortresses Strawberry-wine".
Also, on a related note, will there be a way to  make personalized engravings/labels in the vein of "Here lies suchandsuch who gave his life..." or will it forever be up to my Dwarves twisted, Dwarf obsessed imaginations?

I...  I guess there's nothing *immoral* about letting you type your own text in various places.  But...  the little dwarves like to do things.
