You Question the King?!
« on: April 18, 2011, 01:46:33 pm »

Sort of.

If I play long enough to become the capital and the king comes... then I purpose lose the fort to build another one one in the same world... my king would have to die. So does this mean that the civ i'm part of would become leaderless? Would another be elected at the mountain home? Does becoming the capital then Losing effectively cripple/destroy your particular civilization?

Also, there should be an option to abandon the fort but have your dwarves treat it like another town and keep going. Then this wouldn't be a problem. :|

The technical difficulties in making a fort stay running after a player abandons it was too great to do it in the earlier versions. Given how utterly crazy forts some players make, it was too hard to continue simulating whether the Kitten Operated Doom Machine or the Magma Blooded Computer would destroy everything at any given point in the future.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Well, I don't mean the specifics. Just take the population as a whole, increase it according to a regular civ as time goes on, and have it operate as just a regular city. Maybe the new dwarves build it into a normal town instead of what the player has, the only thing that would continue was the wars that city would have, food production and diplomatic relations. I wouldn't be suprised at all if I went ther ein adventure mode and found out the dwarves went ''You know, I don't think we need a machine that melts kittens, and this magma hallway seems a bit dangerous.'' and did nothing with them.

May I just say, as an aside:

I love how you title your threads ;)

I like fortresses because they are still underground.
