"Outpost" mode? Heresy?
« on: August 07, 2011, 08:58:49 pm »

Has it ever been suggested that outside of Adventurer mode, there could be an Outpost mode where you could run a settlement of humans?

Or is this heresy?

I just was curious what the response would be.  I'm not particularly malthusian so I don't mind the idea of building a human civilization in savage lands.

All other civs are planned to be playable at some point or another.

Also if you want to know if something has been suggested before, the search bar is just a few scrolls away.

Actually, with a bit of raw file editing so trivial that it doesn't even deserve to be called a mod, this is already eminently achievable. Just cut and paste [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] from dwarves to humans. Or to elves or goblins for that matter, though I don't think kobolds or the underground races will work at the moment.

I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

It doesn't work for kobolds, for sure. I put [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] to the kobold entity, and I could not find any kobold civs.

thats because all kobolds die off at year 1.
they need to have the goblins [NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] tags added to work.
