Better burying
« on: April 03, 2013, 01:49:45 am »

Not many related previous threads. Here's one: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109712.0

Currently setting up cemeteries is a bit boring and a bit of a chore. My suggestion is, when a room is designated as an unassigned tomb:

* all coffins have the same settings as the coffin the room is designated from.
* if there's empty pots and no coffins designated for pets, pet corpses get put into pots and stored in the tomb.
* related dwarves will occasionally claim trinkets and store them in the same room as their relative's corpse. It'll show which dwarves had more connections, as their tombs become richer.

I wonder, what would they do if someone killed their king.
Inevitable, who cares. Now an onion...

I like the idea of stuffing pets into pots.
Speaking of burial, has anybody suggested cremation?

Yep. It'd also be interesting to see some human civs put the organs of their dead generals into pots.
