So, the mention of player-run Inns/Taverns in the current dev log made me think about how cool it will be when that functionality is added and then enabled in Adventure mode, combined with site-claiming, so that we can play AS an innkeeper or tavern operator as a kind of mini-game....except in a fully dynamic simulated world with a dynamic economy and dynamic stuff going on all around. That thought just blew my mind.
  And this only promises to get more awesome as more player-run sites are added and as the world becomes increasingly complex and dynamic. (Army/politics arc, more site types, Hero and Criminal Arcs, etc.) Now add in the "making time pass" functionality and I look forward to playing through multiple generations of a family as they build a trading Empire and a chain of Taverns across the known lands, while hiring mercs to "take out" unfriendly local leaders or the heads of competing entities

Ultimately Adventure Mode could far surpass Fortress Mode when you factor in all the potential for mini-game play, random SCIENCE, role playing, and the like.

Mind is boggled.

Which mode is better would depend on your preferred play style, since all of the things you've mentioned will also apply to Fortress Mode. Why be the owners of a trade empire when you can function as the capital of a landed empire?

Other than that, though, I'm also really excited for the new Adventure Mode stuff.
