The Mingling of Perceptions

Not sure if this has been suggested yet,

But what if you could enter a sort of pseudo adventure mode within fortress mode, so you can control any dwarf within your fort?

That'd be pretty useful for checking out LOS on martial architecture.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Pretty sure it's planned. Fortress and Adventure modes will be merged at some point, IIRC.

Well, sort of, anyways. I'm sure you'll still be able to embark immediately with 7 dwarves without having to round them up in Adventure mode first, unless you want to. You just won't have to retire the fort when switching to adventurer perspective.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Yeah totally,

I think there would be tons of reasons this would be great, just the military aspect alone, charging into battle with your squad with a hand picked legendary axedwarf or marksdwarf should be cause enough.

That would be awesome.
