Can't wait till DF has mad scientists

Aren't the "mad scientists" the players?

I know, I was just joking around.
To be honest, that's actually a cool suggestion. It'd be neat if it mixed with interaction knowledge and was the "negative" result of people having the goal of "making a masterpiece".
So you could have necro-madscientists making stuff like Frankstein's Monsters or the Warcraft Abominations that would roam the world like megabeasts and destroy stuff. Right now you can only mod those in as semi/megabeasts and they just appear out of nowhere, kinda breaks the immersion.

I'm personally not sure how magic can be kept viable and not be broken. I mean, what's the point of training a functional army and a proper hospital if everyone can just wave a magic wand and heal by the power of some "magic consumable"?

Dwarf Fortress is also a game that doesn't balance itself intentionally.
