Marriage Alerts
« on: October 16, 2015, 02:09:38 pm »
Just an alert to tell me when two Dwarfs get married so I can reassign them to a new apartment or at least figure out if I want to take somebody out of the military or what not.  Simple.

I'm pretty sure the game does announce marriages when they take place, although afterwards, there isn't a stamp on the units list or anything to denote married dwarfs.  Is that more like what you're thinking of?

I have never seen a marriage alert.  Where would I find them?

In the "data" folder, go to "init" and open the "announcements" file. Find the tag [MARRIAGE:A_D:D_D] - it's towards the end. After the D_D, put P - so [MARRIAGE:A_D:D_D:P]. This will pause the game when a marriage takes place, giving you time to rearrange living space, etc.

Thank you very much!   :D

Wouldn't it be more interesting to have weddings?  There are parties already.  Wedding gifts could be bestowed from one dwarf to another, either from richer to poorer dwarves, or a dwarf who has something the other dwarf would like more.

Christenings are another interesting possibility, for when a new dwarf is born.

It would also provide a reason to rationalize Noble demands -- such-and-such a noble wants 10 gold harps to commemorate his daughter's wedding.

This, of course, generalizes into the idea of holidays.  Which deserves its own post, I think.  =)

You mean other dwarves could [d]ump all their X=silk socks=X in the newlyweds edroom ?

I would like marraiges to have to be signed off on by the leader or a new 'pastor' profession.
They can have their illicit union all they want, but getting too friendly is what causes tantrum spirals. :P
