Commanding dwarven armies
« on: August 12, 2017, 06:20:22 pm »

I have a question about the next release. If you become the mountainhome do you get to command your civilization's armies? I doubt it but I just wanted to check.

The trick is to only make predictions semi-seriously.  That way, I don't have a 98% failure rate. I have a 98% sarcasm rate.

Armies aren't being introduced yet. So, no.
Armies will involve recruiting from the surrounding populations and such. Very complicated compared with just sending out a few dwarves on a raid. But it's a good first step.

Shonai, is it wrong that i see you as the right hand of god (god beeing Toady in this analogy)? because it seems to m you always have all the answers before everyone else...

Perhaps Shonai is Toady's alt.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

It's something to do with living in an advantageous timezone.  Probably.

Well, at any rate I have seen you answer a lot of questions by now, so just that you know, it is appreciated!
