Just a Thing I Thought About
« on: February 07, 2019, 03:38:42 pm »

I was thinking of two things.

a) What if the game has things like dimensional rifts that can randomly happen in the world. These rifts could either spit out creatures not found naturally in the world (eldritch abominations) or can lead to eldritch locations (or just teleport to another side of the world)?

b) What if there were "corrupted" humans who try to spread the evil terrain (but cannot leave it)?

c) Once in every X years a meteorite falls, which can bring precious minerals and/or alien organisms?

d) Monster trees. You try to chop what seems to be a normal tree, but when a dorf comes close, it reveals itself as a tree monster and attacks?

That's four things... :)

Dimensions coming with Mythgen additions (perhaps not in first run but eventually).

Corruption is in the Mythgen notes too. Although that's perhaps more personal corruption. "Good" and "Evil" biomes are likely to be replaced by more sphere-based landforms and other weirdness according to the Myth.

Natural disasters like meteorites have been mentioned for Mythgen. These would effect the landscape.

Treants were in a very early version of the game. Chances are they'll be back. Probably once multi-tile creatures have been introduced. :)

Thanks for the reply. I thought of something else too.

A) A dwarven profession (Inventor) where a dwarf tries to create unique tools/beings that would belong to a fortress. If the dwarf goes mad, he would create destructive things like a mad scientist.

B) Fortress above clouds or underwater (needs to have special requirements first)

C) Dwarfs making cults in fortresses where temples aren't present for long periods of time (usually brings demons out)

D) Centaurs, Satyrs, Fairies, Witches and other fantastical beasts that aren't present (dragons?)

There will be some sort of magic science about reveling secrects of magic. It definitely could go wrong in many ways.

Flying fortress on flying mountains (like in avatar) will be in myth and magic. Not sure about artificial levitation.

Cults are planned along with guilds

There will be ramdomly generated creatures and some of them could be like those you mentioned
