It's not a good idea to separate "people who live in a player made Dwarf Fortress" from regular dwarven society. That's not how Mythgen is going to work and the idea that the player is a special case that needs special rules because players operate outside of the carefully simulated societies that the game produces is something which should be minimised as much as possible. Migrants to your fortress will just give up their innate abilities and throw away their magic artifacts? Makes no sense.

You should probably expand, explaining how these suggestions can be used with Mythgen's current development plans? Otherwise it kind of comes across as "abandon everything you have planned and make this game instead"? Which I'm sure isn't your intention.

You not understand. Dwarf Fortress is a game with first magus type Necromancer. This is necromancer-like ideas. Artifacts is not mages.

Wouldn't IT make more Sense for the druid to Dreams of seeing the beautiful Nature?

Fix your grammar.

^Not exactly a constructive or sensitive comment, given that I suspect English isn't DerMeister's first language. They can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

That's the second time UrsitMcVampire has asked me to fix my grammar. I apologise for not taking more time to construct perfectly written sentences for his pleasure.

(I mean both times I was talking with Dermeister, but I assume his comment was aimed at me and he's not such an asshole that he's offended by "foreign people" fouling his precious forum).

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Oh, then I apologize for my misunderstanding.

I fixed it for you.
