Context Sensitive Engravings
« on: July 14, 2009, 10:18:11 am »

I know this is a rather 'low' priority suggestion but it'd be awesome if the location of a historical engraving had some influence over WHAT was engraved on it. Essentially the room type (and ideally assignment) of the tile being engraved should influence (but not 100%) what event gets engraved there. Examples would be engravings of a tomb tending towards events about that dwarf, engravings in a barracks tending towards battles and war, and so on. Mostly it would have no affect on gameplay but it'd make a lot more sense and I think it'd be more interesting for going through adventure mode.

Ideally the tomb idea would extend to proximity to coffins as well. I'd love it if I could engrave a headstone for each of my dead dwarves. Actually for this a new object might be a better solution. Allow for a headstone to be placed from a block (or rock) and assigned to a dwarf like a coffin. When the dwarf dies the headstone gets engraved with the death of the dwarf.

This has been suggested in the past.

Rather frequently.
