In looking at the new release I can't help but feel as though there are some very minor changes that might enhance the "flavor" of the game. For instance

Cave dragons having a breath weapon, specifically one more suited to their corrupted existence. My idea would be a copy of the normal dragon fire in appearance ( ie massive burst of fire) except the fire would be fading from purple to black and rather then causing burns it would cause instant necrosis to any tissue it touched. It seems fitting.

That the Adamantine weapon found in the demonic fortress should be an artifact engraved with all sorts of horrific images rather then just a masterwork.

Perhaps that being undead gives any creature a necrotic bite?

Basically just little quick additions that make the world seem more tasty in it's odd, horrific awesomeness. Any ideas?

Some of these you can do yourself.

Obviously, But I'm saying that they would be good to have in vanilla. They add to the flavor of the world without being over powering or different from the established paradigms.

This one's been mentioned before, but this seems like a good place for it.

So, Forgotten Beasts are a bit drab, cause they're, well, "Forgotten". Giving them history in legends wouldn't work so great. But, that doesn't mean they couldn't *have* histories, that you could get glimpses of. Maybe they show up already scarred, or have in their gutsack the head of some long-dead dwarven king they ate.

Oh. Totems need to be buildable like statues.

And I don't know how the HFS is placed right now, but maybe put it only where HFS escaped into the world in the past? Or something?

Oh, and the Underground- incredibly, unutterably cool, but could be cooler. Leave a few remnants of old stuff there- the odd statue or engraving, a skeletal corpse still clutching a sword, maybe half a fort or have one or two connecting veins already mined out?

The goodtimes villa shouldn't have just any animals in it. As much as I like cows and camels, they are not a particularly menacing of a menagerie.

I don't really like it being a regional feature either. It should be connected to the history, not just randomly generated. It's really dull as is and raises the question how the bug things and whatnot would build something and why.

I always assumed it was something "Mountains of Madness" like, where they built it aeons ago back when the world was young and you just happen to stupidly stumble upon it again. I think it should have engravings which cause insanity

Eventually (to complete my Call of Cthulhu mod) I will want a hell of a lot of things to cause near instant insanity (I'd do it by giving them a massive negative thought for having witnessed abominations lately)

Need to release a world with massive antarctic city and undersea ruins as well as a degenerating coastal area complete with "Colour out of space" style "blasted Heath"

 I agree that maybe it should be an artifact instead of just masterwork, but I disagree on the engravings. If anything, it should be an artifact with no decoration whatsoever - That pretty much never happens in Fortress mode, and it would highlight its alien nature. Much like the smoothed slade, which cannot be smoothed in-game.
