Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The mental image is hilarious.  A horrifying monster appears on the horizon!  It charges at the fortress, the defenseless dwarves hiding inside!  But just as it reaches the front door, the moon slips beneath the horizon, and the monster transforms into a naked human child.  Sheepishly, he scurries off.

Yeah that's what made me laugh. It's nice to be surprised though because I picked a safe location specifically to check out the new features and in no way expected much to happen for many years, but literally the moment the summer ends a blood thirsty beast shows up on the horizon and heads right for my fortress, I panic the same way I panicked when I first found the circus but then the game goes  SYKE! It's just so satisfying to have all these emotions over a game that's essentially just a bunch of letters.

I like the idea of were animals, but they are kind of a joke in fortress mode, I think they should be able to stay in their wereform longer, give me a reason to fear them already.

Or make them something like a vampire, on the full moon they turn into a monster and cause trouble, then turn back, if some one saw them transform then they can make an accusation like happens with vampires already.

The way they are now, they make great bioweapons.

Catch one that you find favorable, and use it to infect some volunteers. (Fishery workers work nicely.)

Keep the volunteers in a cordoned off quarantine zone. Every full moon, they morph.

When sieges arrive, just close the doors and wait for the full moon. Release the volunteers.

They go apeshit on the siegers, and then you just wait for the full moon to end.  Then you re-burrow their happy naked bums back in quarantine.

When they morph back, any injuries they suffered magically vanish! Chopped off limbs grow right back! It's magic!

Oh wait.

Evil biome + This = Regenerating Were-Dwarf horde.

Makes me wonder. Is there anything stopping a Were-dragon?

Gravity, once the full moon is over.  :D

Dragons don't fly. A were-parakeet, on the other hand...

How about a were-giant sponge?

God, im so happy that they dont have any limbs to cut off...

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

It depends on the speed - if you get a fast werebeast it's bad news because one bite is enough to turn your citizens, of course they're much easier to quarantine than vampires since you don't have to guess who is infected.

I'd like to see what happens when a sponge man gets bitten by a wereRoc, then falls from the sky when it wears off. D'you think it'd die?

I'm not sure that werecreatures need to stay in form longer than they do.  Sure they usually don't do much and amble off without causing anything more than anxiety.   But ONE bite you didn't notice can wreck your fort, or at least force you to take serious quarantine steps before the next moon.
