So, my PC just did an ASTOUNDINGLY accurate impression of what a 40-dwarf unprepared fort does when it breaches HFS, and had to reformat. Luckily my important stuff (DF Mod in development!) is backed up in sextuplicate. That means six times, pervert. So i'm going to add the 'finishing touches' to the mod and release it. And when I do, I will start a new fort.
An interesting new fort.
A VERY interesting new fort.
But, what will make it interesting? Well, besides my mod, I want some community input. A game, as it were, with multiple facets.
In other words, I want you to be my wierd little pet for a while.
So, here's how it's gonna go down:
I will need 2 people to play the 'Beuracracy'. Think 'GOP and DNC'. You'll both make demands for whatever reason you want, and duke it out with each other to come to an agreement. And whatever the terms of that bizzarre mishmash of madness is, my fort will adhere to AS THE LAW.
I'll need an unknown number of players to play the Gods. Your role will be a bit more backseat than the others, as you'll still make mandates and such of your followers, and possibly invoke divine vengeance (via DFHack) if spited enough. But mostly you're just there to wierd out the mogun's silly little lives with things like, "I, the Mistress of Night, Ruler of Dreams and Nightmares, dictate that my followers must sleep within the caverns!"
I will then need 7 people or more to play starting mogun. You get to pick which, as i'll post their info sheets. Where you come in is thus: You have the ability to up and veto an order or assignment from me, the gods, or the mogun government system: With potential consequences for the last two.
I will run the game continuously at a fairly low framerate, and update every season change or major event.
You'll be able to give your orders at the start of every new year.
What kind of entity file do you have? Are you a communist bent on dwarven engineering feats? Or are you an agent of Chaos who just wants to watch the world !!FUN!!? Perhaps you are Armok incarnate, and come death or map-covering sea of blood, you'll kill every last thing that enters the map? Or perhaps you're an Elf in Dwarves' Clothes, seeking to subvert the mogun civilization to your bizzarre, canibalistic, tree-hugging ways? Either way, this should prove interesting.
It'll be first-come, first-serve for all positions.
Before I begin, i'll need the two beurocrats. Between you both, you'll determine what sort of starting location to embark on, and why.
Also, this is kinda how I envision mogun. A cross between these:
They have a unique civilization from the other races, in every aspect. Different body layout and big shreddy claws, smaller than dwarves (about 15% smaller), more docile in temperament, a bit dense*, and using their own unique equipment and gear. More info will be available when the mod is finished and released. This may also end up being an open-beta test for it.
