Designate: Arena
« on: March 15, 2012, 04:14:49 pm »
Would be interesting if an area could be designated as an arena, where spectators could gather and watch dwarfs combat various captured creatures.  Perhaps dwarfs in such zones would get happy thoughts from witnessing brutality in a controlled environment.

This could also be a great expansion of the dwarven justice system.  "Urist McLawBreaker is sentenced to fight ten cheetahmen!"

Well, you already can designate meeting zones and burrow dwarves into a pit with 10 cheetah men if you want to.

Since above is true, and your suggestion can be achieved with a bit of micromanagement with in-game mechanics, I would rather be in favor of putting toady's devtime into inevitable bug fixes. Cool idea but we sorta already can do that.

Under the current system this would result in bad thoughts and mass panic.

Yes. This. So much of this. I want to see my elite military fight some of the best and brightest goblins (That survived the siege) for the amusment of the upper class...

And the lower class, but they don't matter as much.

And everyone knows, when the Dwarves come out of the walls, it's all over.

This is a very popular suggestion:
And by extension...  I'm popular?

Thank you for saying so.
