Gravel Beans
« on: December 08, 2012, 09:59:32 pm »

My apologies if something like this has been suggested a billion times, the search function didn't seem to be working for me here, but I had an idea hit me tonight.

Gravel beans- a subterranean crop. Brew them at a still, and you get Dwarven Coffee. This miracle substance could give all who consume it a tiny, tiny stat boost, such as extra speed for a predetermined amount of time. Nothing too riduculous and it could be balanced out by only growing in a single season or not being initially available at embark, or a surface crop.
Perhaps if processed a different way, it could result in Dwarven Chocolate- another thing for the nobles to demand! Joy unbounded!

Sounds more like something for a mod than a real game suggestion, to me.
