I can see a dragon traveling around collecting artifacts too.

Pfft. Dragons.
Pesky fat flying lizards with a chronic heartburn.

[Yuli Vlasi]

There shall be Koboldicus, the kobold slayer of kobolds.

There shall be Koboldslayerofkobolds-icus, the koboldslayer slayer of screw-your-stuff.

Oh and a guy who pretends to be a dragon.

[MDFification]

I just wonder what happens when you force an embark on a retired fort using DFhack.

Think of the possibilites. One person builds a traditional fort, then retires. Someone comes along and builds a fort purely in the caverns, then retires. Someone comes along and builds a surface fort, then retires. You've got three forts in one embark, all of them independent of one another and only one playable at a time. It'd be like embarking on someone else's site right now.
Except with caravan interaction, raiding parties and so on, it'll probably be thoroughly bugged. Maybe someone should experiment with it first outside the succession game.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

That's what the "messing-around with stuff" secondary world (that was suggested and accepted relatively early on) is for.

I think my fort will be probably of elves, gonna capture 'em all and keep them there for their safety/science.

Ha! You stupid /Heroes/.

Don't you know? There's no money in Troll King Slaying! Money you'll ever bring back alive, at least.

Nah, The money is in /connectivity/. Tans-port-a-tation. I'm talk'in Railroads!

I'mma set up small 1x16 embarks, that interlock, and build minecart tracks to all the great destinations when they pop up! That's where I, Lord ShapphireRidge the I, will make my fortune!

Now if only I can find a way to make sure those pesky goblin banditos don't steal my tracks ...

This is an AWESOME idea!  The occasional train station mini-forts could offer snacks and sell tickets to get on the train (coin activated pressure plates?)

[Mesa]

By my standards, DF2013 is officially an archaic term, what with 2014 being here now. (though not in America yet, so I don't really know anymore)

[DVNO]

I was thinking more of something like a custom workshop called 'Minecart Ticketbooth' that gave a Minecart for 25 COIN of any material.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

It's been agreed that there won't be any modding. Although that seems relatively minor. Maybe you could set it up so that when you pay 25 coins, you can get into one of the tracks (I'd suggest a multi-tier, walled off doublesided railroad, with rollers that activate after you step on a pressure plate) and all the other access is locked from the outside, only allowing you to get outside using a system that resets and closes off the track when you're gone. I have no idea how to make sure there's a minecart at every place, though.

[Eric Blank]

You'd have to manufacture the minecarts at stations during play and store them. Leave the track open to use freely and just make the minecart delivered by the mechanism that accepts coins. From a hatch above, perhaps.

That's a truly insane idea, in my opinion. Especially since armies in adventure mode wont be able to path across these great walls of fortresses covering the landscape: Toady explained that they will path around player forts, but when you've got a string of forts hundreds of kilometers long their road trips are going to become quite monumental. And if you misallign the tracks, someone's going to end up with multiple compound fractures. Or a sword where their arm used to be.

[Xantalos]

Anybody wanna bet that Toady releases DF2013 at 11:59:59 Seattle Time?

Sure, and I also bet that he is a timelord.
