What Arc Are You Most Excited For?
« on: January 26, 2013, 10:22:13 am »

Hello, Klitri here.

Now the simple question (That might have been done..) is "What arc are you guys excited for?"
If you don't know what's planned, I found this really good place to look at the different planned features.

The "Country ark"(Lets you control things outside of the fort) and the "Adventurer skills ark" (lets you build houses and such in adventure mode), both seem really cool, as it lets you, well, do stuff other than run around being retarded until something happens.

I can't decide between army arc, diplomacy arc (neither of those would be really cool without the other one) and randomizing arc.

Yeah, that's a very exciting arc! World domination is close!

Those all sound like awesome ones. It's true, you need both the army arc & diplomacy arc for it to be awesome ^_^.

This.
Adventurer mode feels KIINDA bland, for Dwarf Fortress standards at least, since I enjoy it so much more than Skyrim or some other game. (although it will take it a long time to beat Heroes of Might and Magic III, that game was golden)

The game is becoming more and more interlocked with the time in a way that for a long time Toady is always working on more than a arc at the same time. For the next release we will have bits of the County arc, Caravan Arc, Army Arc, Town Arc...

As far as short term arcs go, definitely the County arc. The more stuff to manage, the better.

Long term, I'm curious +/ terrified to see what ends up in the

I'm not sure really. It's like asking me which neuron I favour in a brain; they are all one part of the greatest whole.

Definitely the 'Planes' arc for me.  Too much blandness everywhere...  :P

NEMESIS ARC would make world histories so much more interesting.
