That does seem like an effective way to build though. Great work.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy.

Soon adventurers will be able to make walls and position furniture and the like to create shelters. I see that as the dawn of the "integration" ark.

Does anyone know if more fine control over the artistry of your dwarves is planned? I would like to be able to make a bedroom for the champion of my fort with engravings of his heroic destruction of goblins instead of cheese. And then for the game to recognize this; for him to get happy thoughts, or perhaps unhappy if he is very humble. This would open up so many options. I would like to be able to make gold statues of my adventurer, or of the Deities worshipped in my fort made out of the materials holy to that particular entity, or be able to tell the gem setters to use this particularily valuable gem to encrust a noble's coffin, rather than the -maple barrel- that just happened to be closer to the workshop. If you could control craftdwarves I see that as the main use, though I'd prefer to be able to do it without "possessing" the dwarf in question.

I think something like this is best used only for military dwarves.

Clearly, the best use for this is to walk your nobles into the magma cave in Royal-Pulpmaster 2000.
