With the new poetry, is there a specific artifact that peots can make? Such as a great peom that inspires bravery?

Since that borders on magic, and would require some changes for moods, that's pretty unlikely.

Also, Cruxador's twelve-stringed long-necked dog lute from earlier in the thread almost makes an appearance.

Yea, but there's mods that do something similar. It basically gives the target a different tag.  HOWEVER, all that has to happen is that dwarves that go by have a simple personality change, or even a different, powerful thought. Such as 'has been elated to see a poem by urist"

[Andeerz]

You mean a "peom" written by urist.  Who is a "peot".  I'm sorry... I can't get over that amusing mispelling.  It made me giggle.  Peot.

Toady, is Needlegrass intended to be Achnatherum, Aristida, Stipa, or another genus?

[Putnam]

Doesn't it say the species in the raws?

[Untelligent]

Sometimes it does, but Needlegrass doesn't have it.

[Cruxador]

Maybe it's none of those and it's just a literal name like feather trees.

Peyote? You'll have to wait for the herbalism expansion for hallucinogens...

[Scoops Novel]

Do you look at real "reclaims" for inspiration? Rebuilding after the great fire of london, rediscovering cities in Egpyts sands or Brazil's jungles, and so on.

I got question about internal workings in following scenario:
  I'm about to embark and give my group of dwarves name of "Ninurcerol, The Escorted Lenses". I play the game and fortress comes to end, either retired or abandoned. Then I embark into another fortress with same civilization as previous one and give this group of dwarves same name; "Ninurcerol, The Escorted Lenses".
  Now what does DF think about this? Will it consider this group to be new group with new ID who just happens to have same name or does it any checks whether another group with same name exists? I kinda want to have world-wide organization going around building things... I know nothing stops me from doing it anyway, but it would be nice to know my groups have actual connection beyond just having same name.

As a programmer, I can say that I'm 99.99% sure it's just a new group who happens to have same name.

As a programmer I agree with your assesment. DF does already lots of great things, so I'm hoping it would do such simple check.

[Putnam]

It's not even a check, each group has a unique ID. The name is not used for identification at all.

Wow! The new dance forms are fantastic!

Also: I tried out the kulet heptatonic scale on a microtonal synth (http://offtonic.com/synth/) and those quarter tones sounded way better than I thought.

From the new dance forms:

A solo celebration dance originating in The Slick Rampart...

This is making me wonder...
Will dwarven dancing be restricted to taverns? Or could extremely happy dwarves (such as those just completing an artifact or realizing a life goal) spontaneously break out into dance to celebrate?

...causing Dwarves who observe him to also break out into a dance. Resulting in a fortress-wide dance cascade! What an awesome time for a forgotten beast to strike.
