That'd be pretty amusing, actually. Dwarf jokes are already something that'd be pretty amusing to think of, but myself I'd especially like to see bad goblin comedians, and goblin jokes in general. "Why did the chicken cross the road? Who cares, halfway across the road, it fell over and choked and died. Haha."

"Why did the fluffy wambler cross the road? It was inevitable. Haha."

"...and then it was decreed that the punchline of every joke told by every dwarf will be 'sock.'"

"...And why the elf cross the road? To hug a tree"

"Now kids, I will tell you about the different professions:
A carpenter makes fine beds to rest your heads;
An armor smith makes fine armor to protect our soldiers in battle;
A brewer makes fine beer for the neverending feasts;
and a cheesemaker makes fine swiss when stood between us and the enemy's archers."

This conversation seems to be veering in the direction of the Suggestions forum.

It always does but that is the nature of things.

You could almost say it was inevitable.

[Neonivek]

Ok double question

Is the lack of a Magic Sphere a conscious choice?

At this point I can't imagine it not being done unintentionally.

[Putnam]

Oy, that took me a while (about a minute) to figure out.

Spheres aren't title-caps; there's a fortresses sphere, not a Fortresses Sphere.

To avoid ambiguity, I usually use all-caps for the name of the sphere; the SKY sphere, for example.

[Random_Dragon]

I would've said religious sphere for the sake of full disambiguation. :V

Please forgive me for my insolence as I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I wasn't able to find the answer.
Will adventure mode ever allow for persistent constructions and modification of terrain, and other fortress mode things like crafting furniture, using workshops, etc.? Kind of like the advfort mod, but officially supported and therefore without the limitations.

[Max™]

Technically advfort isn't a mod, it just inserts the relevant jobs with the references to the tools/workshops/materials and the game pulls it together once it's given a location and a timer. I think the bigger problem is how to handle the difference between sites with persistent changes and those without/spaces in between.

Actually: Are you still hoping to be able to get the between-site/roadside taverns and/or inns working for a 42.xx bump, a la the big 40.14 world activation or 40.19 stress/emotion changes update? I recall there being difficulties getting them in while the rest was ready to push out but can't find if there was more stated about what your plans there were.

Yes, at some point. It's in the plans somewhere and I'm pretty sure it was discussed on DF talk.

The best that I could find:

It's one of those things where ultimately I'm not really satisfied with using the dwarf mode system in adventure mode for making a cabin or whatever, because you build it tile by tile and it's kind of weird ... if you imagine a Lincoln Log cabin, building that wall or whatever. But it isn't the end of the world to do it that way, it's really fine to start that way and maybe keep it that way forever.

If I make a goblin adventurer and retire it at a goblin site, can it show up in a siege?

Adventurer goblins aren't from goblin civs. You almost certainly don't have the option to retire at a dark pits, just as you can't retire dwarf, human or elf adventurers there.

Unless you're using mods to make goblin civs playable, in which case you probably want the mods forum.

--better question would be, can human or elf civ adventurers turn up in sieges? That would be Fun. Populate the nearby forest retreat with elephant man demi-gods then start a fortress mass-producing wood crafts for elf merchants.

edit-- Hmm. Seems like my current adventurer actually can retire in a goblin dark pits. Wonder what happens to them if you do that...
