Will necromancer be the only route to immortality?

Hermits will not die of old age regardless of route choice. NO_AGING is a necessary tag to keep undead and other opposed-to-life creatures from being hostile to the hermit.

zach: If you learn conjuration, souls for pets is a thing.

not convinced on jock vs nerd thing, of course I can do different castes, but it would be way too much work to link industries and buildings to them.

augmenting: sure, you can train skills, attributes and spells. I thought about potions that have lasting effect as well.

blackflyme: I thought NO_AGING also stops people from dying of max age?

Samarkand: I mentioned earlier, there will be other ways. Alchemy could be one (philosophers stone), religion, or other magic. I am still undecided if I shouldnt give him no maxage in the first place.

I was thinking maybe a Tom Bombadil vibe.  Not really any clearly defined species but just some immortal guy in the woods who develops in one of many possible ways.

Oh, and how about this: no attribute cap (or an absurdly high one).  Start out normal, but if you survive long enough and train hard enough that one guy can become strong enough to fight off an army of war elephants unarmed.

I like the idea, that eventually you become an unkillable god! That seems like a good "You Win!" goal.

So will we be able to play the hermit out of all the other races?
then again with a lil dfhacking one could just do a roaming hermit playstyle where you play a wandering hermit then switch over to fort mode if they found a good camp site.

I had thought so, but I was confused by the NO_AGING tag. I'm not really raw savvy. I just want to make sure that every combination of choices has a way to become immortal, even if some are easier than others (if you make tech development a choice based system, or add other such choices).

Not sure if I should write too much buildings and reactions for this... I dont think that many people will play the ultra-hardcoded single-unit fortress mode. ;)

I added female sheeps, cows and chickens, for those that want them. But not their male partner, so its really only for wool, milk and eggs. That makes 6 pets, dog, cat, hawk, sheep, cow, chicken.

I finished the three magic altars.

Conjurers can summon succubus pets from raw materials and souls. Nahashes, Orthi, Devilkin and more.

Necromancers do not age and are friendly to undeads, great for evil regions. They raise any dead around them, and can build black monoliths, which also raise dead. They can turn souls into soul wisps, which act like suicide units that paralyze invaders.

Mages automatically learn a free ranged attack, the magic missile. They can learn one spell of each element. Wind Gust blinds the enemy, Icicle adds a second ranged attack, Petrify takes out one invader instantly and Incinerate kills the unit, but might destroy its equipment and/or start fires.

I added the gnomish excavation site, your hermit can "sense" the rock around him, so you know where to dig. Its a 1 tile workshop with a free reaction, and if there is something near it, it will say "there is gem X south of here" and "there is a gold vein north east of here". I thought a lone hermit miner would have to do way too much work to find stuff otherwise.

I added the imaginary friend and the interactions, but it works a bit differently now: If your hermit dies, bob tries to resurrect him, but instead the hermits spirit disappears and Bob becomes real. They have a last talk, and Bob has to bury the body of the hermit, and becomes the new hermit.

That way you still have your second chance, but get punished. The hermit has all those high natural skills and might have learned magic... Bob cant do that.

I am uploading a test version :)

Why would a city in Usbekistan dance samba?

<<<TEST VERSION>>> I will leave this online for 2 days, and give you guys time for feedback, and if nothing horribly is broken, I will do a release with it as is, on the 12th. :)

(In case you wonder where that extra 25mb come from, turn on the sound/background music. I forgot about that... there is a custom song in there)

Because despite my username I have no connection to the city, and I only know partner dances, so no Ferghana, Bukhara, or Khorezm. Sorry to disappoint!

Yup! ;) Name is a connection to a book I enjoyed as a child, avatar is because I was lazy and so I just took a random image of the city. I'm sure I'll replace it sooner or later.

On topic, have a hermit fort started. Dog already picked a fight with some wildlife and died. :P

EDIT: Is there any archaeology with the hermit? Found three chests. Wouldn't want as large of rewards as in dwarf; I'd be happy for a trinket or two.

EDIT2: After 5 shovels of exploratory mining and no metals, I did a dfhack reveal. I have tools, fossils, and chests galore, but no metal till you get down to the iron levels... Not a hermit's ideal location.

EDIT3: Do we have a means of getting an anvil? Need one for a stable pick.

EDIT4: Can make an anvil, through smelting. However, slag is bad! No way to get rid of it with hermit, but you still produce it...

EDIT5: Some items are surviving migrant magmafication. So far only quivers.
