Bring back Demonic Fortresses.
« on: September 08, 2014, 04:56:25 am »

Some people might not have been lucky enough to find one, but a demonic fortress was basically a sealed can of evil feature underground which let you "safely" breach hell, by 100% controlling when you went in. I happened to find them a few times, and enjoyed the challenge of actually fighting my way through hordes of undead to fight my way to the breach into hell. I'm assuming they were replaced in a way by vaults, but still, they were a great feature. It was an interesting way to get to hell, and still fit in with the adamantine canes, as the demons couldn't leave it, but you could break through from the outside.

i suppose it is an old spoiler now but still you could put spoilers in the title  ::)
anyway I agree the new stuff is all well and good, but why lose the old too?

Apparently it was removed by mistake, but there aren't any real plans to add it back in.

Curious underground structures have been removed?

I believe Toady said they were commented out, but he couldn't remember why.

Welp, rot in peace, demonic fortresses, we will never forget you.
I do like the vault concept, but I'd really like them to be more rare than how they are now. I saw that there are no longer goblin civ leaders, but instead only demon ruled civs, and that's kinda weird, having goblins only as a slave race with no kings of their own.

My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about

It's great in modded playable goblin civs when some flying, skinless ape shows up to rule. But vaults don't really affect fortress mode much, sadly. Unless you embark on them, which is a new game mode in on itself almost.
