More Varied *spoiler* Scenarios
« on: April 28, 2015, 08:07:15 am »

It seems like in DF 2014 the demons raise a slade spire and stay there if they can, one per goblin civ.  In DF 2012 a few extra spawned and they could become the leaders of human civs and wander around and such, if I'm correct.  It'd be cool if that could happen again, like a few "free" demons would spawn/escape and go about doing what they will.

I talked about it somewhere here, I always wished demons would roam the land and maybe set up a cult. Multiracial cult seems fun (especially, if dwarves could bring in steel, and then give steel bolts to bird people). And single demon might make a decent mid-tier hazard for fortress.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

Toady talked about expanding the scenarios that brought demons into the overworld, so I'm guessing it's planned.

I'm frankly surprised more demons aren't summoned into Necromancer towers.  Seems like it would be an obvious portal of entry.

I always felt it was anticlimactic that you could just walk up to the demon and small talk about the weather. Furthermore I always felt that their physical form was more of a curse (An immortal, ethereal and magical being having been bound to a world where as much as a stray, mortal and mundane adventurer may bring it to its knees and slay it).
I would imagine it would create some interesting scenarios if the demons were present in an ethereal manner, or whether the cults would surround statues or slabs supposedly containing the demon. I reckon it would make more sense, as the demons currently require to be bound to the world by some deity in order to be physically present. (I doubt the deity would be pleased with the demon impersonating them).

How cool would it be to infiltrate some cult and steal their demon-inhabited icon.
