MAGIC AND WIZARDS
« on: January 15, 2016, 07:49:54 am »
The dwarf fortress adventure mode is already awesome but imagine being able to use magic like fireballs,lightning strikes and more!IT would make the game all the more interesting  and fun.Having a one haned sword in your right arm and a magic lightninng strike power on the left one or ditch the sword and have lightning in both hands.It would also be awesome to have staffs shooting out fireballs and stuff and magic lazors!!!!!!!!   :o       8)


What do you think???  ;D

I know Toady has magic in future plans, and that there are partial conversion mods that feature magic. Masterwork DF is the most popular.

Three common signs of a shitposting troll on the DF upper boards; the spotter's definitive guide:

1)Failure to obey general grammatical and spelling rules

2)"Escaped Lunatic" markings, with as little evidence of posting as possible.

3)Suggesting that they add magic.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

9. Adding magic would be almost inherently unbalance the game, probably adding some uber strong magical race and monsters along the way.

My eight year old cousin actually plays Dwarf Fortress. He tells me how he drowens elves and shit whenever I see him.

11. Toady doesn't care about balance! just like the op doesn't care about forum etiquette.

12. Toady will balance it, but only after he believes the players have had enough !FUN! being on the receiving end of it.
