Created a new adventurer. Was looking for an interesting starting civ. Found an elvish one which had conquered sites from all of the other three major races. Chose them.
The first site the game suggested as a starting location was a camp. At first I thought it was a bandit camp, but since the civ was obviously successful, I figured there was something more interesting going on, so I went with it.

The camp turned out to be quite a surprise:

It's a whole army!
Unfortunately we're not heading to war. My commander told me to enjoy in these times of peace. Whatever. At least the other lieutenants have awesome names: Inefa Killblood, Slonan Lightningwing and Udam Dissolveworship. There's also our army's administrator Mokathi Lightningstyle. Our commander is named Yawo Drivelyrics

I guess I'll try assassinating him, and being elected the new commander.

I had a dream like that once. Was being chased down a forest road by literally a screenful of goblin warriors.

Speaking of which, it's actually surprising you can have dreams about dwarf fortress.

Was the dream in ASCII?

Asking the important questions.

I know I have idle thoughts of "what would my coworkers think if they wound up trapped inside my computer while I'm in Dwarf Fortress . . ." Not probably but I've read a good bit of novels using simulation theory, so of course I'd go there.

Ninja'd.

By Cacame... That's a bigger army than I've ever seen the gobbos assemble, all sitting in one beautifully flammable tree...

Mind tossing up some stuff from their legends mode section?

tbh if a computer screen was somehow chasing me i'd be pretty scared

Can you actually become commander?

I know I'm digging, but I would like to know the answer.

Also - do those commanders and administrators have any special duties in the world now? Or are those just professions without any special dialogue bits and daily routines.

[Killermartian]

You can become the commander, but its pretty pointless. The only thing you can do is recruit people as lieutenants.
