Food Allergies. Dwarves not only get a negative thought from eating a food they dislike, they could also be stricken with a random pre-selected syndrome from eating foods they are allergic to.

Effects range from mild allergic reactions (temporary sleepiness, vomiting) to severe (prolonged paralysis, skin/organ rot, bleeding) to fatal (immediate suffocation).

Known allergies could be listed in thoughts & preferences, but new ones could develop during gameplay

You should propose terrible ideas. This one is good.

I'll try worsening the idea.

Some dwarves are masochistic, and are addicted to food that they are allergic to. 'Addicted', as in, 'will slow down and become unhappy over time without said food'.

[LordBaal]

There's no way on knowing the allergy of a dwarf generally until is to late.

Yo, legit, this is such a cool idea!

I swear, these ideas sound terrible in my head! I think I'm underestimating the DF Community...

Also, I love the idea of Urist McGuilty-Pleasure gorging on food she knows she's allergic to.

As for mystery allergies...extend it beyond food. woe be to the militia commander who discovers his goblin sweat allergy at exactly the wrong time.

Now y'all are just describing life with lactose intolerance.
"She has enjoyed a fine meal lately.  She has suffered from gastric upset lately.  She has enjoyed a fine meal lately.  She has suffered from gastric upset lately.  She has enjoyed a fine meal lately.  She has suffered from gastric upset lately."
Also, dwarves suffering gastric upset from an allergy should periodically produce clouds of miasma.

Dwarves are randomly allergic to things within dwarves, or worse, to water.

[King Zultan]

Dwarves could be allergic to alcohol.

"She prefers to consume alpaca milk cheese but is conflicted by this because she is severely allergic to alpaca milk."

"She prefers to consume alpaca milk cheese but is conflicted by this because she is severely allergic to alpaca milk."

I have thought of this five times since first reading it, and have laughed every single time.
It really is like that, though.

Dwarves will pause out of nowhere sometimes to think about their dad. I mean it's your dad, you can't just NOT think about him.

[Criperum]

There should be only one alergic reaction. Explosion! When the magic arrive the explosion has to cause random magic effect like syndrome clouds.

[Kyubee]

Dwarves can now believe in creatures that dont exist. These creatures are similar to your existing three fanciful creatures. Their belief can have many results.

1. Random bouts of panic from dwarves who think they see them

2. Dwarves may form cults to these creatures

3. Dwarves will often see these creatures as hallucinations, as in Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. To those who havent played CDDA, if you take certain drugs, or have the Schizophrenic trait, you'll get random hallucinations of enemies, which will bother you, but cant hurt you, and die in one hit.

4. If more than half your fortress is hallucinating, these hallucinations will be visible to you.

5. if 100% of your fortress is hallucinating, and youre in certain sphere-alligned biomes (when those become real), they become real.

Agreed, it would add challenges to Adventure Mode as well, learning the hard way what foods you can and can't eat. Also eating a lot of one food could cause you to become allergic to that food too.

[xZippy]

Most of these ideas here are extremely plausible.

[Naturegirl1999]

Every instance there is a 10% chance of the player's cursor centering on a random spot in the world, no matter how far it is from your fortress or adventurer depending on what mode. You cannot center on your adventurer or your fortress, you have to scroll through the world to find them and hope they didn't die.
