I could actually see some worlds having wizards/spellcasters as a distinct "race" post-Mythgen (similar to Tolkien's Maiar, which are what Gandalf and Saruman both were). Wouldn't want it as a universal rule, but every so often it might be interesting.

Any time a dwarf has to make a decision that could affect others, an angel and a demon will spawn on top of their shoulders.

More seriously, ethics are an interesting subject, and individuals might have to balance their personal goals, beliefs and facets with the ethical values of their civilization.

For exemple, someone with high values for POWER might betray his own country.

Or to make the suggestion just that much more terrible, what the dwarf actually does is summon a random angel and demon to a tile near them (and to be clear, we're talking the gigantic, procedurally-generated death forces that guard vaults and lord over goblins respectively) which will immediately go on a rampage slaughtering and incinerating everything in their path. And yes, this happens every time a dwarf has to make a moral decision.

Get rid of the random number generator.

Every time that a random result is required, the game spawns a new instance of DF for each possible result.

[Mobbstar]

A figurine or toy made as a result of possessed mood will teleport around the fortress until it is alone with a religious leader, at which point it locks the door and drives the dwarf insane or kills it.

This is pretty much exactly what I meant (except they are summoned onto the shoulders, not other tiles).

On the plus side, your dwarves can use the angels and demons to block attacks, like they do with babies.

Remove [MUNDANE] from humans because it's unexplained why we are the only sapient beings on our planet.

[rico6822]

Instead of using custom game engine Dwarf Fortress should had been made in Scratch because of how Toady is skilled at making video games.

Dwarf Fortress for Nintendo Switch!

[rico6822]

Since cats are predatory creatures they should hunt [INTELLIGENT] creatures that are smaller than them like dwarf babies.

[rico6822]

Dwarf Fortress wiki should remove all of it's unethical features as it is against Toady's nature.

[rico6822]

The game should support an official preset Kaizo advanced world generation template just like "large island" and so on.
