What is neat is that wherever the angels are born they adopt the beliefs, names and values of that civilization.
That's true for all creatures. There are at least some humans in Malladang with goblin names, beliefs and even actions (i.e. murdering each other as part of plot) from way before year 700. In Dwarf Fortress, it seems nurture certainly trumps nature.
I haven't given any to the goblins yet, but angel invasions would be wild lol
That sounds terrifying. On the other hand, they had at some point around 6000 trolls, so it wouldn't be that much of a change.
One thing I am curious about is if towns repopulate with racoons in a hypothetical fork. I've had this theory that if the majority of a species is not of that civilization's original species, its settlements will spawn members of that now majority species, but I found no concrete proof. There was certainly a bat-men
dynasty of rulers in Mudungudon that took over a dwarven civilization. I suspect this is what happened with the goblins of Ribiromimi. On the other hand, Adilatír is getting overrun by humans, but I don't see it spawning humans outside abstract populations in hillocks. Curious.
Racoon Apocalypse article is up.
I don't want to steal dik's thunder, but his idea of forking the Museum after the Racoon Apocalypse brought out ideas I had for some time. I have a whole category of
Orid Xem Elsewhere worlds on the wiki. My idea was that instead of a thread to a single other timeline, we'd have one where we'd explore the different timelines of what-could-have-been. Especially with the ability to restart the world and knowing it'll keep the same characters until roughly year 50. We could even import the sites from the original Museum (I've verified that it works at the very least in Fortress Mode) so we'd have the updated sites from the 12th century or however long the main Museum lasts, to wherever we play the alternate save. The big restriction is that it has to be the old 3x3 dwarf sites that were created before the save starts (so they'd have the same site ID and would be in the same place).
