Trophies to commemorate battles
« on: July 10, 2008, 03:17:34 pm »

Especially since the army arc is the current focus, I'd like to see the ability for building monuments or trophies to commemorate victory in battle.  Rather than add too many extraneous elements, this could just be a modification on a placed statue--some order could be given from the "q" menu for engravers to make the statue a trophy.  The statue would take on the form of images or events of the battle when viewed with "v," and statistics could be recorded on its base.  Naturally only a spawning of "invaders" or megabeasts would allow this (not just isolated critter fights), and it would go hand in hand with my desire for unique names to be generated for major battles.  A cute little epigram and an account of the combatants slain on both sides would be awesome.

edit:  Bronze Collosi are almost perfect for this.  :-D

I think the various 'treat statues like engravings' threads cover this in significant detail.  It's still a great idea though

I knew I should have waded through some more of the "statue" search results.  :-P  Sorry if this is a redundant thread!  I'm fine with letting it die or removing it if that's the case.
