Realistic fortress mode embarking.
« on: July 20, 2008, 06:46:28 pm »
What I'm thinking of is merging Dwarf and adventure mode together.
You could,rather than: Start now!
 Or Choose carefully,
Search yourself.

In search yourself mode, What you do is be a person looking for people to settle the new land.
So, you go around a city and ask for people to come with you, perhaps hold a meeting in the town hall for all people who would like to come with you, then choose your seven?
You then go to a local food store and buy what you can from them, heading to each of the stores yourself to gather the goods. This could add some excellent depth to the beginning of fortress mode, and maybe even converge adventure and dwarf mode easily.

Discuss!

It's Dwarves not dwarfs.

A dwarven version of Oregon trail?  I seem to remember it being discussed before, but it's still a good idea.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

It's been suggested before, with varying degrees of approval.
