So what is a temple good for?
« on: June 02, 2009, 02:15:10 pm »

Have the priests something interesting to tell, or can you interact with them?

Or are they just for player made sacrifices?

They're useless, just like real life ones!

Anyway, almost everything in adventurer mode is a placeholder right now, the only use for temples now is to house priests and provide a clean water source.

And for you to dedicate yourself to Gods who think suicide is an excellent idea. Hell, you can even talk to them after becoming a worshipper

if you search thoroughly enough, you can find fire temples, which you can embark on for a free lava pool.

This is news to me. First of all, thank you. Second, where do I find these? I take it they come with goblin dark fortresses?

Chris: Apply magma so it smokes and craters some more. Really, this should be simple.

Right, well, savannas tend to have aquifers, but if the area doesn't have those, they tend to be empty, but if there is magma in the area, there tends to be lava... i think.

Armok needs to get temples. Filled with pools of lava mixed with unboiling blood. With statues of carp and elephants. The walls shall be made of elf bones, and the floors paved with bars of iron that were once worn by legendary goblin warriors. All of this, of course, covered in the blood of those who would defy the Blood God.

Nist Nazush nom.
Fear the Blood-God.

...Perhaps I'm getting a tad insane.

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Not insane. Dwarfy. There's a difference, albeit a very, very small one.

The only insane part of this is the lack of a bloodstone-encrusted obsidian ledge or something to drop sacrifices (read: nobles) from.
