Wow, Cacame has an... object of worship? I guess I always assumed it would be himself.

Look up the deity, Ole, I think it was? If King Cacame is worshiping this Ole, he/she must have badass of an astronomical scale.

Or maybe they just hung out, you know, Elf hunting buddies or something?

Maybe he's the god of Matadors?

Ole is obviously the god of gods. Of gods. Has to be, when cacame killed a dragon with no armor, and worships him. This guy must be like twelve thousand carpippopotimeagles and an extra seasoning of elephants.

Did you notice that everyone who touches Cacame gets eaten? Maybe he should just give everyone he doesn't like a hug. ;)

A world full of awesome elves :o I never thought I'd see the day.  This may well be the justification for elvenkind's existence.

Cacame has saved the elves from being instantly killed in my current fort. I will put up with their cloth and kosher wood just to show respect. The fact that the only cloth and kosher wood will come from their bodies is not the point... (My civ starts at war with them).

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

A couple of things to note that I meant to comment on earlier but forgot to.

Re: the strength of MegaBeasts. Vanilla megabeasts are pansies. All of the MegaBeasts in my mods are at minimum size 40 or larger. They aren't invulnerable by any means, but they generally prove to be a moderate challenge to anyone who doesn't wield an artifact weapon and manage to kill them in one shot. In my last fort, I had a Titan take out 6 champions before the combined might of the roughly 30 champions attacking it (to be fair, about 2/3rds were only Wrestlers) managed to take it down.

Re: Cacame's potential relationship with the new elf producing babies. I had never intended it to, though if it had, it would have been interesting. But several years in and none have arrived, so I don't think they'll be treated like pets for this purpose.

Also, the god he worships is Íle. I'm surprised no one mentioned him before, since I posted Cacame's character screen back on page 4 and it includes that fact. Íle is a standard "Force" style god, so it just represents rivers and woods. I assume Cacame worships it ironically, the way people worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

It's actually Ile that worships Cacame.  The game just can't represent that correctly.

No, it says 'Faithful'. That would be Dubious or one of the other descriptors you see on each and every dwarf. :)

So obviously Ile... is more than slightly powerful. However, if we take it seriously (crediting Cacame for being double extra awesomesauce, but not a magma swimming drawbridge lifter) it's probable that Ile is Cacame's awesome justification for vengeance or something. Or maybe Ile gives him the Force.

In other words, Ile is probably the only being that Cacame respects.

Ok, the elf Royal Guard definitely isn't charging out to participate in fights. She actually follows the military around somewhat. I had a bunch of champions stationed near the entrance for a siege that hadn't gotten to the entrance yet. The elf Royal Guard stood next to the soldiers as if she'd been stationed there.

I suspect she must be following them with the idea of sparring or something (at one point, she ran back to the barracks).

Would it be okay if I put this stuff (or some trace of it) in my Morrowind mod; for both Holy Mittens and artists involved (pictured: Vester). If only so that this can be so.

We should get a complete family tree for Cacame, up to his generation from his ancestors at the time of worldgen.

If we're gonna do a DF family tree, we need to do it right- as a PHP that lets you click on the names to see each person's history/kill screenshot.

Then we can make some good fiction from that.

I'm all for you putting it into your Morrowind mod.

I could get pictures of his family tree easily enough.

I've been trying to regenerate the world and have it run several decades past where it stopped the first time to see what would have happened to Cacame naturally. But some point after I genned the world, I must have altered something in the raws, because regenning with all the same seeds doesn't work.

Oh wow, hahaha, you put something I drew in Morrowind. :D

You should probably do something to the pictures to make them fit in a bit better, though, since Morrowind's colours are predominantly washy and brownish.

He's not being born at all?

This supports my theory that DF is, in fact, an infinite multiverse! ;D
