Mittens, your Baroness Consort really does seem like she's insane. Reserved and outgoing, assertive and shy, self-disciplined and impulsive. I suspect she secretly lusts after Cacame and reviles him for being an elf, too. 

[Fault]

this is slowly getting into soap opera territory.

I agree.
MORE BLOOD! MORE MAGMA! MORE ELF BURNING!

[Fault]

i belive you are unfamiliar with the term soap opera..

besides, dwarves have no use for anything soap-related.

[Rowanas]

I think paperjack understands soap operas, but

A: Wants more blood, more magma and more elf killing to stop it from going soapy.
B: Wants soap operas to have more blood, more magma and more elf killing.

[Fault]

Now there's a soap opera I'd watch.

[Shrike]

"But wait, I have... AMNESIA!"

(lever pulled, magma and elves pour onto father of Urist McAllMyChildren's children)

[Wolfius]

"But wait, I have... AMNESIA!"

"Really? That's a shame. ...By the way, you still owe my ☼25'000."

 

[Sensei]

That reminds me, civs should be able to name their currency.

[Vester]

"By the way, you still owe me 25,000 Cacames".

[Rowanas]

I think all currency should be named by the player. Then you could name different years of coinage after different awesome things.

Urist McEvaluator: Ah yes, a solid bronze cacame. Forged in 226 in the reign of Cacame McElfThatShouldn'tBeAwesomButIs. It was a good year, I recall...

On that note, we need to be able to make coins out of anything. I want to have iron coinage, and bronze and stuff like that. Copper, silver, gold only is fail. Make them out of any material, and you can set the actual monetary value through a screen like the z menu or whatever. Adding to eternal suggestions.

You can already, its in the  entity_default.txt

EDIT: found it

[CURRENCY_BY_YEAR]
   [CURRENCY:COPPER:1]
   [CURRENCY:SILVER:5]
   [CURRENCY:GOLD:15]

Just replace metals and values.

I give you this:



Don't worry, I did ask for permission.




...And this thread is awesome.

[kilakan]

On that note coins make awesome throwing ammo.

You can make coins out of anything already, no modding needed. They just won't be used for money(which is, imo, currently an advantage if you like coins but want to both use the economy and avoid epic coin scattering).

My last fort minted one stack of electrum coins a year and sealed them in a section of the vaults. An older fort had a noble who liked coins, so I minted them in dwarfy iron when the mandates came up and stashed them in the vault. You could also mint commemorative coins for significant events.

Setting their value, however, strikes me as absurd - not unless we can have asset-backed currencies. As-is they get their value from their composition(and quality/etc modifiers) - or should, anyway. What you're asking for would seem for like a fiat-based currency system, which I'd say is pretty inappropriate for the setting(well, atleast for external trade).

I mean, how realistic would it be to buy out a large caravan with a single stack of tin coins, just because your dwarves claim they're worth, say, ☼150'000?
