I assume the heavenly forces would really give the Tower of Babel treatment to your people. Make the whole construction connected(and closer than 25 zlevels to Heaven) collapse. All dwarves start speaking other races' languages, their names change to the equivalent of the new language and all relations to dwarves speaking other languages are completely REMOVED and any new relationships with dwarves of another language will most likely turn into grudges which will eventually make your people attack each other (This is Dwarf Fortress, this cannot be without violence.). However, this should be a delayed event so you can maximize fun by doing this:

Spoiler: HFS currently in the game mentioned (click to show/hide)

Open up hell, too. I'd totally like to see holy forces and hell's abominations fight against each other. Whatever side gains the upper hand in the mortal plane (Important: They will not try to charge into the other plane. Propably, the demons would seek out your dwarves as usual and the angels should seek out the demons in the "world" layer but not leaving any witnesses, thus exterminating every member of a civilization they stumble upon.) gets the privilege of exterminating whatever survived the mayhem.

Thus, I support the idea of adding "heaven" into the game.

You realize that, this being DF, if you put in angels people will devise the best method of breeding them and using their bones for crafts?

And food.

Mmmmm.... Angel hair pasta....

I think its a good idea, angles would be a nice alternative HFS. Maybe if there needed to be a benefit, angles would be decked in various precious metal armor/weapons suitable for melting.

Or a sepcial kind of forbidden fruit, which only grows up there, it is extremely valuable and when made into somekind of booze/cider/ale/whatever, it will make Dwarves extatic and dosn't need to drink for some time. And they never get bored of the taste either.
Ofcourse, the angels celestial beings (same as Forgotten Beasts, but less.. beastly/demonic/whatever ) will be at same strength as the regular HFS, and they will attack ANY intruders on sight.

This is of course my own thought on the subject.

[Beeskee]

Heaven should have HFS too!!

And upon eating the forbidden fruit, a chorus of abominations with flaming swords descend from heaven and lay waste your fortress. Unless you can fight back.

[Rowanas]

I like it. The mortal pane is caught between abominations that'll escape if you let them, and celestial beings that think you're getting too big for your boots and will happily smite you if you give them a good reason.

[fanatic]

Love it!

And it should have all your fallen Nobles there. waiting to explain you just how they expect to be treated.

EDIT: also a megaproject challenge : In ARMOK's NAME flood heaven with MAGMA!

[truckman1]

you guys realize that angels (according to the old texts and scriptures etc.) already ARE hideous Abominations who's very forms are enough to shatter a mans' sanity right? That's why the first thing they say to people they talk to is "FEAR NOT!"


seriously, google "Throne Angel." THAT THING IS A BUNCH OF FUCKING WHEELS COVERED IN EYEBALLS. Or theres those angels with 6 wings and a bunch of heads.



Basically, they should be like current Forgotten Beasts, only not made of animals (hell, being made of angels might not be too bar off).

 If they have valuable components like bones and skin or meat, all the better for when we pump magma into heaven.

[dragnar]

You have a better chance of finding him in hell, and I am not kidding.

We are Armok.

This is actually a decent point. I believe it is at least semi-canon that the player/the dwarven hive-mind is actually Armok's influence. The angels would probably try to attack you directly... mess with the interface? make dwarves stop obeying orders?

Surely Dwarf Heaven is underground?

But you can't rain magma on elves from underground.

[MrFake]

In the year 2XX, the dwarfs finally breached the heavens with an obsidian tower.  There they found the most unimaginable, unspeakable horror devised by Armok.  I speak it now, so that the hubris of the dwarfs is never repeated.  What they found populating the heavens were...

Elves

[Jordrake]

I reckon angels should be peaceful beings. Big, scary, UltraSuperAdamantine equipment-carrying peaceful beings. Unless you:
a) Steal one of their precious apples
b) Kill and innocent (After you open up a window to heaven)
c) Attack one of their own
If you do any of these things, heavenly war happens. I hope you installed a magma pipe into the clouds.
Also, it'd be cool if your dead adventurers were chillin' in heaven. Or hell.

That should depend on their actions ingame.

[Uthric]

im sorry you give me hell and heaven and i will give you a clear glass tower connecting the 2 for that fun of my dwarfs to watch the MASSIVE battle

[Safe-Keeper]

Angelic attacks and calamities when you get high enough, fine.
Actually reaching some sort of paradise/heaven above the clouds? That's a bit on the ambitious side, methinks.
