Idea: Take a snapshot of a Dorf's wounds screen, kills, equipment, skills, etc. and bundle it together so that it can be viewed later. Maybe also add some information to the body so that it tells more about how the Dorf died; ex. There are slashes in the lower body. The left eye is missing. etc etc.

Don't know if this exists, haven't been able to find it if it does...

I like it, afaik the closest thing we have is the battle report.

I've seen requests for having details of a dwarf's death in things like the actions report before, but if what you're suggesting is that the game actually export a "Coroner's Report"/"Autopsy" .txt file for every dead dwarf (hopefully to its own folder), then this sounds like an interesting new spin.

"Cause of Death: Natural Causes - one quite naturally dies of being cut in half by an all-natural organic giant crab."

adding to this further - would it not be great to have an engraver do an image on their coffin/tomb area showing something they did during their life? i think toady has mentined being able to have more control over what images your dwarves produce in the nearish future.

would be great if you could have a random little image on each stone coffin of its occupant doing something, that could be put on there post death. even if its just urist eating cheese, or getting elected as mayor.

I think the main reason I would want this is for storytelling.

Have their death engraved on their stone coffins instead!

"On it is a picture of Urist McNoble and dwarves. Urist is melting. The dwarves are laughing."

[Ullallulloo]

I'd like something like this. I hate it when I see "Urist McMiner has bled to death." I have no idea how they died. Then it takes me few minutes to realize that when I channeled out those 10 z-levels, some other dwarf got the bottom half first, and some poor bloke fell 5 z-levels onto a millstone. Or maybe just for teh lulz when looking through legends.

It would be cool if you got this information by conducting an autopsy at the hospital.

[MoonLightBird]

I like all of these great ideas!

Win, except for the part where exploded dwarfs would req alot of workhours to collect all the pieces.
