[Rat Of Wisdom]

As discussed in the #bay12games IRC:

Parades.

By the military, specifically. Have them march up and down in all their goblin-slaughtering finery and give anyone who sees them a happy thought from "seeing the splendor of their fort's military" or something. Magnitude of the happy thought could be influenced by the quality of their weaponry/armor, the combat skill of the parading dorfs, and/or each soldier's kill count.

This sort of leads into general military ceremonies; perhaps dorfs might throw a party when someone becomes a legendary champion?

(Not that this would be particularly useful, but it'd be pretty awesome and that makes it worth suggesting.)

I think Toady mentioned, prior to the release of the current version, that this is something he wanted to do. I think he gave up on it, temporarily anyway, to expedite the release of the present version.

Are there any ideas left Toady hasn't already come up with?

When dwarves have a child, Bow Chicka wow wow immediately begins to play.

There, that's one idea. 

[andfhe]

Yes, that is certainly original...

[silhouette]

Would have to depend on the dwarves personality.
Some may be pacifist and others aggressive.

[Dwarf]

Pacifist Dwarves?

Never.

[ungulateman]

Not pacifist, but more like "If we kill goblins with traps instead of a military, less dwarves end up dead in ratio with the amount of goblins/elves/whatever."

[NW_Kohaku]

Does that make me a dwarven pacifist if I rely upon traps because I'm too lazy to bother training soldiers, and prefer to just make a labyrinth of every trap I can think of and cram into my entranceways?  Because I've never really liked the military aspects of these city-building games, and much prefer the engineering aspects.

Can we have the parades be ordered by nobles, so that we eventually get Baron Urist McLieutentant Schiesskopf (Catch-22) continually ordering military parades until they all collapse/dehydrate/go berserk? Perhaps different members of the nobility could attempt to out-parade each other, with similar results?
