You as dwarf, mode mix
« on: December 13, 2010, 09:27:41 am »

The way I imagine a perfect world, I would be one of the dwarves (or a deity that can inhabit dwarves, or semething). Thus I could start in adventure mode, run around the world, become a hero, recruit six other dwarves, and then start my own fort. I could then build up my fort for a few dozen years, have babies, and then retire from the fort and run off on another adventure.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

Wasn't this suggested and planned for long term already?

Yep.
We have devlogs for a reason. It's not like Toady (armok be with him) hides the details from us. We can see everything he's going to put in in green, purple and orange.

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.

lol, sorry then. Dev logs aren't exactly as easy to search as google, and I'm not sure if I understand half of it right now anyways.

No problem the main thing we could discus here is how something like this could be implented in a good interface and whatever you would go to fortress mode or remain in adventure mode and give orders to your dwarfs. The fact that something is already planned does not mean that it can't be disscused.
