My god...
I want toady to allow races that are grave robbers, so they will steal corpses and raise ghosts. COOLEST THING EVER! Somebody head over to suggestions, I have been drinking, and I don't do things after I have been drinking.

You sir, sound suspiciously elven.  -.-

I am watching you.

But yes. graverobbers would be awesome

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then youkill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.
Dwarf Fortress: So horrifying the players would rather talk about nice things, like Warhammer 40k.

Yes... Yes! YES!!!

We need graverobbers, but for that we also need (some) graves to have worthwhile things to rob.

Dead Mayor? He demands 500 dwarfbucks worth of goods buried with him.

Dead Baron? He demands 1500 dwarfbucks worth of goods and they have to be either gems or made of metal.

Dead King? 50,000 dwarfbucks and only precious gems, steel, silver, gold, platinum and aluminum are good enough.

Anything less and the noble in question will not be able to find peace and will rise as an incredibly malovelent ghost. Another effect is that players will need to weigh their options a bit more before deciding on an unfortunate accident.

Everyone knows dwarves pass knowledge through a mass collective, fueled by alcohol. Hence their inability to sustain themselves over long periods with water; they lose the dwarven empathic connection, and become singular and... sane. Which in turn drives them crazy!

Why thank you. Good to know someone appreciates my humour. It sure seemed like all those melting dwarves sure didn't.

Socks.  Lots and lots of socks.  It's the greatest Dwarven vice of all, outstripping alcohol by several orders of magnitude: the desire to own and haul as many feet-warming tubes of cloth as possible.
It's the tent of Hilarious Flying Shenanigans!  Everyone's favorite circus.

We didnt listen to the bastards when they were alive, your average DF player looks for any excuse to douse these gits in molten rock.

What makes you think we're going to honor his funerary requests?

I wish I had something cool to say about this.  Because it's really cool.

It might lower the turn over rate of nobles if we had to attend to there demands even after death.


Right now mine seem rather high, as the rate I kill off nobles can even out population influxes from migrants.

Yes, now imagine that you did not know this and sent an assortment of 50 fish cleaners, soap makers and threshers too test the magma forges fuel source was hot enough.

I always enjoy getting those immigrants that are like "I can make soap and potash and lye and cheese and-" then I cut them off with a "Hope you like bricks!" as I turn them into a mason.

And that's when you get

And you think its pefectly fine that in a fantasy simulation/worldbuilding game that takes such great pride in accuracy and fine detail to keep track of individual teeth that there is no penalty for killing your king... several times?

What makes you think we're going to honor his funerary requests?

The fact that if you don't, his ghost will start throwing parties, killing your productivity haunting everyone, perhaps going as far as killing other dwarves.

"Whats that?  Entombed forever in the magma sea?  Sure."

I know you were joking, but that sounds like something a Dwarf King might actually want... Could be one of his possible demands... "Erect a slab in my name and cast my corpse and three artifacts made of stone into the magma sea! Fail me and more shall join me in the afterlife!"

Don't some nobles already require tombs of a certain quality to be built for them? Although I suppose you can dismantle them right before the lever o' happiness is pulled... Still, it's about the same idea.
