Plagues, Tribute, Loneliness
« on: April 25, 2011, 03:55:38 pm »

1. I suggest that, as a matter of !!FUN!!, plagues be implemented into the game. I'm sure this has been suggested, but with the caravan arc it might become more !!FUN!!, since plagues tend to spread along trade routes.
2. When the Army Arc appears, I suggest that it be possible to make an elven retreat/goblin fortress/human town pay annual tribute to you; there's lots of real-world examples.

3. I think social relationships could be improved.
First, there's the "feel for social relationships" trait. The idea is, the higher this trait is, the more friends a dwarf will want. There would also be a "romanticism" trait, which gives the dwarf a happier thought from having a spouse/lover and a sad thought from not having one or losing one, OR- and I think we should implement this- breaking up. Lovers can break up, friends can have rows, everybody has a sad thought. Or dwarves can make up grudges, making a happy thought.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Not necessarily and I would prefer it if he didn't post three threads being a sentence long in each one. These ideas have been suggested, and I'm not seeing anything new here. Please use the search function and only post a new thread if you have something new to add to the suggestion.

I do like the idea that some dwarves crave companionship and seek it out even if the player keeps everyone busy or isolated to prevent the attachments that lead to tantrum spirals. And then there would be dwarves who would form innumerable grudges if forced into other dwarves' company.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
