Its official- DF is now has grave robbing goodness inside. I am excite

[quoutepyramid] something something [/quoutepyramid]

And then once you've pulped them so they're not animated, you can wield them as a weapon and they get named from all the kills...

Dwarf fortress has been struck down by a buffer overflow in the weapons name-string.

I could be wrong but the elves using buddy-pets in new right? I mean Buddy-pets and Animal-man were already in Threetoes stories but i didnt get to see it yet ingame. I hope toady can get the tomb builders to set some traps of various kinds. I am not sure if Guard-units would be the right.

Grave-robbing happens everywhere as well as to any time and many tombs werent defended that well - so actually toady sacking the mummy and selling it in London for a unwrapping-party is actually pretty accurate.

I thought war animals already turned up in worldgen battles, but I could be wrong. I'm more excited to see the townie elf / wild elf distinction. Multiple species under one entity or area? First step to multicultural fortresses.

Also there is something inherently humorous about the idea of wandering into a major tomb, then wandering out again with a corpse sticking out of your backpack. I wonder if we'll see a re-vamp of adventurer traps?

[Mel_Vixen]

Yeah but are the elven beasties war animals or just animals? I was under the impression that only human leaders get War-Buddy-pets.

Well, that step has been made years ago. I think "townie elves" just means "elves that live in human town because they or their ancestors were captured as war prisoners and then integrated into human society".

And I've seen tons of trained war animals as part of elven attacks in fortress mode so the ones in world gen were probably war trained too. They just don't make that distinction in legend mode descriptions.

After reading the devlog update about raiding tombs i began to wonder whether tombs can be raided during worldgen, by Bandits for example. I think it would be pretty neat to find a empty tomb from time to time, it`s riches stored in the camp of some Bandits. I also think that finding and returning part of the treasures of a dead king might be a interesting quest.

You didn't even try to disguise your suggestion as a question!

Please color only questions to Toady.  Your suggestion is pretty good, but Toady will answer only questions about current development. We have a board for suggestions.

I guess the question-suggestion can still be seen as a question here, for instance "will tomb-raiding happen during worldgen". It'd be fun if it was one of the possible reasons for war, too.

Expanding on this... in an odd sort of way I guess, will dead kings, under certain circumstances, rise up to avenge their tombs being looted? Say, if the king happened to simultaneously manage to be a major priest of the local God of Death, or otherwise be rendered capable of rising up to avenge himself (faithful necromancer subjects, certain burial methods, etc)?
The concept of tomb robbing made that pop into my head, I suppose.

I got carried away, but it wasn`t intended to be a suggestion. I merely wanted to ask wheter tombs could be raided during world gen.

[bluephoenix]

I feel sorry for toady, soooo many questions to answer lol.

[Cthulhu]

There are functioning traps now.

I believe it's time to resurrect Land of Traps and Attractions.

[Cerol Lenslens]

Ooh. 'Cursed with bad luck'?

This sounds promising!

[Dante]

Bad luck curse, interesting. Wonder if there's some new raws tag to interfere with the RNG, or the bad luck is just a penalty applied to various attributes (e.g. observational skill).

[Cthulhu]

Or maybe there's a chance with each roll to greatly increase or greatly decrease the results.

Or maybe ridiculous stuff happens like landslides and chasms open up around you.
