I am aware of such things. The question is how do Powers get away with it or anyone who does such actions storywise rather then  mechanically.

if I saw a dragon and it told me it was "the god of fire and strength," I think I would tend to believe it

Actually Megabeasts make good gods on their own without any additions being required interestingly enough. Similar to the many creatures born of gods in mythology.

you will note that creatures pretend to be a "manifestation" of a god, so not looking like them is fine

I am also aware. I was asking if the adventure mode cheats and tells you if a Power isn't. It would be interesting if they would take on the name of the god during adventure mode and have a description that befits that of a diety. Rather then cheating psychic sight.

Now I'm sure guilds will come back eventually or so, but are there ever plans for maybe not just between guilds, but "groups" of people rather to have strife. I just watched gangs of new york again, so that is flavoring my ideas but I'm sure it would make sense for there to be fights over groups of people for whichever reason or even civil war type of deals. Or how about give people some motives to take out those nobles who are just dicks. Look at the gem cutter whos life trade and skill is useless once it's all mandated. I'd imagine he'd have a few words with that noble with his gem cutting tools. But then you have a whole gem cutting industry. Couple people maybe 5-10. Where on the other hand that noble is just doing everything for the wood crafting industry. You have this group of gem cutters quite angry at the noble, and anger with jealousy of the lumberjacks. So now you have this brawl or even lynching(Which I'm sure would be done by hammering for dwarves) occurring, and then you have a lot of FUN.

So really, will we be seeing more advanced social interactions in the future, such as ones that could potentially seperate people into groups and cause strife or even civil war.

This is discussed in depth in DF Talk 5. The short answer is "yes".

The dungeons denizens like bandits, beasts and animal peoples will make incursions into the surface to attack or steal? These attacks will be restricted only for the city they live under?

Oh god, sewer badgers

[Dsarker]

Because sewer alligators weren't bad enough...

[Areyar]

in local news: a bunch of badgers dug up a soccer field looking for grubs.
Government has a mandate forbidding badger hunting.


Do critters (other than vermin) dig up plants/fields in DF?

I've never seen it, but I'm not that observant. :p
Some critters have stolen edible food items since forever, but only items not unharvested stuff afaik.

I was watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail (for the 400th time) today, and something made me think of DF.

I now know what I must do. If it ever becomes possible to have a necromancer as a dwarf in your fort, I shall name him Tim.

[Dsarker]

He was a sorceror, not a necromancer.

[Untelligent]

Wasn't he an enchanter?

[Kay12]

Wasn't he an enchanter?

Yeah, Tim the Enchanter. Classic. Here's the clip for the culturally ignorant to see...

[de5me7]

scottish accent "That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!"


ironically such a demon wouldnt be out of place in DF, but we might say fish instead of rodent

[Gamerlord]

I don't really care if he's a necromancer, I'd just set his custom profession as enchanter.

[Quatch]

Ah, but the bones pointed to would probably not be strewn over the battlefield any more if he were a necromancer.

[Caldfir]

[...] It would be interesting if they would take on the name of the god during adventure mode and have a description that befits that of a diety. Rather then cheating psychic sight.

Ah, yeah, I'm fairly certain that you see their real name in adventure mode.  I seem to recall meeting the demon master of a human civ and seeing his name, so that's probably something that needs to be fixed at some point.
