Or rather than a historical figure, they would just be one of the teeming hordes that now inhabit the world. Who becomes an historic figure by migrating to your fort.

Historical figure vampires:

"So lets see who came with that migrant wave... Adil Alathlenod... Stukos Confinedcudgels... Ber Inodmeb... Urist McDwarf... Risen Bouldermirrors... Wait, wait, wait... Risen Bouldermirrors? That name is on the list! He is a vampire! Magma chamber, here we come!"

Or

"Hmm, immigrants. Let's see their ages.
57
75
46
23
5
768
...
Magma, please."

The !FUN! part is that there can be young vampires too. ~

Except that the way the game works with historical figures it wouldn't work at all. As 31.25, becoming a night creature is historical-figure-worthy. Always.

Maybe the vampire migrants would be RNG-created victims of the said vampire, or some of his own created vampires bit the migrants and so on?

Regardless, oh god let us play the new version soon. I got so much crap I want to do with the new tags and shit.

 I will be happy if dwarven vampires suck blood through their beards. This is all I ask for.

Seriously, I'd prefer Toady to stop making new features for a while and concentrate on bug fixes. Several annoying ones have been there for over a year now.

To avoid the derailing...

Maybe, but Toady said nothing about it. So it is more likely that we will have non-historical migrants and that every vampire would be a historical figure.

Having your whole fortress turn into vampires before you notice would be awesome. All migrant waves just get eaten by a massive horde of Transylvanian dwarfs wearing pig tail capes.

I am now imagining in my head some weird mixture of Scottish and Transulvanian accents.  My brain hurts.

*Migrants have arrived*
"Velcome*cough* Welcome to Beachtempests laddie.  All migrants are to report to the juicing room.. er did I say juicing room?  Ha.ha.ha... funny, what would that be I vonder, a room to squeeze the fresh delicious blood out of migrants?  No, that would be silly... and uh, undwarven....laddie...  Please remove your clothing before entering the... showers... wouldn't wanna get bits of your clothes in the bloo- er.. wet... wouldn't wanna get them wet."

I was imagining the vampire dorfs to be something more like this:

"VUN Forgotten Beast, hahaha! TWO Forgotten Beasts, hahaha! Three For- Oh fuck that, I'm out of here"

interactions! That's the best part.

Oh, and the town rewrite is wonderful. I like the idea of not having to dope around the wilderness looking for my quest target.

What interactions? I never know where to look for info on upcoming releases...
