I want to be able to setup a fort near a major road or river or near another settlement and have random traffic just passing through. Such thoroughfares and nearby settlements would have much more traffic then if I built a fort in the tundra or desert. A raft with a merchant or traveller coming down the river or a caravan not destined for my fort trekking down a road or a wanderer or minstrel or whatever. They do not necessarily need to want to interact with my fort. That way I can waylay said travellers and loot their corpses or be able to block said rivers and roads and demand tolls or just let them pass through.

I thinks it's nice and it'll reinforce the idea that you are not alone in the world, they would tend to follow roads and constructed tiles?
They would historic figures or just a name-less migrant or merchant?

that's the problem with this game. Most suggestions are planned in the next decade or two.

Toady once said that the DF  may be on the 1.00 version only after 20 year from this release.

Version 1 - we wait for more than 9 months, final bugfix release 12 months after .25 is realistic estimate.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html - Caravan Arc Releases: there are 9 planned, current ("Better town maps involving workshops/markets/shops based on world gen economic activities") is the smallest one.

12 months * 9 releases => final may be expected around 2020. I assume here that "feature creep" will continue[1].

EDIT: [1] Without feature creep it may be finished in 2012-2013 but it is unlikely.

I'm pretty sure feature creep is the entire basis of Toady One's code...

Back on-topic: This idea sounds seriously awesome. One day, one day...

look at the bright side..in 2020 our computers might actually be able to run this game., haha. (especially when the Circus comes to town)

[Number7]

nope, in 20 years we still wont be able to handle a 16x16 embark

[Kogut]

But my computer will be able to handle 3x3!

[Uristocrat]

Yeah, but only because our quantum holographic processors aren't good at making the relativistic calculations necessary for monitoring the speed of legendary dwarves making rock crafts.

Which reminds me, I should go back to researching solid densities and other material properties.

Anyone want a piece of Saguaro wood to test?  I still have a box full of it....
