Goddamnit, enough with the friggin' ponies you guys! :P

Now, on topic: I love the idea of various levels of law enforcement, as in your typical middle-of-nowhere, hardscrabble little fort might just have a sheriff, but larger cities and such could have detectives, inquisitors, Judges (like 2000AD) and Interrogators, all working together...

But, something I'm pretty sure got modded in a while: Dwarven lawyers.
Just imagine, Urist McSlickdefence gets the case defending Kogan McFangs from charges of serial vampirism... Finally a use for lying skill! :D

If there's any cause worth dying for, it's memes.

Anyhoo, I think the justice system is fine as it is. Capital Punishment is interesting.

An Inquisitor dwarf,with a workshop where he can torture a suspect?
It seems we may need a new skill  :D

Wouldn't a cupcaker just be called a baker? ???
Butcher would be more accurate  :P

OH GOD WHAT THE HELL.

Necro, see what you do to people? You traumatized the poor kitten-murderer!

Many people praise the great animation and artstyle.

But for the most part, it is 4chan and fanon that started this giant stampede.



Don't think you won't go unpunished.

I would say that youde end up getting the millatery to station and watch places more at the very least.

Ide suggest: Inquisitors, underlings, preists of armok etc. Would prefer it to be a player made organisation defined by selecting certain bits for them to want to do, using the same thing as your adventurer groupes etc who are left over when you want to do sommert else.

As for punishment: ide suggest giving the option for a dwarf to elect a freind as their representative in a dwarf court instead of full blown laywers, since this is ment to be 14th century etc.

I suppose you could get proffesional laywers when toady implaments guild structures.

No offence but your grammar gave me a headache lol
Plus, law in Dwarf Fortress would get really complicated and annoying very quickly, I think it's better allowing everyone to have total control over their fortress... Bar nobles.

And this isn't meant to be 14th century of whatever, you could embark on any part of the timeline, but being able to assign military escorts and bodyguards would be a neat feature, i.e. escorting dwarven caravans or attacking elven one's on sight.

Dwarves riding badgers? NEVAR!!!!

Also, aren't the military enough for an order of knights? I'd pick the assaults of soaps vs the knightly order of pristine nobles any day XD
