That's a lovely idea! I had so far no success in tinkering with my worlds and adventure mode cause the old worlds of mine all crashed when I tried to go into adventurer mode. No big surprise, sad nevertheless. Reading your idea gives me definitely a good feeling about the future of DF!

​@Ic0nGaming how old are your worlds that you tried to use? I tried adventure mode on a world that I've been using since one of the first patches after the Steam release and it has worked well so far.

Yeah that's probably what I'll use this for for now. After I go on a killing spree as an elephant man Armok demands slaughter

Don't let him fool you called shots have always been up to the DM in D&D it's a house rule thing though some editions did have rule options for it. My favorite was one in dragon magazine for 2nd edition where you got a cleaving attack anytime you hit for more than a quarter their health (most hits at low level)

Honestly I think they just want us to push that system and see what breaks

Hey there and thanks for your comment! So I can easily cast my vote towards Songs Of Syx, as it is currently very close to 1.0 release state. Dwarf Fortress on the other hand is the living incarnation of the Early Access concept and still has a lot of things on the to-do list. Syx feels very complete and offers damn good city building/empire building/sandbox experience. Hope this helps!

@@Ic0nGaming Buying Song of Syx then! Thanks for the input, and wish me luck, haha! Seems like a lot to get into but at the same time rewarding as hell! Heard 1.0 is coming up soon! Anyways, subbed, seeing as I am already a regular watcher. Might as well, haha!

You hunt monsters. Take trade. Start insurrections on places. Become bandit leader. A million things to do.

Artifact collecting is all I can think of but good luck doing that without being able to find food. Also quite a pain to even locate anything on the map.

I've managed to make a wolf warlord who killed a lord and took control of a human Hamlet, effectively forcing my own personal faction onto the map. There's things you can do, it's just super unpolished

As others have stated, there are lots of things you can already do. They are just quite hard to access for a newbie like me and the (current) lack of trading makes food much more of a hassle than it'd need to. Heck, we can't even butcher while I'm writing this. I see these as pretty strong problems, but I'll just wait it out =)

Just be a goblin. They don’t need food.

XDDDDDD

They are default like that on my end. I have enabled it during fortress mode by clicking an icon besides the map for ramp showing. Maybe that carried over to adventure mode? DF is a weird thing like that.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one! I'm myself super new to adventure mode, only read up a few things and went murdering a bit since yesterday :D

That's fair. My personal hope is that I can finally blow up those Goblin Fortresses in Adventure Mode which are defended by Demons. I rarely crack them open even with my best soldiers in fortress mode. I kinda wonder if you can beat those guys in Adventurer Mode better. But so far with all the lacking features I am personally lacking the motivation to try to grind up one dude for an attempt. I'll rather wait for some more features to be filled in, surely makes up for a nicer experience.

​@Ic0nGaming in fortress mode I was able to conquer those goblin fortresses, and my dwarves then behead the demon lord after it surrenders. I use two squads to conquer and then get them all back except for the leader of one of the squads.

@@andrewm3210 In that world where I tried it they totally beat the crap out of three squads of legendary fighters in iron and steel. Demons are wildly different on world spawn. I guess I just got super unlucky on that world :D

@@Ic0nGaming oops I misspoke a bit. I meant to say that i had my squads demand surrender which seems to be super OP compared to trying to conquer or raze a fortress. But to your point, my initial attempts to raze the fortresses with SIXTEEN squads of legendary soldiers resulted in me losing about 50-60 soldiers. My guess is that where the conquest combat mechanics are a bunch of 1 on 1 RNG fights, none of your soldiers can individually take down a demon lord and you get no credit for brining a ton of soldiers to the fight. To the best of my knowledge, the only way to defeat them in Fortress Mode is to demand surrender and occupy, and then your dwarves will execute them. I was able to finally conquer the last two goblin civilizations in my world doing this (all of the goblin civs had their demonlords struck down by angry livestock and the like during worldgen...go figure). One somewhat unrelated interesting thing was that one of the goblin civs arose because a dwarven fortress delved too deep during worldgen and they took over the fortress, forming a new goblin civilization that did not exist during year 1. This civ's demon lord died later during worldgen but when I razed their fort I fought the same demons I would later find hidden in isolated pockets when I was looking for adamantine. This was the only time I found these demons in the missions interface.

Ah well, I take the positives: The Combat already works super well, the GUI is accessible and well made. The rest is just features that need to get done. My only disappointment lies in the fact of needing to wait longer to actually play it the way I want to. But that is really one positive disappointment, if such thing ever existed.

@@Ic0nGaming exactly.. well said

Well it's brutally incomplete. You cannot use many skills an average adventurer would need for survival (especially no butchering/crafting is a current big issue)
