so kinda notice with ordinary that the site restrictions actually bar certain creatures from showing up in the adv species pool based on if they originate from a site that is omitted from starting (for a probably not tested example a cave), but some how doing this prevents that adventure species type from just starting in any of the other sites which was odd that if one edit (via dfhack as a test) the origin site to a town it just open that species up to starting in any of the entities other starting sites? have found the change seem conflicting with ordinary 'sandbox/old way' approach/idea also this change bumps into it messing with ways one could mod the game as it currently stands one might have to make all civs into human towns to bypass the restriction if they want their modded creature to show up or get really lucky with them moving to a human towns, an elven resorts barring dwarven sites they are too restricted to even risk modding that site type in.
so the question pops up  'will ordinary have the site start restrictions be lifted completely?' I accepted chosen and heroic being a bit restricted but felt it was a bit odd ordinary got hit with this limitation.

Hail!

Watched today's BlindIRL stream and got some questions i wanted to make, specially about defenses on sieges in later states of the Myth and Magic arc.
Will we be able to forgot the protection of gods, and have new rooms, like "Arcanum Sanctums" to act in a similar way to what you commented as temples and runes doing?

Mainly, because it's cool to have temples, and it's cool to have a religion system.
However, what if i wanna roleplay a more.... "Arcanocracy"?  Where instead of relying on gods, they rely on the Magic, that i imagine will come later in the updates.

We have a colour issue there (edit: and visibility problem besides), so, FTFY.

Excuse me, but I'm reading quite a few run-ons in this block of text?

I think he's saying he can't play as a Dwarf in Adventure mode.

As in, run-on sentences - grammar/punctuation issues in a large block of text, which could also do with sone spacing to make it less block-of-texty, in this case.

Got 2 more to actually ask.

when playing a Bard/storyteller, or walking around asking the location of an obscure site, I find myself doing the same Social prompt over and over.  while normally fine, Fishing for the same site over and over, or scrolling to the same song in a huge list eats up abit of time.  Unsure how the code works, but is there any plans on reworking the menu searches?  perhaps adding a fave option to mark common ones for quick use, or a "do last social action again" button?...

also unsure if oversight or design, but I noticed when telling stories about people, you cant directly talk about yourself, you need to talk about a site or person you interacted in, is there a hardware reason to that?  without seeing the code I can only guess how complex/simple such a thing would even be...

You need to make your questions lime green or Toady won't see them!

He can only see in lime green wave length?

no, it gets very confusing in here in particular, and helps sort things out when answers happen - which would be at or close to the end of the month.

My brain is empty of questions for the moment, so I'm just Posting-To-Watch.

@Egan_BW Welcome to the new thread!

Is that a coati girl, btw? As your pfp, I mean? One of those animals I would not know to recognize (by their tails) were it not for them appearing in DF, with very cute sprites in Premium. Or maybe it isn't a coati girl, and DF has not saved the day.

[Egan_BW]

Unfortunately she is just a cat. That's a cool idea, though.

Do you have plans in the near (pre-map rewrite) future to more organically incorporate dungeon denizens and magic materials/items into worldgen history? I get that their short-term implementation was intended more as a proof-of-concept than anything else, but (to me at least) they can currently feel distractingly disjointed from the lore of the world they exist in. Any small steps towards making them more active participants in a world's history would be welcome IMO.

Similar question, different focus: Right now it seems that every world has just one type of mysterious site/artifact, determined randomly at world-gen; if an adventurer gets hold of an <elder mudstone ring>, for example, it's safe to assume that every other mysterious site in that world will have <elder mudstone> artifacts as well. Will it be possible at some point to get mysterious sites of multiple different sphere types in the same world?

See the prior Future of the Fortress reply.

2) This is really just starting out, toying with the idea of a primordial chaos of one kind or another that left appropriate things behind.  There will be various expansions now as we go, and a single remnant material won't be the basis of most magic most of the time.

Sweet, thanks
