    Imagine some :sicko-zoomer: using AIDungeon to try to fill out a vapid homework essay and then the teacher reads about Count Grey smirking, ripping out throats, then laughing and applauding himself.

        Dwarf Fortress tried having economic simulators in it, but undead creatures would eventually own everything and that stopped being fun for most. :thinking-about-it:

            Also, if you got a noble or king it was always good practice to squash him with the drawbridge atomizer or drown him because they’d ruin everything hy demanding increasingly bizarre ostentatious shit lol

              Oh yeah, and getting a noble was what activated the economy too! I forgot about that. Toady turned it off as a feature because it was just too annoying.

            It's still good practice to do that. The only valuable leadership position in dwarf society afaik is the mayor, who is elected based on their charisma and can help reduce unhappiness by giving unhappy dwarves someone to complain to, and of course the appointed bureaucrats that do all of the paperwork.
