"So it was just Dwarf Fortress?" :astronaut-2: "Always was." :astronaut-1:
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:
Before vampires were added dwarves would obsessively count coins and become homeless despite there being empty beds available because of rent and shit. People turned the economy off.
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
:marx-hi:
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.
Toady in that moment: :mao-aggro-shining:
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.
The old "vampire accountant with perfect psychic knowledge of the entire fortress's inventory despite being locked in a windowless room with a ledger" trick./
