After taking a turn in the secession game I decided to start up my own fort. Two and a half years in, I have seen a weremoose attack (two dead, infected militia commander is trapped in a walled-off section of the fort), and just now an Etten (a giant two-headed humanoid creature). The Etten died without too much disaster, but it has dropped a tablet which turns anyone who reads it into a necromancer.
"Literacy" was always the most basic tool of necromantic propaganda. If you are not literate you cannot be fed necromancer propaganda. The most steadfast anti-necromancer I knew in my childhood was my maternal grandfather who was illiterate. Necromantic propaganda did not reach him
No other simulator feels as alive as Dwarf Fortress. The steam version is really accessible.
The only thing Rimworld does that I want DF to add is to generate an interactable instance/map for missions outside the fort
that would be legit cool. or if DF had the same level of radically game altering mods.
playing rimworld right now but im in space slowly building up a former exploration vessel into a warship using cobbled hulks of pirate ships i've defeated in combat. mods be crazy. also how cool would it be to have a sailing ship in DF
You can still get it for free on their website and install a graphics overlay.
I pirated it today to play it for the first time then I read a bunch of stuff about the devs and now I feel too bad to play it
It is still for free on their website. Yeah it would be cool if you could pay the $30 because they live in Hell world and have medical bills but it was available to the public for 19 years.
Can a necromancer raise the Etten to fight for you or do you have to start a crusade against them?
for FUN, you could let someone read it, then set them up in an office as a permanent manager/bookkeeper who never needs to eat.
you could also set up a resurrection chamber where you take newly deceased citizens (or citizens you "deceased" on your own). This chamber would have an adjacent room with some sort of enemy in it, with view blocked by a wall of fortifications and a drawbridge. Necromancer is in the room, you drop the bridge so they see the enemy. They panic, and resurrect the nearest corpse. There's a chance this resurrected corpse is an intelligent undead. Do this 10-20 times and you have a squad of soldiers who never get tired and never have to stop training to sleep or eat.
Necromancers can be lots of fun, or lots of FUN.
In short, you want him to create the dwarven version of Ainz Ooal Gown.

I don't think they read the tablet itself, though. From what I've read it has to be in a book. In adventure mode, though, you can totally read the slab!
