Heirs to The Tempest: Goddesses of Blood: Loroi Outpost
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 12:36 pm
With the recent release of 0.42.02 a funny thought hit me. Wouldn't it be fun to do a play-by-committee or Hotseat Let's Play of Dwarf Fortress with a modded Loroi Civilization as the playable race?
The process is simple: Turn a normal dwarf civilization and language into that of elves, then add a caste of smaller males that have a 1:9 birth ratio. Finally, make one in every blue moon a "infertile male" human that can't procreate with Loroi. Now we can play Dwarf Fortress with the cast of Outsider.
Bearded Females are possible.
These are the options as I see them.
Lets Play In the case nobody wants to participate but wants to see what happens to the outpost, I'll do a standard AAR/Let's Play with pictures in my free time. I think a once a week or twice a week update schedule sounds about right.
Play by Council/Committee You all represent one of the characters, who votes in an imaginary council. This way you get to control my actions. For example, you can decide to backstab and seize that human trade caravan... And I'll have to carry it out, for better or worse. Still probably a once a week update schedule, but will have to allow for enough time to debate in which way to expand the outpost next.
Hotseat/Bloodline game The suddenly despotically geniocratic Loroi rotate a new Empress (Game Master/Let's Player) for one full gameplay year to lead the fortress as they seem fit. Probably not something that can be updated every week, because there's a lot of zipping up and sending files back and forth involved.
I'm going to leave this up for discussion for a while, whilst I wait for Dwarf Therapist to be released for 42.02, as I will require that. I'm good at Dwarf Fortress, but not THAT good.
