#1114 No, no, para el modo fortress:
We're going to start in on inns and taverns now. As we said in the report, we'll hold off on recipes and generated games/gambling until the second tavern release to avoid an unseemly delay. So what'll be in the first release? You'll be able to define taverns for use by your dwarves and by visitors (who will know about the presence of the taverns automatically until we get to start scenarios). The main tavern associated area will likely be a meeting hall or dining room, at your discretion -- activities will include instrument use (finally!), singing, dancing, storytelling, drinking and eating. We're also strongly considering doing something with standing orders, at least to the point where the booze supply can be maintained.
There'll be experiments with emotional/intellectual needs in both modes. Socializing in taverns will satisfy some of these needs. We'll probably get rid of "breaks" and just incorporate that time into the eat/drink/party activities according to the needs of the dwarf. Hopefully the amount of labor time available will remain about the same, while the off-time will be more interesting.
We'll have more information about visitor interactions as we get closer to that. There will be an economic aspect but it won't yet be emphasized. We're going to deal with any remaining issues with multi-species forts for this release, and there'll be opportunities to incorporate some visiting critters into your fort on a more permanent basis (most likely mercenaries/adventurers).
LET THE HYPE TRAIN START!
