− | ** 2nd theory is: Armok was planning to fill the world with metal beings - but had to fill it with living beings as part of a contract with other unknown Gods (where Armok is god of Dwarves, and other Gods are Gods of other species). Those Gods are less skilled in world-making than Armok, but can create things Armok can't make (just like other civilizations can make Exotic [[Weapons]]); and therefore, those Gods pay Armok with those unique things in exchange for Armok making worlds for them (or perhaps they pay with some sort of unobtanium). Essentially, it is a result of "design by committee" anti-pattern. The "fill the world with living beings" idea in question probably belonged to God of Elves, what loves everything natural - and Armok agreed because payment was good, but nevertheless was so pissed off what it spilled into the world - | + | ** 2nd theory is: Armok was planning to fill the world with metal beings - but had to fill it with living beings as part of a contract with other unknown Gods (where Armok is god of Dwarves, and other Gods are Gods of other species).

That could also explain why biology and physiology works strange in Dwarf Fortress - Armok never though he would need to make living beings at all, cue them being made rushed and crude - by Armok's standards, of course. --[[Special:Contributions/109.62.164.162|109.62.164.162]] 18:51, 23 May 2024 (UTC) |
