− | |||
− | + | A '''Tavern''' or '''Inn''' is a place where people [[drink]], lodge, socialize, and entertain with each other. They exist in both [[Fortress mode|fortress]] and [[adventure mode]]. | |
− | [[ | ||
− | + | ==Fortress mode== | |
− | + | Taverns are designated [[locations]] in fortress mode. You may designate them from any [[meeting area]] or [[dining room]]. Upon creation, the new tavern will be given a random name, but you can rename it by pressing {{k|n}} in the locations screen. | |
− | |||
− | : | + | You can assign dwarves to the [[occupation]]s associated with taverns: [[performer]]s and [[tavern keeper]]s. However, assigned performers do not appear to actually perform more often than unassigned dwarves, and both performers and tavern keepers will serve drinks in mugs to tavern-goers if your tavern has mugs in a [[container]]* and a drink stockpile. Serving dwarves tend to provide more alcohol than a creature would normally drink, which can lead to issues with [[drunk]]enness and even [[#Bugs|death]], particularly for your non-dwarven long-term residents! |
− | * ''' | + | :: (* Note that a [[bin]], which can be set in a 1-tile stockpile to hold only mugs, is ''not'' a substitute for a container in a tavern. Instead, those mugs would be used by your citizens and long-term residents when thirsty. Mugs stored in the tavern's containers are solely for the use of the tavern keeper and performers to serve drinks.) |
− | + | Taverns are places where your fortress's idle dwarves can mingle with [[visitor]]s from nearby [[civilization]]s. These visitors can be members of any nearby humanoid race, and will come with one of five occupations: [[performer]], [[mercenary]], [[bandit]], [[monster slayer]], or [[diplomat]]. Once a character is in the tavern, it can do the following: | |
− | + | * '''Socialize''': So long as there are at least two characters in the tavern, they may socialize. This can involve telling each other stories, reciting poetry, or sharing music. The only requirement for the latter is that you include a moderate amount of empty space in the tavern's floor plan, which the game recognizes as a "dance floor." Stocking the tavern with a variety of [[instrument]]s will improve the quality of the music, as performers will simply improvise the sound of any missing instruments. Selecting a socializing creature with {{k|v}} and then pressing {{k|Enter}} will allow you to see the details of the story, song, or poem being performed, though this only works for fortress dwarves and long-term residents. For seeing visitors' performances, press {{k|u}} in main menu to go into unitlist, navigate Right {{k|→}} twice to select Others tab, and use Down {{k|↓}} to scroll to the visitor you're interested in, then press {{k|j}} to view their current activity. | |
− | |||
− | + | * '''Rent Rooms''': If you build a [[bed]]room and assign it to the tavern (select the bedroom with {{k|q}}, then press {{k|l}} to bring up a list of locations to assign it to.), it will now be known as a "rented room" and become available for rent by visitors who were granted [[long-term resident|long-term residency]]. These vistors don't actually pay you anything for use of the room, but will offer their services in exchange for room and board, essentially joining your fort but refusing to accept labors until they petition for citizenship (with military ones never doing so while alive). You can assign multiple bedrooms to a single Tavern. | |
− | + | * '''Share information:''' Citizens and visitors alike can share information with each other, especially when plied with alcohol. This can include [[rumor|rumors]] about the wider world, the location of your artifacts, learning songs and dances of other civilizations or even a [[report]] on what happened to the squad you sent on [[mission]] that never returned. | |
− | + | Because [[location|locations]] help your fort mood and focus and let jobs finish in them, there's little gameplay reason to not ensure your dwarves often visit them by combining them with dining halls, drinking mounds or even dormitories and barracks. Lavishly decorating your tavern and filling it with such [[Stress|mood]]-enhancing items as [[mist]] generators will greatly boost your fort's happiness, as every dwarf will eventually need to visit the place to eat or drink. However, should your fortress dwarves be [[Necromancer#Raise_corpse.2Fintelligent_undead|Intelligent Undead]] and/or just plain incredibly distracted from a tavern need, doing so will bring them to a halt, as they start to {{gametext|Socialize!|5:1}} to try to fill their needs⁎. In such a state, they'll stop doing regular jobs you assign them until satisfied, finding this way more important. This can be stopped by deleting the zone with {{k|i}}-{{k|x}}-{{k|X}}; or by unassigning the location with {{k|q}}-{{k|l}} and pressing {{k|Enter}} on the 'Remove assignment' option, but they'll have to start over next time. | |
− | + | Although taverns attract foreign visitors by default, you can adjust this option in the location menu, and the total number of visitors in d_init.txt . If you feel that your dwarves would be better off without fraternization with other peoples, you can simply change the tavern's policy on guests to serve locals only on creation, or have visitor cap of 0†. You can also adjust the number of mugs and instruments the tavern will keep on hand from this menu. | |
− | + | :: († If visitors already arrived, no new visitors will arrive past this point, but the old ones will leave on their own time.) | |

If you happen to be in possession of a much coveted [[artifact]], foreign [[agent]]s ''will'' eventually venture to your tavern to gather information, assuming your dwarves can't hold their tongue. They will pose as any other [[visitor]], chat with your dwarves and other tavern patrons, potentially trying to [[Villain#Plotting|corrupt them]], before reporting back home. If your fortress is confirmed to hold artifacts that other entities have laid a [[claim]] on, you may attract a lot of [[siege|unwanted attention]]. |
− | + | {{D_for_Dwarf}} | |
− | + | A little-known idiom about taverns and cats is the ancient dwarven expression, "Oh Urist, curiosity didn't kill the cat, the booze did." This became popularized early on due to cats liking booze just as much, if not more, than dwarves did, which led to a century-long friendship between cat and dwarf kind — and many cats dying of alcohol poisoning in taverns. Many, many cats. Sadly, cats have recently become less inclined to drink booze. Scholars claim this is probably due to the process of [[Bugs|natural selection]]. | |
==Adventure mode== | ==Adventure mode== | ||
− | Taverns | + | Taverns are founded in [[fortress]]es and [[town]]s in adventure mode. They are also visible in the [[structure]]s list of [[legends]] mode. In the fast travel screen, their names will be in yellow with a brown background ({{DFtext|example|6:6:1}}). Taverns are represented with a {{Raw Tile|¶|6:6:1}} symbol. |
− | + | An adventurer can order drinks and rent rooms at taverns. To do this, simply talk to the [[tavern keeper]] and choose to {{DFtext|Ask about available services, drinks, rooms, etc.}} then choose the drink you want to order or the room you want to rent. The drinks are different for each tavern and they occasionally change, so going to a tavern one week and coming back the next will mean you will likely have different options of drinks you can order. Just remember that you have to pay the tavern keeper - of course, you could just ignore your payment and run off if you aren't planning to return any time soon, but that will get you labeled as a [[Thief|criminal]]. | |
− | You | + | You don't have to pay off your debts immediately unless you plan to leave the tavern, you can even pay them off the next day, if you have a room at the tavern. However, if you do plan on leaving the tavern and you wish to pay off your [[drunk|night of debauchery]] or your room, talk to the tavern keeper and choose to {{DFtext|Trade or settle debts}} you can pay in currency or trade items of equal or greater value than what you owe them in order to pay off your debts. |
− | === | + | ===Other types of taverns=== |
− | + | Other forms of drinking establishments exist, but are highly dubious in the "drinking" aspect. Drinking mounds are found in [[hillock]]s, but instead of mounds of alcohol, [[drunk|drunken dwarves]] fill the hollow structure. Fortunately, the drunks make easy meat shields for early playthroughs. | |
+ | |||
+ | "Tavern trees" are built by elves in [[forest retreat]]s. As their name implies, they are completely made of tree trunks and branches, and resemble modern outdoor picnic shelters. Despite having a tavern keeper, they provide no services nor drinks, just instruments and a place for elves to group together and sing about their usual nature stuff. | ||
