As stated, it would be awesome if the whole team could generate as random NPCs or citizens. Basically, names like David Baumgart or Nicholas Vining could generate, then some sort of visual identification is added (hairstyle for David probably...). They could a) be normal citizens or b) have special powers and needs, like not eating evil dairy products or needing a steady supply of laudanum-brewed coffee to output amazing entertainment. Why? Well, whenever the game crashes we know just who to prioritize for testing out fresh artifacts. It would also just be awesome to command the devs around
or maybe you could do what firaxis did by adding an easter egg that gives your people special powers if you rename their names to gaslamp staff.
Then i think the original idea is more fun. Add them in as nobility with lots of strange and bizarre demands and quite the tempers
I agree with that one. I really want to have a citizen equivalent to Sir Nicholas (to pack him into a clockwork armour and send him to die in a blaze of glory, of course; how else would he reach Valhalla?).
