So, Dwarf Fortress had deep financial system at one point.
Dwarves had currency and made wages and paid for food and housing and could invest their money.
A few dwarves early on would come into money then invest more than the rest which started a snow ball effect. A few dwarves made infinitely more money while the rest dropped into poverty.
Impoverished dwarves needed constant employment to afford food and housing. So you had to keep them working constantly or they’d be evicted and starve.
One favorite tactic players had was to build room full of levers that didn’t do anything and assigning all the unemployed dwarves to endlessly pull the levers. In this way they were “doing a job” and make wages enough to live.
The deep economic system of Dwarf Fortress has long been removed due to every society unavoidably becoming a depressing mess of starving dwarves doing meaningless busywork.
Which did not make for a fun game.
Simply makes you think!!!!
