Maybe I've just been playing a little too much Dwarf Fortress Lately.. But I freakin love the randomly generated History it chucks out on the generation of a map.
Once Villages get going I was thinking maybe you can have them be Aware of their surroundings, Locations of Mineshafts, Dungeons, and Other little secrets to Gossip and spread rumors about to the player.
If a Town is big enough let it generate a Library full of books and maps with detailed information on the surroundings and histories of the town, maybe some notable people that lived there even if its useless is Interesting and sometimes In Dwarf Fortress' case hillarious, A guy dying to a duck.
On that note I know you're going to be adding quests... hopefully some notorious monsters or villains to raise your fame in the village would be great. Ones with lairs, or maybe just a territory. It would be awesome to attack a bandit camp, or raid a bigger monsters cave.
Honestly I'd be happy to receive Rampaging persistent megabeasts that come and attack my base... but I know the general public isn't into the whole "losing is fun!" idea.
I like the idea, but may I expand on it a little?
Maybe if the libraries in Strongholds/Ruins also have some books/history in them? Like it could explain what the inhabitants were like before they were wiped out, and how they were killed in the first place?
That would be pretty cool, maybe give you a little bit of information on the creature that did it... maybe where it resides if it isn't still there :tongue.gif: The ones in the stronghold could maybe give detailed information and history on the boss monsters, how many they've killed and how long they've been around :biggrin.gif:
