DWARF FORTRESS

Re: DWARF FORTRESS
Precisely. I used the modbase pack as it adds humans as playable and adds stuff that make humans a bit different.
I am currently playing as dorfs with my edited version of the CivForge mod.
Yes, I like mods .

Yeah, I think my first large project should be the skyvault locked in with people that never met the land-dwellers. Safety first!

Re: DWARF FORTRESS
captnduck finished his video tutorials for dwarf fortress which cover pretty much everything, i found them extremely useful when i was starting but i'm pretty sure that even vet's of DF would learn something new here and there.

Re: DWARF FORTRESS
Shame one me... sorry
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
OMG, just started playing again in the last few days... finally have a CPU that can handle it at reasonable speed...
first year has been fun, my people ran out of food because I had planned on a fishing economy but was surrounded by sturgeon and carp and so that killed a large number, then people went insane from hunger and started killing eachother, now, with my last miner alive (one of my starting dwarves) I get 19 imigrants :D.

Re: DWARF FORTRESS
So my current fortress has 75 dwarves and 5 dwarves till goblins start invading, Horray! Im sure thell make friends with my 2 champions and 3 heros. In the mean time im building a collosium and i need ideas of monuments i should build that are underground. No water or magma included. Sensible suggestions too please.
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
omg, how could u do this to a human D:
as i stumbled over this for the first time, my reaction was of course "lol, back in time?"
but i got bored and came back...
GIVE ME BACK THAT LAST WEEK EVIL DWARFS!!!
dwarfs come in hundreds, tiles never seem to run out, just as new nobles or ore or gems, please make it stop!
no, really, what an amazing game :D

Re: DWARF FORTRESS
where's the linux version? :(
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
doesn't work for me, i open the df script in terminal, it asks me if i want it in fullscreen, and when i answer (either option) the terminal closes and nothing happens
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
Woo, Linux can't even handle ASCII.
I've gotta see what this is all about if so many of you are still playing it. I dismissed it the first time around (yeah, I saw the tutorial). It's a pity the developer won't just make a GUI, it could be so much more inviting to newcomers. Wow, imagine this as an MMO!
Sleska, could I persuade you to write a tutorial for BA once AA's released?

Re: DWARF FORTRESS

you can click menu items and map locations and stuff

If you're on Ubuntu, I believe the command is 'sudo apt-get install dwarf-fortress'Wartender wrote:doesn't work for me, i open the df script in terminal, it asks me if i want it in fullscreen, and when i answer (either option) the terminal closes and nothing happens
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
yeah about that i already got it to work, played it, and got bored of it
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
If you really have played it you get burned out by it, not bored of it.
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
Or you found that you didn't have the right combination of hardware and accessibility. I played on my EEE every day for three months, but I found that I could not effectively play with more than one hundred dwarves or with a siege.
Re: DWARF FORTRESS
true... the "ran out of CPU" issue is what stopped me the first time (I could only get to 50 dwarves before it became unplayable.neddiedrow wrote:Or you found that you didn't have the right combination of hardware and accessibility.

Now that I have a decent CPU I'm scared to go back...
