Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

[Supersylox]

Why is this game so complicated :C

[Ad Bot]

[Jacob/Lee]

Because dwarves.

[aludane]

Dwarf Fortress is more complicated than quantum physics.

no its not the games easy to navigate

Dwarf Fortress is more complicated than quantum physics.

It's easy once you get the hang of it. You just gotta know how to decipher the alien graphics into something you can comprehend, what makes dwarves happy, and how to murder the baddies.

I'm not quite sure whether this statement is true because with some information on either of those subjects they make a lot of sense.

Made a new adventure mode character, an axedwarf.

After adventuring around a little bit I made the mistake of selling a shield without looking at it. Then when I looked at the description I found out it was masterwork with all sorts of engravings. I tried to buy it back, but even after obtaining almost 1000 monies, they still wouldn't sell it back to me. So I just grabbed it.

I know what happens when you steal stuff so I planned on swimming to an island. I also foresaw this in my character creation and made sure I was good enough at swimming. I started to swim to an island. Then just as night started to fall, I froze to death from the ocean freezing.

More people to play and post.

Also, peasants as companions can be a mixed bag. On my first quest it was em and a peasant. The peasant proceed to make a trolls upper body sail of in an arc with a copper carving knife. Then in my next quest I had him + 3 more. We got slaughtered by goblins.

One time my entire army of +10 started chasing after me, so I jumped into a river, I was about to escape but suddenly winter and I turned into a dwarven popsicle.

Peasants are literally nothing more than Bogeyman-B-Gone. I don't know if NPCs can increase their skills, but peasants sure as hell never live long enough to become useful.

Also, the epic update is only a few short months (!!!) away!

Peasants are supposedly more lucky than heroes, and heroes more than demigods. So an army of peasants against a dragon might be better than one of soldiers.

Also: Cannot wait for the epic update.

[aludane]

I feel like starting adventure mode.

Do it. Just always play as demigod and look up what skills are useless.

Mine tend to become epic stuff so i don't know what the hell your doing with your guys. I usually just run around gouging eyes out so that my peasants  can kill them with less danger then they become expert guys and destroy stuff. They tend to be good against one strong guy but not a lot of weaker ones.
