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

[?]

Good graphics could be implemented, but the thing is the developers are more focused on gameplay.

If you need anything more than a tile-set already out there then I don't know what else you could ask for.

[Mega-Bear]

Exactly my point.

Jesus you're dumb.

On to a topic, Dwarf Fortress was my gate to the wonderful world of Roguelikes. After getting past the "oh look the Matrix" phase of Dwarf Fortress, I discovered Rogue Basin, a wiki on roguelikes. After that, I found many roguelikes, coupled with the Bay 12's knack for finding good ones I become a roguelike fan. I've played many a roguelikes, but I'll drop some of my favorites. Goblin Camp (think less complex Dwarf Fortress with a decent UI and mouse support), Dwarf Fortress (DERP), Rogue Survivor, Cataclysm, Aliens: the Roguelike and Prospector.

Roguelikes are a rich genre, so much content and so many hours of fun in a tiny package. They don't need graphics to be awesome.

Oh wow, so you like the game now?

Oh wow, so you like the game now?

Are you joking, because I never said I didn't like it..

How do I stab myself in the brain? I want to commit Self Delete.

How do I stab myself in the brain? I want to commit Self Delete.

For as interesting as that would be, you can't. Press escape and give in to starvation.

[Scream.]

Four of my dwarves just jumped off a cliff. They were all happy, so I don't think they were planning on committing Self Delete.

What the forget is wrong with this game

This, coupled with my insane dwarf still living, makes me scared to death of continuing

[Jacob/Lee]

Excellent...


Anyway, I noticed if you have a bunch of companions with you and you die at a notable place they will be there if you go back as another adventurer. A lord sent me to kill the roc that ambushed me and when I got there all my old companions were milling about the nest fighting the roc.

I recruited them again and got most of them killed fighting a massive goblin bandit group and a fireball throwing titan at the same time.

>80 dwarves
>2 fighters in my squad

I'M READY FOR AN INVINCIBLE TITAN YES I AM

on the other hand i should really make more squads and learn how to train crossbowmen and make use of those towers on my tiny little castle that leads to my gigantic underground megaplacething. if only i hadn't built a z-level down, i could have a moat and kill all that are standing outside of it with dabbling crossbowmen

[Scream.]

Got a new group of migrants, who all almost immediately went insane. I moved all of my insane dwarves to a lower level and locked them in with lots of supplies, as well as everything else they could possibly need to survive. This makes 4 insane dwarves.

Yet again, it doesn't say they went insane. But they pile up items in their rooms, make random stuff and praise it, etc

It's really creepy

They all act like my original demented dwarf. Who is in fact still alive.

[Frontrox]

Are you joking, because I never said I didn't like it..

Just forget it.

Got blitzkrieged by an army of goblins. My fortress of 80 was reduced to 5 before the game crashed (probably out of shame)
