Dwarf Fortress anyone?

So i am curious if in our community we have anyone that plays dwarf fortress and if we have enough if anyone is interested in starting a XoO succession fort. (also if anyone is interested in giving it a try i am always up for helping new people learn how to play.)

 

I have never heard of this game.

 

A Game of Dwarves, is far superior. Moar beards!!

 

lol game of dwarves.... you mean the watered down version of Dwarf Fortress? when Game Of Dwarves has zombie elephants, Hell, Vampires, and the just staggering amount of depth of dwarf fortress ill consider it a Dwarf Fortress clone. until then its just a bad attempt at coping its better's.

 

Losing is FUN!!!

 

Ive wanted to try it. but its so complex. Ill try it if you can tell me how ;p

 

I'd love to try this out, but I have no clue where to begin.

 

never heard of it and checked the wiki....the depth of the gameplay far outweighs the graphics. Installed now and Ill check it out later.

 

before you chose to play.

embrace this

DF = losing /\ DF = fun => losing = fun

 

holy fuck..I have not got thru the embark process yet and yea..holy fuck.

I can already see why The Museum of Modern Art in New York added this in there permanent collection and it is among the first added.

this brings a famous movie quote to mind........ "The thing's hollow—it goes on forever—and—oh my God—it's full of stars!" - Bowman

It is incredibly complex but at the same time when you build a massive magma pump stack and hook it up then use it to make the entire exterior of your base into a giant magma swamp and incinerate all the enemies... you feel awesome:happy:

 

The wiki is your friend. I dumped hundred of hours into this game on my labby while going to school.

 

Never heard of it.

 

i put like 20 hours into it earlier this year, after watching the hobbit, thinking about giving it another try

 

Also, just gonna leave this right here

 

Trying to set it up right now.

Edit: Awesome. So much fun. Hilarity ensues during every DF game!

Edit2: My life has been ruined by DF.

 

im gonna play it on my honeymoon

 

You know, I saw this topic on the main forum and knew you posted it. You know I'm down sir .

 

I spent 10 hours recreating the world. to find one JUST right

 

Check out Gnomoria on steam. Supposed to be a little more aesthetically pleasing and generally friendlier version of DF. I haven't given it a chance but picked it up for 4$ since it was 50% off.
