Iconic Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Dwarf Fortress is an ASCII game which includes both a roguelike adventure mode, and the more popular Dwarf Fortress Mode, which focuses on the creation and survival of a small dwarven settlement. It has a very steep learning curve, partly due to its ASCII graphics, but also due to the fact that it is one of the most complex games ever released. Dwarf Fortress is completely free.Before you play, you must generate a world to play in, which persists until you create a new one. World generation can be time consuming, even on modern computers, but be patient. It's worth it. As the game seems insanely popular in the back room (and the only thing being discussed recently) I have decided it would be best to create a new thread, so keep all discussion of it here and guides and stuff can be posted here, if anyone wants anything put on the main page please Green Bold your requests so it catches my attention while skimming. some helpful links:Download & Main websiteDwarf Fortress WikiWikipedia page [Falador tavern] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retech Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well this is interesting. I've stockpiled two hundred units of gold, but then my dwarves starved because I couldn't make a farming plot in time. I sorta left my computer for ten minutes to make a snack. :-X Master of your domain? I am Lord of the manor, Queen of the castle, King of the county!
