Dwarf fortress


Iconic

Recommended Posts

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.

They told Earth to make one, and he did, clutter thread FTL.

 

Actually, this is much better than Earth's. I vote Edel!

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

Is there any good graphic pack addons for DF? I saw one really nice isometric screenshot, but can't find the mod :(

My dwarves ran out of drinks, and I don't know how to make new ones :/.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

Here is some mods: My link

 

Their is one that transforms the game into a zombie survival game! That seems really fun in conjunction with a graphics mod, it could be the equivelant to L4D

 

This makes it 3D

 

Earth, yeah - Green it to set an example though.

Urgh... 5 Farmers, and most of them just slack :(, meh, everyone is doing something right now, and that is moving stone from the surface to the huge stone stockpiles.
