Dwarf Fortress

[quote=caucheka]anyone else ever heard of/played dwarf fortress? i decided to give it a go after hearing about it and god damn if theres one game that i wish had a tutorial more than minecraft its dwarf fortress.[/quote]

[quote=Visfarix]The game where "Losing is fun!" Never actually played it but I have run across some Dwarf Fortress communities. Sometimes players will chronicle their Dwarf Fortress game and share it or play games where players play for a period of time and then switch off with another player until the fortress gets destroyed. Some really funny things can happen in that game. My favorite is when players decide to build lava traps/weapons. Then somehow it becomes inevitable a dwarf will go on a rampage and press the button to flood the fortress with lava and kill everyone.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757]I made a kid go berserk and kill a puppy, then he kinda dragged it around for a bit before he died. Depriving your people of things is fun.[/quote]

[quote=Shrillex]Sounds interesting.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]haha, its a really complicated game seeing as how its still in alpha.. for 5 years. you create a world through a generator and then embark your set of 7 dwarves to start a fortress. and you can decide what they bring and what their skills are. if your fortress does great then other dwarves will come along and join you. and occaisionally you can get raided and trade with other nations. oh and did i mention that its free??[/quote]

[quote=Shrillex]Sounds sick![/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah, some helpful links: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ the website to get the game http://df.magmawiki.com/ the wiki http://www.youtube.com/user/captnduck and this guy has a bunch of tutorials on how to get started and stuff. and i'd recommend using ironhand's graphic set, located here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53180.0 once i figure out how to stream stuff i'd gladly stream something if you'd like.[/quote]

[quote=Atarios]i dont get the screenshots, is that the game really?[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]on the main website? yeah thats what it looks like. hence why i recommended the texture pack.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]I saw a screenshot of Dwarf Fortress and I was like "No.". It may be fun and something like that but for me it's just way too abstract and complex to have fun with it.[/quote]
