Default Re: Dwarf Fortress

Dwarf fortress is a wonderful game - reminds me a bit like playing with legos when I was a kid. The game just gets pretty slow on any non-top-notch computers if you go on for a while. And the UI isn't very user friendly. Still, it's a good game. I know a few dom3 players who play dorf fort, though I haven't touched it for a while (lack of time, I keep telling myself).

Boatmurdered is a very good example of what Dwarf Fortress contains. Only things they really leave out is those huge megaprojects one can make should they want to. Still, you might want to familiarize yourself a bit with what the game looks, what each icon means and what you can do before reading Boatmurdered, else you might have no idea what's going on in the pictures. Actually, with Boatmurdered, you might have no idea what's going on anyway.
