Don't worry. I was addicted to some pre-release patch making the other week. Expect at least one new nation in the first patch, and it wont be dwarves .

But, I must confess to having played DF for at least 30 hours this weekend (I had the friday off) .

What nation is it? Early Machaka, or perhaps Late Pythium?

Either way, the mere fact of its existence pre-release smacks of awesome.

Entirely new one.
Oooh, is it perhaps Kalevala themed one, or maybe one based on biblical Israel? I've heard hints that you guys have had plans for both, and that you yourself wished to see a Kalevala nation....

...but ah, I wait with excitement. In under a month I'll be 18 and I'll have much easier time to arrange transactions. The demo will propably, depending if there are likeable nations there, keep me entertained untill that.

Yeah, the game is decent, and keep in mind that its a very early beta. Like I said many times, this is definitely the game of the year for me because of the deep gameplay...and of course Dominions 3.
PS.
The adventure mode is also exciting. I just recently lost my uber sword [and I died like 10 seconds after it], because it was stucked in a monster's head. I tried to pull it off, but a kobold archer popped up in the corridor, and I guess his name was Robin Hood probably, because he killed me with a single shot. The arrow just removed the brain of my char.

This is the most violent ASCII game I've played since the debut of my Fantasy Pit Champion game back in high school. Ah, memories...

Don't let Jack Thompson know about this one.
