    I'm incredibly proud of this game.

    As I sit here with my dwarves uncontrollably spiraling into depression, I couldn't help but have a big smile on my face thinking back on how far this game has come.

    I had no idea picking up this game back in 2015 that it would still hold such rich and deep experiences every time.

    Tarn and Zach Adams truly have created a masterwork.

    I hope I'm not alone when I say it has been a privilege to be able to play this.

    So thank you Bay12 games! May our fortunes rise and fall together.

    They talk about it from minute 51 and I haven't and it seems a big deal to me but I haven't read anything about it. I've always found modding df to be a difficult experience and I'm excited to see what the community comes up with

    Dwarf Fortress Gladiator Tournament V - Losers Battle Royale

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 01:47 AM PDT

    Welcome boys and girls, to the annual resurrection of our beloved fighters, who gave their lives for our entertainment! There will be Mountain Goat Men, and Tree Frog Men, and we will see some other of the fan favorites who got unlucky early like Spiro Escargot, Kol Tatloshok and Maxine the Unshaken.

    Our crack team of necromancers have put all of our favorites together, to give them a second chance at glory. I have been informed by our necromantic staff that Armok will lend souls to the reanimated bodies, even the ones who have been reanimated before. Yes, we are looking at you Beul. We are more unsure if Mephistopheles even needs/wants a soul, so we won't discuss it. The winner will be allowed to leave the arena, given a second chance in life. Experience has shown that used souls don't last as long as fresh ones, so the staff gives no guarantees about life expectancy after the fight.

    The animated corpses are marched into position in the Grand Arena. As soon as the horn is sounded, the slightly used souls will take over the bodies and the fight will commence.

    All gladiators are positioned alphabetically, from top left corner, spiraling clockwise around the arena, towards the center. As the arena is quite large, it can be pretty hard to see your favorite if you don't have the best seats, but our announcer will be quick to inform when kills are noticed.

    The horn is sounded and the gladiators spring to life:

    So about that opening animation...

    Posted: 19 Aug 2020 05:00 AM PDT

    I've seen the charming ASCII-Art opening animation many times, and I always liked it but, previously, I assumed it was about some more general kind of FUN. Then, via the Wiki, I recently got a full run-down spoiler about the Circus.

    I can't help but suspect that this animation might be that you're-totally-screwed-now Effective-Win-Condition of the game, given the splash of fire and immediate end of Urist McTrailerStar. Does anybody know if I'm objectively correct?

    So I decided to use the advanced generators, in the configuration of regions, expected to find a map similar to Middle-Earth or a Europe, however I found this interesting map with its regions divided by mountains.

    Is DF like Linux and Rimworld like Microsoft?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2020 11:12 PM PDT

    Rimworld is easy to get into although it does have a bit of a skill curve. It's the most well known and is very user friendly. A child could pick up the game and have a reasonable chance to understand the game. It's meant for a general audience with easy to understand controls

    Dwarf Fortress is a game not too different from Rimworld, lacking in many simplicities but making up for it with extensive controls and customization. It isn't meant to learn casually, you basically need an hour long tutorial just to get the game started. It's graphics are bare minimum (literally ascii) and allow for total re-customization. There are no clickable button prompts and the mouse is rarely used, creating a foreign control scheme for normal users. The game has a skill cap reaching the moon until you learn the controls (I'd even argue it's more complex than C:DDA). If you can get into it you will end up with a much better experience than those who play Rimworld albeit a minority because of it's difficulty to get into.

    Does this make sense? I find this to be an excellent analogy between the two games. I really like Rimworld, but DF seems to open and expansive and complex. Also it would be cool if someone made a mod replicating the scenario featured in Rimworld including the sci-fi elements and events as well as vice-versa mod with Dwarf Fortress in Rimworld.

    Funny adventure mode story

    Posted: 18 Aug 2020 04:32 PM PDT

    So I am a regular adventure mode player and i always bring a wild animal for food that I kill at the start of the game just in case so today I brought a cougar and I chased it all around and by the time I butchered it and got the meat I noticed it's teeth where everywhere so i had to backtrack like 10 minutes of chasing and collect teeth to sell at the market
