Dwarf Fortress!
« on: March 26, 2012, 08:53:25 AM »
Anyone else play? I ran into it about a year ago and was too intimidated by the UI to do anything productive. But after their most recent update, I downloaded it and used an intro guide. I'm thoroughly impressed by the depth of the game, and the chaos that can erupt at any moment.

For the uninitiated: Dwarf Fortress

Just tried playing around with it.  What a labour of love that must have been - its huge!

The world I generated ended up with > 100000 historical figures.

Will post some later...

Browsing through the histories can be fun. I recall one angry god who turned one fallen servant into a wereturtle, and another into a weresloth. Apparently he had some taste for slow-moving animals.
