Civ forge VS Legendar Lands
« on: January 17, 2010, 03:50:05 pm »

Which is better? Looking at the wiki I like how civ forge has a page with its features so Im kind of leaning towards that, but I dont feel like trying both out, so I would appreciate if anyone could give me some advice. Couldnt find a page on this topic, even tough I am sure there have been before. Thanks in advance for help and (hopefully) no flaming.

Try the ultimate mod, I tried it and for a new it's awesome :D. It has the most content you ever want. And metallurgy/gem info in rtf files.

Also, both mods you've mentioned are cool.

What do you want to specifically know? "Which is better" is not a question. Both are good.

I'd make two different folders of DF; one for Civ Forge and one for Legendary Lands. Try out a fortress in each, and then decide on your favourite. It really is a matter of opinion.

Which is better really depends on your play style. Civilization Forge was designed to add more variety to the game. It can be a bit harder then vanilla DF, but depending on the world you gen it can actually be easier. From what I've heard, Legendary Lands was designed to make the game much more challenging.

So I guess it depends on how much 'fun' you want in your game.

And what's wrong with Dig Deeper >:(?

Nah, just kidding, all the mods are excellent, you should try them all ;D.

But seriously, go Dig Deeper right now or the orcs will get you!

Indeed, unless you're dying tomorrow I suggest making several DF folders and enjoying as many of them as possible. Even the slightest change can have some wonderfully fun effects you might not find in another mod.

Might be easier to answer your question if it were asking which one was better for Adventure Mode vs Fortress Mode (which I still wouldn't have the answer though).

For adventure mode all of them are cool, also you should try Ultimate Mod. Total conversions are good for adventuring too because it's the mode where you see all the modded attacks and weapons directly.

I wouldn't recommend the Mega Mix mod for a real fortress due to lots of unwanted effects of lots of mods in a heap, but the same feature makes it very enjoyable in the adventure mode.
