The Urists or Sim Fortress?
« on: February 27, 2012, 09:25:49 pm »
The other day, a wiki walk on TV Tropes lead to a wiki walk on the Sims wiki. The wide variety of things present in the Sims games lead to a train of thought ending with realising the similarities it has with DF, from micro management to ghosts to not dealing well with fire.
The result of that long train was this topic.

Which would be cooler: A Dwarf Fortress/The Sims crossover, or a The Sims/Dwarf Fortress crossover?

The Urists: Set up a thriving family in a suburban town. Your family is a bunch of dwarves, with dwarvish traits like alcoholism and short-temperedness.
Sim Fortress: Strike the Earth, starting with a family of seven Sims! Watch out for sieges of...um...I don't know enough about the Sims to figure out what the sieges would be composed of, but you'd get bandits to steal your treasure and social workers to take your children.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

We all know how this is going to end.

The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

I think it would have to be seiges of competing needs and plumeting unhappiness.

Or vampires. Swimming pools. Crazy people. Death.
