Dwarf Fortress vs OpenTTD.

There. I said it. Now the forum can rip itself apart as I watch from my bunker laughing manically!

Sim City: Llamas and Splines

Dwarf Fortress: Death and Murder


So... I guess DF wins.  I play both and I deffinitely spend more time on DF.  That doesn't necessarilly mean I like it more tho, it's just harder to get anything done.  I can make a fairly successful city in SC4 in about an hour.  After an Hour of DF, I've generated a world and almost picked my starting 7 embarkees.

DF is better overall, but Simcity3000 is still one of the best modern city simulators ever.

OpenTTD vs Dwarf fortress? Both are Brilliant and great games but neither is better than the other as they are fundamentally different.

I honestly couldn't choose.
Both have unique flavor.


Problem with SimCity is once it gets old, it gets old.
Once DF gets old, there will be a new feature if you have the patience.

this is a dwarf fortress forum, so majority would pick dwarf fortress.

That was overdue

I've played most sim cities and all civilizations. Compared to Df they're restrictive in what you can do and what you can expect. They're simple, I guess you can say. Too simple. Boringly simple.

From a developers perspective, the difference in amount of time devoted to the games is vast and noticeable. Toady One pays attention to detail and works until his task is complete, others spend
Enough time to make the game sellable and not any more.

Overseer vs mayor, hrmmm...
