Dwarf Fortress: The Dungeonkeepering
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:28:19 pm »

Just doing a quick interest check to see if people would be interested in a Dungeon Keeper based mod. ie summoning monsters, capturing people, being at war with literally everyone.

I know the succubus mods and the necromancer mods do something similar, but I want all that combined into one beautiful monstrosity of a civ.

By the very nature of dwarf fortress, it's hard to bring out the uniqueness of dungeon keeper, since the theme of DF and DK is almost the same: breed and train monsters (don't laugh, dwarves are also monsters to some degree), build traps, capture, torture and/or kill invaders.

It's more a matter of aesthetics, to be honest.

Kind of, but not quite. Also, it's not been updated to the new version yet, AFAIK.

Yeah keeperrl, one of the best keeper-like game I have ever seen, worth playing but is unsatisfyingly lack of content.
