Do you use Fortress mode just to make a kickass dungeon for your adventurer to explore in, or do you play it like the main game it is now?

Personally I like to start off by creating a thriving, near-invincible capital city, then I get into the elaborate, unnecessarily complex dungeon stuff later, hopefully forming an entrance to the BIG TOP before abandoning the fortress.

i go for "fantasy world simulation" myself.  i play forts and adventurers.  i dont play either in any way to make concessions for the other side.

Fantasy world simulation, but I never play adventure mode at all. Been meaning to try it out, but the thought of hiking over the learning curve again keeps stopping me.

honestly there isnt really a learning curve for adventure mode. sure some of the keys are different but after learning fortress mode it's a cake walk...on magma.

It is very simple to learn.
Not easy to play, but simple to learn

I personally play fortresses to enjoy the whole building a fortress that survives based on my whimsy. The power trip alone nearly makes up for the time spent doing it, and the !!fun!! had playing adds to the experience.

Adventure mode is great to understand the combat mechanics and figure out what will work in the Fortress mode military.

Trying Adventure really made me realise the huge difference between axes, spears and swords. And I understood what armor protects against (or not).

Adventure is much more intuitive than Fortress too.

Its also pointless. Currently, you can basically just die against randomn monsters, or you can macro up pointless training macros. There isn't much interesting to do other then slaughter babies/etc.

  And what is more dorfy than going to murder every living thing in the game world you are currently in?

Doing it with an item covered in FB extract from your previous fortress.

Adventure mode is fun for exploration for me, but for actual gameplay it's meh. Thus I mostly use fortress mode for the fun. The last several forts I've made in part so that I could find them later in adventurer mode. They're not dungeons so much, they are little stories for an adventurer to find.

I have tried adventure mode once or twice but never got into it (granted it has been a while), it just seemed.. Pointless.. There doesn't seem much to do but wander around randomly fighting.  I primarily play fortress mode.

In fortress mode you can die against random monsters, use danger rooms to train an army insanely fast. There isn't much interesting to do other than slaughter goblins/etc.
