I found this awesome new RTS type game, Dwarf Fortress.
« on: May 30, 2012, 03:38:43 pm »
It is shweet.
There isn't a lot of plot, but it's about 7 dwarfs who go to build a fortress.
You can command them to build, dig, and fight monsters.
Sadly, it isn't multiplayer, but it's still pretty fun!
It's available for download here.

Try it out, I think you guys would like it.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

I tried it out and I'm stuck on level four. The swordsdwarves disobey me and drown their sorrows in alchohol instead of fighting the horrors just above.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Guys, don't play this, srsly. 
I heard the developer is a terrible man who sells secrets to the Fedual-Nazi-Communists. Also doesn't bother to set up a forum for the fans. Not to mention the DRM and tired game mechanics.

Your description of the game is wrong. It isn't about 7 dwarves at all. It's about cats.

I know because I am an expert in these matters.

Can't live without it. The game is pretty much impossible without it. Only $0.99 though.

I used to play this a lot, but left because comunity sucks, its full of racists and magma fetishists. Also there's nobody on multiplayer.

btw why always online for using DLC is s**t, what the hell, devs?. >:(

I want to tell you they were bad men, cephalo.  I want to tell you that with a better overseer the Fortress never would've gotten so bad someone would get offed in a pointless fisticuffs.
But the sad truth charlie?
It was inevitable.
