What gamemode do YOU play more?
« on: September 23, 2012, 01:10:41 pm »

Are you one of Armok's many spirits, willing to control slave dwarves to build vivid fortresses and protect them to the very end of days?
Or are you a mighty adventurer, always ready to guard the peace of the world, or destroy it utterly and forever?

TELL ME, BAY TWELVE!

(basically, do you prefer to play Dwarf Fortress or Adventurer mode?)

I rule fortresses!
Adventuring ends poorly or boringly.

Fortresses, they help me more with testing purposes.

I love creating worlds , then making some special dwarven (or human / elven ) Fortresses here and there filled with it's trap and treasures.
Then I switch to adventure mode and voyage around the world visiting occasionally those old fortresses and get some loot and killing the occasional demon that pops up from there ^_^
Legend Mode is also appreciated.

In terms of % I'd say :

25% World Generation
40% Fortress Mode
34% Adventure Mode
1% Legends Mode

Forum mode. ;)

I play almost straight fortress mode when I do play, but I'm certainly here on the forums several times longer then the amount I spend actually playing the game.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Fortress mode.

I'm unable to do anything with adventure mode, can't find my way around and end up dead quickly.

So it'd be

99.5% Fortress
.5% Adventure Mode

I play about, I dunno, 35% Fortress Mode, 35% Adventure Mode, and 30% Forum Mode.
These forums are addicting.

Fortress more than I should, less than I'd like.  Adventure mode far far less than I ought to, for balance.  And, in light of the latest message I'll have to admit that Forum Watching (and more) is my biggest time-waster expender, but that's because I can generally do this while at my post here at work also doing the other things that I need to do.

(I know some people say that they can get away with DF displaying n front of their colleagues, quite easily, but my own are definitely tech-savvy enough to know I'm not manually defragging/similar, and on top of that DF-savvy enough to try to annoy me[1] with "killed any more dwarves lately?" as a general comment, although they'll sat that regardless of whatever is on my screen.)


But, really, I ought to increase my Adventure Mode play, to balance things.  I feel guilty that I'm not taking advantage of all the newly developed architectural stuff.  (But as yet I've still not gotten a full handle on the minecart stuff for Fortress Mode, either.)

But what with everything else I want to spend time on (and need to spend time on) what I really need to do now is increase the number of hours in a day to 48... no, make that 72.  I'll put that on the To Do list.


[1] My fault for actively asserting that I try to keep them alive, once.  They're people who expect you to be as abrasive a personality as they are.  I don't actually fit in with that philosophy, but at least I know enough to bear their little foibles.

Heh, I guess I spend most of my time on Forums Mode, too.

Fortress mode. Other than that, I spend my time trying to generate the perfect world I want to create.

Mostly Adventure mode.

I occasionally try a fortress, but then get sick of trying to micromanage all the little idiots and go back to exploring the huge worlds and finding new civilizations.

Forum mode. ;)

I play almost straight fortress mode when I do play, but I'm certainly here on the forums several times longer then the amount I spend actually playing the game.

Pretty much this.  I spend way more time here than actually playing the game, but I have only dabbled in adventure mode.  One adventurer who met bogeymen on her second night asleep.  I knew it would happen, but I was bored getting utterly lost out in the wilds, so I figured I'd see how long it took them to kill me.  Surprisingly long, it turned out.
