Who said "What does DF stand for?"

I am intrigued. When you sign up for the forum, you have to complete the sentence "Dw___ Fortress

I, too, play for a while every so often and then stop playing for a while. Sometimes I just feel like being dwarfy, other times I just don't.

I have not played in over a year. It just fell out of my interest. I keep swearing that I'll pick it back up one of these days but it hasn't happened yet.

Most likely some joker? Not everybody takes polls like this completely seriously.

But really, I've just gotten back to playing it again.

I used to play Dwarf Fortress pretty commonly, but I think around the time carts and the hauling update was introduced I lost touch with it. I'm sure a ton of stuff has changed since then, and I'll get back into it eventually when I have the motivation.

I tend to fire the game up each week or so. I'll play a lot more frequently just after releases - so I can see all the new features - but other than that I really can't get into the game like I used to. Which is sad, because it's really, really fun.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Am I the only one who can barely tell the difference between some updates with major but fixes?
Do I just not play enough to encounter things that get changed later?

I started playing back in the 2D days, then joined the forums and lurked for about two years, and then started posting in the upper boards and playing around with modding.

Then my previous forum haunt (HotU) died so I decided to check out the General Discussion area. I've been lodged here like a tumor ever since.

I first started playing Dwarf Fortress I think just after it moved to 3D as a magazine I bought at the time did an article on it and included a copy on the DVD.

I have played it pretty regularly since then, though leading up to the last big release I hadn't played it for a while, maybe about 6 months or a few more. Hurdles for playing again were the more complex military system (which I do understand now) and the minecart system for hauling stone (which I still don't use often but the extra time my dwarves take hauling stone doesn't bother me as much as all the carving of tracks and setting up of stockpiles and carts).

The recent release has led me to rethink my usual defence of walls and moats since goblins and trolls, as I found out in a rather tense siege, can now climb up and over walls. Adding roofs will solve that minor problem though.

Are there really people on this forum that have never played DF? O_o


I've been playing since the 2D version, whenever the urge hits. Usually when a new version or mod comes out or I get an idea for this !super awesome! fort that dies horribly within a few years.

I pick it up off and on, like most people apparently do.

I'm currently waiting for the army update because that might actually make me have some !FUN! instead of just sitting behind my drawbridge airlock all the time, engraving the entire fortress until I'm bored and just stop playing.

I also want more then 200 dwarves because I can fit all those bearded bastard's homes, work, food and booze on one level, and I want an actual reason to build multi-story forts beyond "it looks pretty"

I learned about it back in 2D, but I never actually played for myself until 3D's release.  I've been playing it off and on ever since; right now I'm on an uptick in activity, for instance, which will probably last a month or so given past trends.  Mostly, I've been goofing around with the new marriage and personality mechanics.
