New User New version
« on: November 01, 2007, 01:28:00 pm »

Hi all,

I found out about dwarf fortress about 14 days ago. DL and installed the game. Hard to find out how to do things but managed. Since getting married and getting children it hasnt been easy to find time to game. But this game has caught me.

The new version that came yesterday is a whole different game. Maybe i revert back to the previous build to get used to the game mechanics. The Z-factor i daunting.


I will follow the forums and play.

Welcome  :) I started playing DF about 4 days ago, takes awhile to get used to things but it's the best game I've seen in a long time.

I think it's an excellent idea to move back to the older version to get the hang of the little bastards before jumping into the new version.  I'd recommend it to all new players from now on in fact.

Sorry about the wiki for the new version being a work-in-progress at the moment :P
But we're getting there, so if you have trouble try checking it.
