I'm getting a lack of taste now on these strategy games... supreme commander is good but lack more units and buildings, also the storyline is not very long. Now I've been playing Civilization IV, and try out some mods but my computer starts to lag and I got very bored after renaissance. Stronghold 2 is quite challanging due to the lack of more spaces and consumption of goods, and also the siege sucks ass, and the storyline sucks ass as well, deleted it off my computer. I feel that today's strategy games are now becoming more blank and lacky... I wish Dwarf fortress changes that around now.
I been playing Dwarf Fortress for a while, and I'm getting the same feeling, I been creating new worlds and building the same fortress and building it symetrically over and over, and I gotten bored after a while when I'm not getting a good immagrant and trade caravans. Not only that but I got bored of the repetitiveness... build 30 doors, put them there, build 30 beds, cabinets, and whatnots.. over and over when making rooms for my dwarfs and future dwarfs... I can only defend in this game and not attack, I can't migrate over to another place in the map and control at least 3 places, and I can't make my own caravan to send to the people I discovered.
I know this game is kinda new, but the lack of updates make this game seems boring to me, along with my taste of strategy games is nearly depleted when more games that don't got a lot of content to keep me busy and have fun more. I want Dwarf Fortress to change that, so that I don't have to go to game to game to find out which game that does not lag on me and got lots of content to satify me. Lots of features that allow me to do multiple things and not to turn out more like work then entertainment.
