Hey
« on: September 13, 2009, 08:36:04 am »

Hi, im new to DF, yay me.

in my first year, one dwarf tragically dead, pulled into a river and eaten by some fish things.

i just wanted to say, first off, keep going. this game is epic. I always say, gameplay over graphics, and this really is the ultimate test of this, took me ages to get used to ascii in the slightest.

but 3-D would be epic though :D

hope i get some migrants soon. hasnt even been a year yet though, so no suprises none have shown up to my glorified hovel

Welcome to the party!

We love answering questions, so if you've got any, please ask.
You should probably do so in Gameplay Questions or Dwarf Mode Discussion, though.

Hello there! Armok needs new blood, so we're happy to greet you!

Ask any questions in those forums ^, create your fortresses and destroy them at will.

Just don't make silly mandates for adamantine socks, because we've already constructed a shiny lever in your room ^_^.

why wasn't I ever greeted like this?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

Probably you didn't start a thread to show how awesome you are? :)

Ok.

It looks like the carp have already greeted you in their own manner.

...

Back to the subject at hand: Welcome to Dwarf Fortress, were Magma is is most valuable substance known, regardless of what any puny Dwarven Miners say about Adamantine. You will likely get migrants in the spring of your first year.

If you havn't done so already, read the wiki!

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...
It should be pretty fun though.
