Dwarf Fortress: The Soundtrack.
« on: April 16, 2011, 09:40:48 am »
If you had to choose a soundtrack for Dwarf Fortress (Discounting Toady's wonderful guitar playing.) what would you choose for certain sections of the game? You can just describe the mood of the music or send a link to a youtube video.

If you have to defend your fortress against impossible amounts of enemies using only a few squads of Dwarves, this should go on.

I usually play "This Is Why We Fight" by The Decemberists whenever I send my army off to repel a siege. Personally, I think the pacing of this song is just perfect for DF. It's not too fast like most battle-themed music, but it still has that 'Off to war' feel to it.

When 80% of your fans use 3 different external programs simultaneously to play your game comfortably, you might need to stand back and think "Maybe...Maybe I should get around making a UI designed to be used by carbon-based entities, like mammals".

Ye know, being an usurper overseer gone mad with power isn't too bad. It's honestly not that different from being a normal overseer.
