New person, How does this stuff work?
« on: April 27, 2011, 03:46:23 pm »
Hello! I recently started playing dwarf fortress, and of course played lots of dwarf mode, and i wish to try adventure mode. When i start it's really weird. So i went to check youtube, but there's none with tilesets there. So I'll just ask you guys. How does adventure mode work? What is all this weird stuff? What am i supposed to do?

losing is still fun, except this time it's personal.

Check the controls with "?" and wander off to kill random animals until you get the hang of everything. It's more of a passive learning process than fortress mode, with less incredibly obscure mechanics.

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

Check the Wiki for detailed controls and such. Some of the stuff is a little outdated, but still very usefull. You don't need to worry about food for instance.

Actually I recently went through great pains to try to make everything on the wiki accurate with regard to adventure mode. Tell me if this helps:

P.S. You will die a lot. Horribly. Violently. Everyone does.  :D

This might be the only piece of information missing from the wiki at this point.
