Sim City VS Dwarf Fortress
« on: May 13, 2011, 08:24:35 pm »

So, in the wake of Minecraft Vs. Dwarf Fortress discussions, someone gave me the idea to make a comparison of Sim City and DF.

You see, here's how I think this works:
Overseer: Welcome to the military! You need to wear socks! Dorf: Oh, I should get military socks. My socks are civilian socks. Dorf discards socks Dorf: You know, I need a whole lot of gear now. I should get socks... last. Oh, but these steel boots with the white goo on them are nice!

I don't think you should have taken them seriously.

Nevertheless, I'd say DF on personal preference.

I like Sim City and DF for different reasons. I REALLY like the economy management of certain Sim Whatever games. However, I like DF for many many other reasons, and I've definitely played it more :D So I'm voting DF.

When I saw this thread the first thing I thought was "Needs more Desert Bus VS Dwarf Fortress". I think I have a problem.

No, no, clearly, we should be having a discussion about Total War and Dwarf Fortress, especially the as-yet-incomplete Army Arcs and Kingdom Modes, which will clearly allow us to conquer the world piece-by-piece in the style of Total War.

We also need to have a Rollercoaster Tycoon versus Dwarf Fortress discussion, because Toady compared the tavern management system to that game.

Besides that, we should also have Capcom versus Dwarf Fortress, just for completeness.  (Of course, that might have to wait until special attacks and martial arts are in DF so that we can have combo moves.)

To be fair if were were going to Compare DF to strategy games, it would have to go against Europa Universalis 3 as well as Total war.

Since the addition of pastures and ghosts, we should have a Pac-Man vs Dwarf Fortress thread as well. I love this logic!

I'd kill for a new, actual Sim City game.  The last one released, SimCity Societies, wasn't even made by Maxis, and certainly wasn't a real Sim City.
