Dwarf Fortress vs any other game
« on: May 16, 2011, 03:16:17 pm »

I think I've seen a thread with that stuff, but failed to find it.

So, have you ever seen computer game called Myth: The Fallen lords? It's based on Glen Cook's Black Company novels, it's a real-time tactic, and it has dwarves. Dwarves there were really dwarfy. They fought with small explosive grenades and could plant landmines that detonate from near explosion. And the most dwarfy thing they can do is throw dozen of grenades at a single enemy, and then detonate whole own squad with it's pieces.

small video to illustrate

Did you know that the Russian word for "sock" is "no sock"?
I just saw a guy with two broken legs push a minecart with a corpse in it. Yeah.

I remember in HS I played Myth II so much.

It was such an awesome game.

I see to be at issue with comprehending the reason for the creation of "Dwarfs!?"
Seriously, how do you dig and somehow you gain a coin? THAT AIN'T REAL DWARVEN MINING.

However, now I wanted some more challenge and embarked to evil biome.

That one ice level where the game keeps sending you pigmen and your dwarves just keep slaughtering them. played that one over and over and over.
