Haha, why did they showcase such a terrible fortress setup

[Toady One]

Cool!

A build a week wasn't far off before this latest revision...  hopefully this wait will be very unusual.  And I don't think the efficiency of the screenshot is all that important -- new people brought into the game are gonna have bigger problems than that, like figuring out how to play at all.  The only thing that bugged me was craning my neck to see the world map right side up, he he he.

And yeah, that sweaty picture in the orange shirt is me.  That was when I went over to the math department here for the first time, and it was like 100 degrees out, and I had walked an hour to get there.

You already knew about this, so no need to act surprised  :p

What kind of monitor setup do you have that requires you to crane your neck to see the world map?

Have a closer look at the map on the article.

If you mean the fact that it is turned Pi/2 counterclockwise then:
1) That would be tilting your head, not craning your neck

Who won that game?  

[kein]

Thats really odd.

I just sent Jeff Green the editor-in-chief an email last week telling him to check out Dwarf Fortress. Jeff acted as if he hadn't heard of it and was excited to pass it around the staff. Weird coincidence?

[axus]

Eek, I'm just glad Toady doesn't give us homework assignments.  Maybe there could be a math professor noble that teaches your dwarves basic mechanics and architecture skill

Been passing the article around to the heathens that say "WTF is THAT?!" and won't look further than the ASCII.

Next time, use my tileset! It makes any fortress look good   :roll:

[Gaulgath]

You're so vain herrb.  

[herrbdog]

It's one of my better qualities. (imagine what my worse ones are!!! lol)

[Shujaa]

That's really cool.

Disappointed that they didn't mention Adventure mode, or the way Fortress and Adventure mode tie together so beautifully.

[Xgamer4]

herrb's tileset ftw. The article could've probably used a small mention of the custom tilesets, though. Other then that, great read.

[Demon]

Woo!  I'm famous.

It just takes too long to get any hang of it, and I haven't had time to play a single game in 6 months, so I probably couldn't beat anyone anymore. I did play a game or two every day some years ago.

There is a huge, vast amount of people playing go on the net. Strong people. Interesting people. Look up "kiseido" and come join us !
