I'm far more active on the DF related boards. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't see myself as the one true unquestionable and absolute ruler of the lower ones as well.

...the one true unquestionable and absolute ruler...

For one of those your subjects don't seem to abide to your will very much.

Sure they do. You see, it is my desire for every one of you to have free will, as it makes my existence far more interesting. And because my will is absolute, not even I can go against it, meaning I am(for the most part) only able to influence you, rather than control you directly. This ensures that each and every one of you are able to learn and grow, and therefore continue to surprise and entertain me.

Rest assured though, should I ever tire of it all, you, along with everyone and everything else in this realm of existence, would vanish instantaneously.

The funny thing is the things I would add to DF make it MORE complex (More races, underground civs with whole histories in worldgen, more kinds of stone/ore/metal - there are probably already enough gems).
We already do this, letting Toady work on the more intensive coding. See for example, the Dig Deeper GOLD mod or the Genesis mod in the modding board. Come next version, the modding community will go into overdrive with all the new 'tools' we get access to.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Uhmm...Can we just state that Minecraft and DF both have their own appeals and their own...gaming audience[/unbiased]

However in my opinion, Minecraft is easy to understand, is in a one-person perspective yet you do not get to enjoy the lore on what you mine or craft or kill. Most are repetitive and you have to pay for the game [not saying that it is bad though].

DF, it has geographic layers, world borders, fantasy-ish structuring and sociological factors, randomness, textual description in detail and here, even losing is fun!

I do like both games, each gives the chance to make your own world BUT I see that games that have depth to them and difficulty with every discovery attract lesser people for some reason. I do enjoy every house I carve in minecraft yet more so my fortress where my smilies of death hold the line against dash throwing g's, the mental focus on just text gives the edge, moreso that it is Three dimensional. Also, the mods work and feel like expansion packs, the forum [Bay12 in general] is filled with people who do not troll in obvious ways, who are less prone to whimsical nonsense [sorry  :-\ ], who are kind to newbies and help them in good and not-so-good-but-utterly-fun ways, and much more. It was the forum that drew my attention to the game itself, the writing of stories and how they built their legend. Also, Area of Effect effects, cave-ins changing the tide of battle. A horde of invaders stopped by a wooden door. People too afraid to cross a narrow tunnel to safety because it is wet [4/7 filled with water ramp?] and even equipping about fifty shields on your sword arm gives satisfying images to the gamer.


Uhh, Sorry. First time visiting General Discussion forum, new to this talk, got lost in discussion.

I never understood why one would want to build a topside house in MC  :-\

Much more efficient, and better-looking to dig a home into the mountainside.

I enjoy dug-in houses. Topside ones stay square though and I'm not good in architecture but dug-ins have a natural feel to them.

Or maybe it's just the whole dwarf-thing about them  :P

Minecraft, can't bring myself to play it anymore. Utter boredom.

Dwarf Fortress, can't bring myself to stop playing it. Utter fun.
