Interesting.. Posting to watch.
If it is anything at least similar to Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius,
then I'd buy some time afrter it's release.

Warrior, Smith and Mage?

My guess is Warrior, Scholar, Miner.

Wood, stone, metal?

Is anyone worried that not only do dwarves seem to be getting exps to spend on skill ups (perhaps even on things that are unconnected to the things they needed to do to level up) but also that there only seems to be three skills?

It does seem a bit simplistic.

I'm worried that dwarves may be too expendable yet each individually require a lot of micromanagement.

The nice thing I liked about Evil Genius is that while minions were entirely expendable, replacing and training up the replacements was entirely automatic, meaning you didn't have to micromanage your minions. You just had to make sure you had the right stuff in your rooms, your defenses were solid, and spent most of your time plotting evil acts on the world map. If Guard #73 dies? You don't even care. Construction worker #74 will automatically move to the guard training room and will learn to become a guard.

Depends a bit on how much we're supposed to care about our dwarves. That's a great system if they're expendable, but a lousy one if they're not.

Jesus Christ, why do people keep acting like spoiled brats, stating that they don't like something and the reasons are theirs alone.

I can't tell what you are trying to say.

Are you saying that you don't like me saying I don't like something?

Are you saying you don't like that I am losing interest in this?

Are you saying you don't like that you don't understand the two above points despite the fact that I have made two posts bringing up concerns that have been in no way reassured?

If we start asking if it has DF feature x or y the snswer will likely be no. What we should be asking is we can do in GOD that DF doesnt cover. Forgetting DF mindset completely could be good too. Im interested how much replay value it has. Does it have missions? Free building?
