I think Dk is more similar if I had to make a choice but my hopes are that it's closest to "A game of Dwarves" : )

Watched both Yogscast vids and the game looks pretty cool, and seems there is a big world map which to explore/conquer?

There is a world map indeed. : )

Posting to watch. This game looks absolutely fantastic.

My initial thoughts.
(*)Needs new name: Everyone's going to call it GoD and that's just going be annoying.
(*)The thought of it is freaking awesome, I love me some sandbox game.
(*)It's going to be a kiddy mushy little game, "aww move the dwarf here & there, aww poke that baddy w/ your pokey-stick." It's just not going to have the depth I want in a game.
(*)Graphics and animations are superb.
(*)Seems straight forward, once you've "beat the game" what then? Buy the expansion pack so the developers can make more money. Yogscast video only showed about 5 levels.

Of course this is just initial thoughts. There is not enough trailer or detailed information for me to really understand the full extent of the game.

Nomet, if you are looking for any testers I have plenty of free time on my hands and willing to help in any way possible. ^_^

Have you considered releasing the game in stages kind of like what Minecraft did? You get a lot of testers and early funding for the game.

It's not really up to us but paradox who is the publisher of the game. I would really much like to do it this way. I will post here when we go into beta testing : )

Some people try pot and don't like it, some stick with it, some move on to crack, crank, or junk despite them not having the ease-of-use and ready availability that pot has.  I'm sure you can follow the analogy.

Point I'm making is, there is and will continue to be a place for DF.

Mmmmm crack. I mean... Yup! I watched the video of the guy who developed the game, and he understood the game will never have the depth of DF, which is understandable, Toady spent years & years developing this game. I learned more from that video though.

(*)There are some random things, like where enemies spawn which is cool.
(*)Battles and fights are not big events, no notifications or zooming. Your miner is initially in danger because they discover enemies, but then warrior dwarfs are smart enough to attack on their own even if not in line-of-sight.
