A nice article from RPS that compares and contrasts Impire and A Game of Dwarves.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/08/24/managing-expectations-impire-and-a-game-of-dwarves/#more-121468

Worth the read IMO, as it really informs you that they are two different games going for two different themes. One, creative and aesthetic, designed for builders, designers and sandboxers. The other, a strategic game closer to campaign of DKII, where the focus is on building up monsters and minions and their abilities, instead of building the "ideal" dungeon.

On topic......yup certain to be a bit bland as well as simple and short, but it's a DF inspired game and I continue to support all such endeavors as well as Toady.

So it's available from Gamersgate(Go Alex!) and Steam for $9.99. I guess at that price we should keep our expectations very low.

        Processor:Dual Core 2.4 GHz processor
        Memory:4 GB RAM
        Graphics:Shader Model 4.0 compatible card (minimum Nvidia GeForce 8000, AMD Radeon 2000)
        DirectX®:10
        Hard Drive:3 GB HD space
        Sound:DirectX compatible sound card
        Other Requirements:Broadband Internet connection
        Additional:3 button mouse, keyboard and speakers

    Recommended:

For me, I dont' really care if the game spans sev eral worlds, or has a bunch of crazy stuff.  The basic premise is setting up a colony of dwarves in an procedurely generated area, and making it successful and wealthy.   So long as the features that are in it work well together, I'd be more than happy to give it a thumbs up.

Here's for hopin'!
