Yup DK light.

Falling asleep last night i got to thinking:
Is there ANY way GoD is better than DK2?
And the only thing i could come up with was z-levels, and even then ,the maps are so small x-y wise that a DK2 map feels bigger.

Played it for thirty minutes. Gave up when I realized you can't make constructed walls or floors look like stock ones whihch are built facing the dirt walls. What s the point of so much customization it if can't be employed properly to make things look uniform?

Yeah there are quite a few things that bother me.

First the pace.  It's slow.  Really slow.  There should be more dwarves at the start and more dwarves max when you upgrade.

Second is resources.  Other then food and wood, they can only be gathered by digging, which is fine.  Except for the fact that you run out, and it gets ridiculous.  There needs to be a way to get gold without digging for it.

Annoyingly small maps.

Some other things...

Just needs tweaking.

1. Plant trees
2. Collect wood
3.
4. Profit!

You can just grow a lot of trees in order to sell the logs to the kingdom. But it becomes boring after a while.

As mentioned before, you can also sell the stuff you find in caves.

edit: Cannot really call them caves, caverns maybe? Nah.. what CAN we call them?

One of the developers posted on the Steam forums saying this was one of the most frequent requests and that they are working on it.

I'm not sure the Z_levels are even a plus. Keeping everything on one level has it's charms.

I wish lower levels from the one you were looking at were darker to make it clearer what's going on. Some of my more hectic forts are turning into Escher drawings.

I thought they said they were looking into it, which isn't quiet the same.
It is nice to see the devs being so active on the steam forums and commenting on peoples suggestions though, gives me some hope this game will be salvaged

Even if you can construct floors and walls, you still run into the problem of extremely small maps.

I really enjoyed making my great dining hall in DF but in GoD you just don't have the space to do it, at least in the first few levels.

Not only that, but it is pretty pointless to make a great hall. Enemies and soldiers can teleport so defensive flow doesn't matter. No one has to haul goods so there is very little to consider during construction.

Basically your best bet in GoD is just to strip mine every other Z-Level.

Not sure when it happened but I currently have "wooden blocks" in game which you can place wall and floor decorations on.

Man... What's another game like dungeon keeper?  This isn't cutting it, sadly.  Maybe if it's patched a bit.

Yup, there was a large update today that added blocks to replace those "accidents" and appears to have also addressed some of the AI behaviors although I don't see a mention of that.

We work hard on improving the parts people have been complaining about : )

[hemmingjay]

I will certainly throw money at deserving GoD dlc. The level of support they are offering for a budget title is encouraging.

That's awesome.  Thanks guys.

One thing that would be nice is a way to specify melee or ranged dwarves at a flag.  That way I can have snipers on a balcony, hehehe.

Another thing is monster spawners... In the campaign it would have been cool to have monsters attack you constantly.  I miss that from Dungeon Keepers.

There are a few other things.

Sorry if I seem down about the game, its fun, but it's just missing a few things.  The core is all there though.  If it's patched up it would be awesome.

Definetly +1 to you guys for a super quick patch with a new feature (Wooden Blocks).  Looking forward to more development (And DLC's)

No Win XP support? No way.
