I'd be willing to try this, although I've only recently gotten into the game. I'm not even sure how to measure a year in game time.

Hey everyone

I'm kinda new to TL but I've been an avid fan of Dwarf Fortress for a loooong time now, and I've never really stopped playing it for any long duration either.

I'm posting here, wondering if some TLers would be interested in playing a Fortress Mode together :
what I mean is, and this was very popular on the French Wiki I used to visit, someone plays for a year, then sends the save file to the next guy, who plays another year, and then passes to the next, etc... Each transition should be accompanied by a brief description of the events that took place, what you tried to add to the Fortress, etc.. It's pretty fun

Anyone feel like giving it a shot? :p

Step 1) Download game for first time
Step 2) Get everything set up for hopefully a decent first try
Step 3) Load my starting Area
Step 4) Have some sort of horrible cave collapse on map load that kills my starting dwarves
Step 5) Abandon fortress in less than 2 seconds

Dear god, what kind of game is this.

Yeah I really recommend that style of tileset as well. Having your text all garbled is annoying and it doesn't take long to learn the different icons.




That sounds like a perfect start/introduction to DF.

I've been waiting a long time to get back in DF, but I still just feel so burnt out after making a really intricate 8 year old fortress where the entire fortress was built with a series of bridges and small buildings built on stilts over an underwater lake. The mood just hasn't struck me again, which is disappointing because I haven't played the new version at all with all the underground improvements.

I starved a dwarf and it came back (as a friendly undead peasant...). To avoid crossing various streams, animated corpses now keep track of the historical figure that was the source of the raised body, even though the historical figure's soul is detached from it (and available for ghostage). So relatives can still be properly horrified by a raised body without it actually being the person in question, and they might be haunted at the same time, oddly enough, provided that evil region animation continues to have nothing to do with the soul stuff. This'll also let it animate multiple severed body parts separately, though it'll also need to understand not having a central body part before that'll work. It would be cool to have arms crawling around though.
