And my lever didnt raise the drawbridge... well well the motto of the game is "loosing is fun" right? So can anyone recomend a site for Dwarf Fortress stories? I would highly recommend the saga of Roomcarnage. Zombie_Giant_Sponge has been telling this particularly riveting tale for the last few weeks, and it's been an amazing experience. In one word: terrifying haunted volcano glacier e: links help | ||

I don't know if anyone has done a really good writeup of such a fortress. Most of the famous stories are stories of epic failures, or singular events like deadly sieges you barely survive, simply because they make for the best stories. In DF, losing is fun, and it's how you move on to the next site and the next game. | ||

I'm looking for someone that basically "beats" the game as in does pretty much everything, has a huge empire, etc. Mostly because I'd like to see if it's possible or if the game always wins no matter what. Closest you can get to "beating" the game would to get the Monarch to join your mountain home, but there really is no... winning. https://www.youtube.com/user/captnduck https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRk1mDDoAbXA0ysZ5Wz72Ig Might be your best bets. SilverDragonLord has pretty strong Let's plays of Masterwork, captain duck does more tutorial-y things tho. e: I knew I missed someone. This guy here also ends up dealing with more advanced/endgame stuff pretty regularly. No clue whether he did new stuff since this series here tho. | ||

after that it's all about maintaining happiness, which is pretty possible after you've learned all the myriad ways to get pissed off dwarves | ||

The story is still very much in progress, and I go back and edit things periodically as well as tweak the template. It's still early in the game so it won't be of much interest yet, but if it turns out that I get some good stories to tell from its rise and fall, I intend to post it. I want to finish this fortress (and the write-up) before moving on to DF2014. | ||

My fortress always ends up being a cramped mess haphazardly expanded in random directions. edit: not to mention the scenery +1 to this! It seems like the only way this is possible is to plan for it very early on, and at that stage I just dig randomly lol Aylear, did you upload your fort to http://mkv25.net/dfma/? | ||

No, I haven't uploaded it. I didn't even remember that this site exists. My fortress is on an old version now anyway, so it's unlikely that anyone will care. I'll just leave it in picture form for the time being. =) | ||
