Dwarf Fortress
« on: March 07, 2009, 05:17:56 PM »
Just missed a link about the greatest game there is. (ok ok not the greatest grapics, and well if you get teh vanilla version from the site no graphics even)

yet it is the best sandbox/city building/storytelling game there is.

DF just rules.

a few links that can be handy when playing DF:
DF itself
DF Wiki
DF tilesets
LORD HELMET:  I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's
former roommate.

LONE STARR:  What's that make us?

LORD HELMET:  Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are
about to become. Prepare to die.

*Hides from another DF thread.  That makes 4 forums I use with DF threads ongoing.


I may give this a fresh look though - after you mentioned a mod that changes it from ascii?

started playing this last week when someone mentioned it in EVE. dunno yet though...
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Yea, the tileset give you like EGA graphics or something so instead of a smilyface in a certain colour you will see a dwarf :D

So that actually makes it easier to play. although i must say, once you get used to the ascii things it well kinda sticks.. but like i said the tilesets link give you actually dwarfs. game is the same only when a new version is released the till sets will be released a bit later as they usually need to be adapted.

and most tilesets offer a complete download, so you don't have to download it from bay12 1st.

anyway if you really want grapichs, check the tile sets :D
