it is a bit of a wall, but once you climb it. the game is so open.

http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Main_Page

a wiki for Dwarf Fortress with a tutorial for new guys. I used it quite a bit to learn the "interface".

All I can say is. Beware of anything that moves with more or less then 2 legs (Dogs, cats and cows excepted).

Carp.. so.. painful... drag my dwarfs to the water they did.

My last Fortress ended in an epic battle between Lava and Hippos.

Sure i died, but I beat the hippos. MUAHAHA. erm.

You think they'd learn to run :P

They should've run then :P lava was pouring in. The hippos had decided to swim into my underground water reserve, and were chomping away at my dwarfies. I was doomed DOOMED. so I opened my 'flood gate' of sorts, and cooked the place :P

Mmmmm HippoBurgers.

Awww, DwarfPatties.

And quality burgers take time, because we all know how slow lava moves :p
And pieces of obsidian stuck in the meat, deee-licious!

One dwarf burger please!

With or without the deep-fried beard?
And would you like Elf Fries with that?

Oh, I'm famishing.  I'd like everything on, including the crunchy elephant tusks!
Do the Elf come in onion rings?

Hmm...

*ponders, walking over to a nearby elf, measuring him, and doing a few mathmatical calculations*


Yes.

Also, anyone recomend any other Tilesets? and have any of your fooled around with the init file?

you pretty much gotta fool around with the init if you want to use character sets (custom graphics), and it's always nice to tweak stuff to your liking (like max dwarf pop you want or performance)

Pretty easy to read through and change things if you haven't tried it before.

Are you new to Dwarf Fortress?

Okay, for all of that information, I think it's only right if you give me that *points at elf* in a onion ring to go.

It was more of a 'me being curious' question. I use GuyBrush and the dwarf tileset of which name I cannot remember. Makes.. comprehension a tad easier, so i can keep track of my Uncooked-Patt.. "Dwarves".

As for the onion ring, *lowers it into the deep fryer*

Am I the only person here masochistic enough to stick with the default tileset? I like the little inane, happy grins on the dwarves. ;D
