I seek exemplary dwarven specimens willing to wander off from the comforts of the
Mountainhomes into the great unknown to be all dwarfy like someplace else!

It'll be !!fun!!, I promise!

Signed.

Maybe I will have a tantrum and do something stupid.

As long as I get to beat up an Eldritch monster whilst on fire then I'm all for it.

I might choose you for my special project.

I wish there was Dwarf Fortress with 3d graphics/physics/geological simulation.

Dowly · 01-17-15, 11:32 AM

There must be a lot of elves on these boards.

@Ikalugin: Yeah, it would be nice, but it would be a lot of work to achieve.

If you need someone for the direct or indirect slaughter of said elves then I shall sign up, indeed.

Drewcifer · 01-17-15, 09:36 PM

Count me in Dowly!

ikalugin · 01-17-15, 10:14 PM

Well then what is the best dwarf fortress game around?

I am not sure what you mean. There is only one DF game.

Though, the playerbase is split between the various version, some like the older
40d and 34.xx version, I'm using the latest 40.xx.

If you mean the genre, then there is Gnomoria, which is basically DF, but with fancier graphics and less features.
Haven't tried it in ages, so I have no idea at which stage it is these days.

Well the only hurdle I have when considering playing the vanilla DF is its lack of graphics. Hence I would like to know if there is a version with a graphical interface.

Ah, well the Starter Pack comes with a couple of tilesets that change the ASCII graphics to actual 16x16 graphics.

Any way to.... Make them actually 3d? Or is it a heresy?
