Do dwarves in this game grow up over time?

Or will I just remain a usekess waste of space forever?

Yayyyyy dorf fort. Can I be the next miner or dwarf with some decent axe skills?

I want to be conscript to fight elephants. Or mine uranium so if you find pitchblende. Then pave his bedroom out of pitchblende so I can become radioactive dwarf superhero.

Also I'm betting a cookie that if I get a dwarf he'll be a metalcrafter.

Do those blue squares mean my bet was correct? Cuz that means someone owes me a cookie.

Those blue squares means that there was no metalcrafter, but I decided to make him one and name it after you anyway.


Despite not actually being able to craft metal yet, on account that I don't have a flipping anvil!
...So that means i don't get a cookie? :cry:

heh, just kiddin. Thats pretty cool actually thanks :D Hope you get an anvil soon cuz my dwarf's gonna make some freakin sweet stuff. You just wait and see.

The latter.



I mean, you will grow up eventually, but when you do you won't actually have skills in anything at all. You'll probably end up accomplishing nothing before getting in a fight with a horse and die, and then you'll still be taking up space in the graveyard!


Thanks a lot!

You are now a guy previously called Bomrek. You have absolutely no experience in anything other than conversation. You are, in every sense of the word: a hobo.




I also gave you a gun. Your new job is to shoot horses.

You'll be sure to keep us safe while training us, right?
Right?

I got dwarf fortress, and let me tell you, a good tile set really helps. It makes it easy to understand. I'm building my wonderful fortress now, it looks beautiful. Can't wait for it to get destroyed in a goblin raid!

I tried to play it and I don't even understand how the fuck it works because everything is tildes and letters.
Making such a complex game in ASCII is just retarded in 2010.
So it's retarded because you don't understand it?

and why is it a problem that it's ASCII? I think it's fantastic. The game wouldn't be nearly as fun if toady had have been worrying about graphics instead of putting all of his attention into the gameplay.

It's retarded because there are 39038290 different symbols for different things. It's not intuitive at all.

Now you'll probably go all elitist on me for not making the effort of learning what everything means and how to play it.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I have to agree with tabarnaco. There is way too many symbols for every thing and it's mother. It's nevt to impossible to know what you're doing on your own.

So it's retarded because somebody made a game in a way you don't like. Right.

Games aren't fun when you need a symbol guide in your lap.

The game isn't supposed to be intuitive. That isn't a failing. It doesn't hold your hand. That's good. Half the fun of the game is figuring out what everything is. It feels even more rewarding when you do.

and the symbols aren't a problem at all. You press L, and move the cursor over something. Then it tells you what it is. HURRR DURRR TOO DIFFICULT.
