Video

This is like if you had adventure mode but restricted to one fort and your job was just killing threats as the fortress was built around you. That actually sounds like a fun game now that I think of it

7:29 and you just sabotaged your own challenge, ruining the video.

There's a more surefire, but a little more resource-intense way to build multi-story walls. Build a stairway as high up as you want, then build floors that span the length of the wall on each floor. It'll cost twice as much to build the walls, but it eliminates 100% of the micromanagement aspect. You can always deconstruct the floors afterward too.

I play dwarf fortress... Where am i gonna find 7 friends irl to name my dwarfs after?

I remember the cavern tavern

I suggest an alternative solution to the merchant question - not building a trade depot in the first place

This is why you don't give women weapons. Or a dwarf a sword.

How did you build those skinny cell walls? Are those just bars, or are you using a mod?

So close, but you really dropped the ball by not having all the laborers be enslaved elves. Doubke points if you make at least 50% of them elf children.

I love the line of sigh mechanics in this game. It looks so cool when the shadows are constantly radiating away from the player character like that.

Objection, hearsay

These necromancers espouse "write what you know" when they don't know shit except being an asshole and writing shitty books

I'm thinking about trying to tell dwarf fortress stories in an audio format. Do you have any tips?

Have you thought about doing a modded playthrough?

*"Against all the evil that Hell can conjure, all the wickedness that dwarfkind can produce, we will send unto them... only you. Rip and tear, until it is done"*

Currently running a metropolis fort, my goal right now is to get some holdings so that i can send the less specialized dwarves away and get some of my precious frames back

Idk, that mushroom wood is pretty fire

My first ever adventurer drowned in a lake within minutes of leaving town, so you did a lot better than me the first time.

I don't know why I got recommended it, but this video was a bit like seeing someones life story. I was hooked for some reason. I never even played Dwarf Fortress. I think I gonna give it a try! Thanks :)

Today, I stumbled upon something rather amusing... A naive child was amusingly playing beneath a bridge, only to have the bridge unexpectedly crush them! XD Later, I observed a dwarf who seemed to be in the depths of despair. Delving into his mind, I discovered he was haunted by the ghost of his deceased child. Taking matters into my own hands, I arranged for a memorial slab to be engraved in honor of his lost little one by his father, and then, in a twist of fate, I playfully caused the bridge to crush him too! LOL

I love that once they learn the secrets of life and death they just immediately chill...

people are out here suggesting all these ideas to make this challenge more feasible but in reality all you need is a windier hallway. the dwarf only died when they went up the stairs where they got swarmed - a longer hallway that splits up the invaders better would have easily solved the issue.

I love how brutal big fights are look at all those teeth, now imagine that in a game with 3d graphics bodies lying around with teeth and diembodied hands

Dastot the Destroyer

what is the beast climbing or flying over if the level above is covered by rock/floor?

I was thinking many times about naming my dwarfs with names of friends and family members to make more personal but you are the first CZcamsr who suggested this. I might give this a shot now😅

Man, I used to play DF around... 10, 11 years ago must be? My tactic was always: - 2 lucky dwarves in small pass-through barracks - set them to eternal training with wooden weapons, shields, and whatever armor I could scrounge up - in the meantime, dig a long snaking 2 tile wide corridor - dig two channels in the corridor, remove ramps, place draw bridges - one pit/bridge at thr very entrance to the surface, the other just outside the barracks on the fortress side - turtle up, wait two years. Gather resources, find cotton candy, forge weapons and armor. Whistle a bit. Make sure the soldiers are still training. - when a siege comes, let them in, make sure every enemy is in the long snake corridor - raise the surface-side bridge - take a moment to behold my two sweaty oiled up blue-clad deities - watch the goblins, trolls, beak dogs etc be ground into fine paste by the pain train Good times, always fun to watch. I tended to always have a mace dwarf with a lead or preferably gold/platinum mace, and the other was whatever was my mood for the current playthrough. Once I did it with two legendary wrestlers, that was maybe less effective but somehow more metal with the two of them just manually dismantling the whole siege force limb by limb.

Brings to mind: "One riot, one Ranger."

Heavily armoured like an Ironbreaker with combat skills and experience akin to those of a Longbeard. This pint size terminator was a death dealer among the dark and narrow corridors of the once mighty fortress. I am on a tangent here but I have always thought that the Dwarfs are extremely deadly in underground tunnel combat due to spacial restriction. The giant cave battles shown in Warhammer wouldn't make much sense because they were too spacious and didn't go well with the dwarf "blockage" tactics or the Skaven's ambushes.

Great video. Very happy for Mistem MamotDodok getting some pretty sick armor.

I've been wondering if I make the minerals generation sparse on my world, does that prevent my world to enter on a goblin era? Since they will have little to not access to good metals

4:45 do you mean two decades?

hoodie hair(nd) take me by the handdd lead me to the landdd that you understanddd (Squim Banger)

Very fun project

DFhack makes them build logically

One dwarf in the right place can make all the difference in the world

So I’ve been testing out the combat before I do an actual playthrough. I don’t understand why NPCs don’t flee when the player eliminates one directly next to them. Or why they’re willing to strike up a conversation with the dude that just murderer their spouse. Really hope there are more improvements in this area.

Please install dfhack it has builtin tools for most of the vanilla annoyances like construction and they are automatic

You're going to love the tombs

Lovely video! might start playing this game again

Will you revisit more of your old forts?

[2:00] when you build a fort like that I get the feeling your about to flood ot with something eventually

[5:00] Oh ya we don't go down there the ghost seems pretty pissed

I've also struggled a lot to get into adventure mode in the past. I might check it out now. Thanks for showing it off!

Awesome DF content!

ooooh i've been waiting for this!
