Yeah, I've been playing it recently. I also uploaded my 1-year-old fortress to the map archive. See it here.

So yeah, who else plays Dwarf Fortress? Mind posting your maps/movies/stories/whatever?

Dwarf Fortress, eh.

Anyways, that fort seems quite nice, though I have two questions. First, why don't I see anything planted in those farms. Second, where is that water coming from?

P.S. This is my nanofort.

My foodstocks are currently overflowing with food. I can't make enough barrels to hold it all. There was probably just nothing there at the time I took the picture.

Also, the water's coming from the brook. An unlimited amount of water can be absorbed by aquifers, which is what I did.

Also, nice fort. I should try a nano-fort sometime. Apparently they get great FPS.

Doing two forts currently. One is my Dragonhill fortress (http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-5378-dragonhill). The other is one for a Youtube tutorial. Just look up Lets Play Dwarf Fortress, and you'll find it .

They're both going pretty well, but my Obsidian Factory is starting to fail in Dragonhill... Gonna need to look at some examples.

I always seem to be annoyed with the micromanagment in this game sooner or later.

Especially related to the military and equipment.

I Play! Right now I don't know how to find them, and I currently have Seven Fortresses. I think they suck. After my 1st Region I started to create more, to explore, and to improve. Region Three is the most prosperous but now has a Goblin Siege. I think I'll fail that. There I need to know how to make a metal chain for a well, and how to hook up something to a windmill. Region 5 has a mountainous side with a brook and only Gray color and a green side with trees nd all. If I could get them up then it'd be nice.

I've had my fair share of Dorf Forts...mind you none of them lasted too long. I tried a few early ones while I was working out how to drive the game, and they all did pretty miserably. Finally I figured out some of the more basic mechanics like farming, irrigation, making rooms and whatnot. My fort grew reasonably, but never matched anything like what I had seen and read about online. I never had epic fountains of magma at which my blacksmithees could smelt and melt, and sadly I never had much of an attack occur past running into small woodland creatures stealing my turtle shell trinkets. Some might view this as a positive, but considering i was finally wrangled into trying the game by the epic Elephant War of Boatmurdered, I was a little disappointed. I had build defenses like a bottle neck with archer posts, and some nifty trap doors/ draw bridges. I would have loved to see if they worked :-/

I claim them all.

Apparently the next version will improve on this.

I'll probably pick this up again once the new version is released too. Hopefully won't be too long of a wait...

I'm actually holding off playing DF until the next major release since the small annoyances of DF is making it a pain to play it for me. There's micromanagement, and there's... annoying micromanagement.
