    Shout-outs to the updates that have come along to fortress mode as well. More soundtrack (and it’s so good) and so many little quality of life things.

    They’ll be going back to more regular updates to fortress mode now as well.

      From the kitfox interviews ive watched, most of what was added to adventure mode will be added to fortress mode.

      Love this game. Wish I had time to play it like I used to.

    I goofed around in Adventure Mode a decade ago and kept spawning new characters trying to find a necromancer’s tower filled with zombies, BUT with a magic book that makes you undead / immortal. Eventually I got it, which was cool, until I realized that as enemies hack at you you lose body parts. I think by the end I was like a single finger or something absurd?

      If you go with dwarf fortress get DFHack. It’s free on steam as well. You can automate some aspects of the game so you can learn one mechanic at a time instead of getting swarmed by everything all at once.

      Lots of good guides online to. Nookrium and Blind helped me understand what the hell was happening.

      i reckon qud is the smaller burden between the two. in terms of both how much you’ll need to learn, and how much of your life it will eat once you do.
