You WILL lose your fourth fortress, probably to an uninvited guest of some sort. You WILL lose your third fortress, probably to an excess of goblins (you've figured out food and booze by now). You WILL lose your second fortress, probably to a lack of booze or food, or an excess of goblins or water. You WILL lose your first fortress, probably to a lack of booze. For some reason the Toady One hasn't gotten around to making a usable UI for labor allocation yet, so Dwarf Therapist is really essential. legendarily skilled dwarves actually have their legendary skill turned on, and aren't doing stupid things like going outside to pick flowers. It also serves as a check to make sure e.g. your new immigrants have completely illogical labors turned on. The sole purpose of Dwarf Therapist is to give you an overview of what labors your dwarves have turned on, so you can quickly identify e.g.

It says it's only good up to 0.31.21 but if it encounters a version it doesn't know about, it tries to download a new memory layout file, which is currently working fine. It has a couple of rather crippling 0.31.19 bugs fixed (specifically, traps are no longer gimped to hell).

It seriously is exactly like the picture: there's this enormous terrifying cliff at the beginning, but once you've understood the initial "cluster" of concepts (how to do an embark that doesn't completely suck, how to dig, how to get reliable food and booze, how to defend against goblins) it's a pretty open game and there are only a couple of things after that point that will summarily slaughter your fortress, many of which are your own stupid fault anyway. That said - Once you get past the initial hurdle, Dwarf Fortress is a barrel of laughs. The bulldozer at the top pushing dead dwarves off the side is a perennial favorite, as are the spikes and things at the bottom where the other dwarf has apparently just thrown himself off. I recommend getting the Lazy Newb Pack, which contains a frontend to configure the game, the game itself, a bunch of tools (including Dwarf Therapist), and a few texture packs (including Ironhand).

Install a texture pack so you can more easily tell things apart.

There are of course a number of things you can do to remedy that: But it also feels rewarding to successfully deal with these threats. The list goes on, and that's what makes the game hard. Discovered a cavern? Make sure you block it off until you are ready to deal with any monsters in there. Goblins started a siege? Get your civilians to safety and get your military ready to take them on. A dwarf goes into a rage? Kill him before he kills everything else. Of course, the curve is exaggerated, but the reason it stays so high is because there are so many things which can go wrong if you don't keep a close eye on things. When you fail, you learn something new about how to manage this task. You have to keep all of your dwarves both happy and safe, and if you don't, you can get into some serious trouble. I'm a brand new player of this game, so I admit my knowledge of the later things are limited - keep that in mind when reading this answer.ĭwarf Fortress is a hard game, in that there are so many things you need to take care of, and if you don't, things can go horribly, horribly wrong.
