  1. It's funny cause that video doesn't even begin to explain to you how insanely intricate/complex this game can actually be; be it in the stories it creates or just in the insane gamemechanics themselves.

  2. One time (in an older version) I embarked in a mix of desert, badlands, and mountains, so wood was a precious commodity and the only trees that grew on the map were saguaro cacti. Since beds can only be made from wood I wasn't able to provide individual bedrooms to all my dwarfs, so they slept in the same communal dorms and ate in the same shared dining hall, socializing with one another and forming many, many friendships. After several years had passed, one of the seven dwarfs who founded the fort was possessed and took over a workshop and started demanding various materials to craft an artifact, and one of the things he wanted were shells. Being in the desert with no water, we couldn't get any shells to him in time. He went insane, stripped off all his clothes, and wandered the fort aimlessly until he died of dehydration. This made his dozens of friends very depressed, and to make themselves feel better they started getting into brawls and breaking other dwarfs' things, making THOSE dwarfs and THEIR friends very upset, perpetuating the cycle until nearly the whole fort was rioting. Since you can't directly control your dwarfs, and using the military to put down rioters would only make more dwarfs upset, there was basically no coming back from this, So I sealed the entrance to the fort and let the battle royale play out until the few sane dwarfs trapped outside could reclaim their home. This struggle went on for about a year, and I went from a population of ~130 to 20, most of which were children playing make believe in piles of the rotting corpses of their friends and families.

  3. It's a more evolved game then Rimworld or Prison Arch so you might not get the randomness of the crazy and that just makes me want to play it more. We all made a death room in Prison Arch where 20 men enter one BA leaves or you're playing Rimworld and your camp starts eating people. To to manage a city like this ands pretty much play god with your creations having free will and see that much of a story with each one would make stop and read flavor text in a game for once.

  4. Asmongold is awesome, no hate no issues. I just wanna know why people enjoy watching him (or anyone else) watch something else, and essentially just look confused and make comments about 'said' confusion. Or you know when it's not always confusion… maybe excitement… same question, why?

  5. if streamers want something with infinite content potential this is the game you play. Its actually fking amazing and hilarious dude the things that can happen are great. from full on wars between races to civil wars. it gets nutty

  6. Just a fun and not so fun fact maybe not in that order. Dwarf fortress was free before it was on steam and it's so legendary that the devs could live on donations from the people who loved the game. It only was on steam to help pay for one of the dev's cancer treatment. The fact that it is a 2 man dev team makes it even more insane.

    Game came out in 2002 which was windows xp era and 2 years before WOW.

  7. I tried Dwarf Fortress and it was fun, but I prefer Rimworld. It's very similar to Dwarf Fortress in its gameplay but it's a lot more accessible than even the new steam update, and the mods on the steam workshop add an insane level of customization to the game. It starts off as a sci-fi colony simulator on a planet where the wildlife and some raiders try to kill you, but in one game I had it modded to swap all the factions to WoW races, removed the modern and futuristic technology, and added magic to the game instead. And that's just the tip of the mod iceberg.

    You can turn it into basically whatever scenario you want, playing as dragon people who eat rare metals to grow in power, a race of subterranean insect people who open portals to raid enemy settlements, a lone mad scientist who creates robots to do his work and defend him from invaders, or you can even build a ship and leave the fucking planet, flying around in space and dealing with the stuff you find out there.

    These kind of games are incredible, and the slower paced story focused gameplay makes them great to play while just chilling out watching videos or listening to a podcast or something.

  8. My attempts to domesticate the unicorn has let to 2 dead children, a cat, and a war dog. My dwarves have given the killer unicorns names and still attempt the long domestication process, this time with more dedicated trainers and a new bigger wall

  9. Once I had a fortress with only 3 dwarfs on guard, they fought with steel spears and trained in a log cabin on the surface. Then one day an Ettin came to the fort picking fight with apple pickers. It was rushed down by a single spear dwarf on duty who's first attack was a Gelding Blow! She literally stabbed the nuts off that giant which fell over in a pool of its own vomit at it was stabbed to dead in both of it's heads

  10. God only knows how many thousands of hours I've sperged into DF. My biggest problem was that I finally arrived at my 'optimal' copy+paste fort design and it would die FPS death even before I breached the first catacombs. Not even due to a catpocalypse. I still don't know why my relatively high-end system couldn't keep 70 dwarves moving at a respectable speed. I had a magma garbage chute and also a draw-bridge garbage annihilator. I used the smallest world sizes with the shortest histories. My embark locations were the smallest they could be. Nothing helped, or at least not for long.

    Maybe I'll dabble in the steam version. Just socially play it. I won't get addicted, pfff who me? No, I couldn't get addicted because I have so many important things to do irl. I'll just throw up a few underground towers, some drawbridges, a forge or two, a trader labyrinth…

  11. Dude i had a fortress and my dwarfs were not happy and then my squad killed some Hydras and all my dwarfs went to my tavern to celebrate and some kickass song started, i grabed my beer and started dancing with them

  12. Some of the absolute funniest stories come from Dwarf Fortess. Like one time a female war dog went out and mauled enemies and gave birth mid battle and then the baby started mauling enemies, then it stood on top of the corpses admiring its work.

  13. man i remembered my friend malding in this game when a dwarf accidentally hit a water vein and flooded the entire place that most of them left to another kingdom oh and most of those who left could fight so when they got raided by the goblins most of those who stayed died except the one who owns a dog who singlehandedly defeated the rest of the goblins. It was hilarious.

  14. Be cool to see asmon play some variety of games like this, I know he cares a lot about if the content is good or not as he has said it numerous times but not all of us are here just for pure "content". Playing a game your not familiar with that some of your viewrs are is content within itself. I've never played dwarf fortress before but I would watch asmon play it and then maybe even buy It myself from there. Also be cool to see some story games and I know he's said before he won't like really play story games because the "content" wouldn't be good BUT be cool to see him play a choice matters games or something that would make a good streams

  15. Dwarf Fortress is insane, but not only in its depth of detail.

    The first time i ventured into an Evil biome (with zombies and such), my entire fort of 24 dwarfs got destroyed by… a reanimated yak hair.

    Yes, a single strand of hair killed my fort, this was in an older version where tiny objects were, when reanimated, near impossible to hit. This yak hair strangled my dwarves to death, usually by the nack, other times from INSIDE.
    It was a nightmare, i could only watch and pray someone might hit it, i tried to seal a portion of my fort off to save the surviviors and children, but the single dwarf doing the walling picked the rock from the very back of my fort for this job and the yak hair destroyed all, with him as the last victim before my fort was declared a failure.

    I still curse this yak hair to this day.
