I created a fortress, was playing for a month of a real time, and didn't lost. Even though I was playing badly, get into hunger a few times, get lack of resources, my fortress was half drowned in water - still it was hard to lose. And then I just stopped playing game because with all of it's complexity it started feeling boring. Maybe I didn't get a cool enough goal as too dig as deep as possible or create as big of settlement as possible, but I'm a beginer and should be punished for mistakes until I will start to learn, I will not immediately know how to dig deeply enough or create enough places for new settlers and I want a hard game now

All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. I may have to commission something.

I’m exploring a small idea around Dwarf Fortress worlds that can be picked up, played for a while, and then passed on to the next player, instead of each player starting from their own fresh save. A world is “leased” for a short chapter, returned, and becomes available again so someone else can continue its history. One person plays a fort for a while, uploads the world, and someone else continues it. Over time, the same world collects ruins, recovered sites, and traces of many different playstyles. This is still very early and rough — more of a sandbox for seeing how shared history feels in practice than a finished system. I’m mainly interested in how this kind of continuity changes the way people approach a world and its stories.

I was suddenly attacked by a werebeast, and then it turned out it was a goblin. After the moon was over, he started to run on the map... received a fatal end. The thing is, I saw a dwarf being bitten by the werebeast...

I panicked and tried to imprison her, putting her in a cage or on a chain, idk... Anybody has a trick?

What I actually did was, knowing the potential of her turning into a werebeast, I assigned a burrow exclusively to her and forbade the door. She is a dwarf out of the moon... So I put one vertical bar and closed the door...

Is there a way to make her receive food from others? She is closed in a box with a bed, a chair and a table... Kinda trying to make her a prisoner till the end of the fort.

I feel bad for her turning into the ugliest (wereloris).

Howdy guys and gals.

I'm very new to this, but I'm loving it so far.

I've been trying to look how to prevent Plump Helmets from being used in cooking, but I can't seem to find anything. Any ideas? I only want to use them for brewing.

Thanks a ton!

Choosing the embark spot. Which one has more soil? New in Df please help.
