Hi, I've playing for a couple of weeks with DF, and I really like the new version. My brother has introduced the game to me.
I have a serious problem with the game, and that is the following:
The game is very dull after a period. There are no goals in the game, I have a feeling when my fortress is big enough, that I am playing in "sandbox" mode. Basically after the fort is big enough, you have lot of dwarves, and lot of stuff built, you cannot do anything. I dont see any point to continue that fortress. If I start a new game, I will end up like that again.
Its totally understandable, since this is an alpha version, the problem is that the development is very very slow. Perhaps when the military stuff will be added and other new stuff, it will be more fun to play after you have a big fortress...right now its just boring and dull. I fear that a real game concept change wont happen in the upcoming months, since this new version was in the works for almost a year. I am talking about the military stuff and the other planned features. Its a pain to wait so much time.
Take this new version for example. I really love it, but now my fortress is big already, Ive built what can be built in the new version, now I dont know that what should I do. I had some invaders, and easily destroyed them all. (Marksdwarves are still insane powerful
}
Please dont take my words as it was rant or whining, I am just only sharing my feelings about the game. I know that there will be a point to continue playing when you have everything in your fortress, but its probably many months or even years? away.
Anyone can give me some advice that what should I do when I have a very powerful fortress already? What are you doing when you have everything what is possible in the newest version? I've already built 2 fortresses in 2 very different biomes, and both of them are huge already.
