PowerGoal13, ARTIFACT QUEST, (Future): You pledge to the human king that you will recover a lost artifact that is in the willful possession of a monster.

Ultimately I want to be an adventurer that travels the world learning mystic powers and collecting artifacts to piece together history. Or recover my own long lost items as an immortal wizard who was once very powerful but now weak with out my artifacts.

I really hope it drops tomorrow... still the 30th for me. 7:17 at time of writing this particular sentence.

The reason I hope it does drop is that my next two days are off and I plan on spending them in video games. Best possible scenario is spending two days straight adventuring around a freshly genned world.

I've spent the last week working out how to best play within personality and what skills I will use, how I will fight and when I will take a life. I mainly plan to wander the land in search of artifacts while hunting dangerous monsters. Caring not for fame or glory, nor even riches. I wish only to learn of the worlds past and from it gain power. Later in my adventurers life, Armok permitting, I will become obsessed with my own mortality. I will leave what ever life I had cobbled together behind in search of the secretes to life and death. I will then amass a powerful undead army of legendary warriors slain by my own hand and claim a site to retire in.

Future forts nearby that site will be extra !!FUN!!


If not I guess I'll just keep playing batman AO or planetside2

As the title suggests. With the upcoming DF2014 I figured you guys must be going as crazy as me. There is plenty to salivate over and be excited about. But what are you guys most excited to do considering a scope complete DF?

For example I can't wait until you can hunt down artifacts through a combination of asking around, finding books or other references as to artifact type, location, general history of the artifact. And then gathering an expedition to delve deep dungeons of long long ago, and asking around, reading books, maps, other sources of information, to gain an understanding of the dangers you may face in said dungeon. All for the great riches of trading that artifact, or for your adventurers personal collection. But what of great glory of bringing the artifact back to your home civ? Or the power it may bestow/curse upon you if magic granting artifacts are the way the magic system ends up going.

Personally I just find the ability to go through the game with an intention to learn about a history that actually took place in the game vastly interesting. I fell like it's going to have such a level of awe inspiring adventures, of heroism and villainy. Of kind deeds and brutal assaults.

Some thing the next version will support is standing on the walls of a fort being over run by humans angry at you/your civ/some thing. So you lob over the head of their king whom has been mysteriously missing for some time now because of some covert actions you took the other day. The crowd has mixed reactions of horror, anger, and grief at the sight of their fallen king. Or better yet, in fort mode you could really leave the remains of the fools tying to siege you as warnings or reminders of the horrors your forts FB deadly blood cannon.

Time to forge new histories Dwarves! What are you going to do?
Dwarf Fortress is like reading a book about your adventures as you write them.

Only recently?

I've been checking daily for the past year and a half, all the hile saying to my self "soon, soon" when I knew it wasn't going to be until now, some what...

Now I check every 5 minutes. and lurk these forums trying to find new threads that don't exist.

And when I run across a phrase that some what traverses on next update features I quickly check the main page for the new version.


Most anticipated game of 2014 easily.

My current adventurer, onec saarthuril, has just defeated a vampire with over 2k kills in single combat and earned the title, honestdanks the west ripper. I am lord of the greens!
