DF Suggestions / 100 topics per page
« on: June 25, 2016, 03:23:11 pm »
With so many topics every day it would make much more sense to have about 100 topics per page so they won't disappear as quickly.

DF General Discussion / Re: Are default graphics why DF can't gain popularit
« on: June 25, 2016, 03:13:42 pm »
While I wouldn't go as far, I too think ASCII are not good. A lot Steam greenlit games recently, a lot of them niche, not one ASCII IINM.

DF General Discussion / Re: I don't want magic
« on: June 25, 2016, 03:02:21 pm »... for Toady to make it balanced.
You can say a lot of good things about dwarf fortress, but it is not balanced.
I imagine that the final goal of a fantasy world simulation is a possibility to create various worlds - both those balanced ones and chaotic ones. Though for a longer play I'd prefer the first one, both can be fun.
I think the chaotic one will be more fun though.
I beg to disagree

DF General Discussion / Re: Skyrim Blackreach - This is what the Caverns look like
« on: June 25, 2016, 02:54:23 pm »Minor spoilers ahead.
Been playing Skyrim lately (of course) and just reached the part in the main storyline where you are sent to a Dwemer settlement - but not like we've seen before. this is the DEEP settlement, down in the bedrock of the world. And it made me giggle with glee, cuz it looks a lot like what I imagined the deep caverns are like in DF. Heck, a lot of my mental images of DF are somewhat based around Dwemer ruins, anyway, and this only helps. It's gorgeous!
Dwemer are pretty similar to dwarfs of DF. I like them to be more and more alike in the future

DF General Discussion / Re: What was your gateway to Dwarf Fortress?
« on: June 25, 2016, 10:26:32 am »
There was a review back in 2011 or 2012 which got me really hooked. I play it ever since.

DF General Discussion / Re: What are the differences between history generation and full simulation?

Has anything changed in this aspect in the last updates? Have battles become more realistic and immersive?

General Discussion / Minimal wage - should it exist?
« on: June 22, 2016, 03:59:09 am »
What do you think - should it exist or not?
Personally I am against it as it prevents employment of young people, and forces those redundant to be sacked as their employer cannot afford their work with already outrageous taxes that in EU cause more and more businessmen to close their small and medium companies. Some of my friends have lost their jobs like that, and it is not fair. They would have gladly worked for less but can't now.
If a person wants to work for less than a minimum wage, how on earth can anyone forbid them from doing so?

Are we going to be able to build and manage our own tavern in adv mode anytime soon? To be honest I've been waiting for this for years now and I feel that there is little missing - we can now build in adv mode and claim places for ourselves, but can't designate areas as taverns, brew drinks, prepare meals, serve customers or hire waitresses or entartainers. Please Toady, I've been waiting for years now.

DF Suggestions / Re: Inflation, supply and demand
« on: June 21, 2016, 08:14:34 am »
That's actually a good idea. It will be fun to see that you can't always sell the same things over and over - it is too easy now to trade. Merchants will always buy everything from you now, with that you will hvd to think. And it's absolutely necessary for the trader arc, so it's a good thing.
The inflation of gold - I like that too.
