How far in did you get?
Do you want to pass it on to someone else?

I think Stonesense shots are AWESOME!
Does it still have a 'Fullscreen" feature? Or is there a max size to pictures?

Awesome stuff Reudh!
Soo nice to see those pretty screen shots
Yeah, If I had it to do over again I would have done the full story for B'Hrian Bloodax.. I figured his "Story" would come out through engravings and other things, but ah well

That is a seriously kick ass break down you have!!!
I could see a "Primitive" version of DF Being released in the early 90's something WAY Smaller then the original release. Something to get people interested and talking about it. And by the late 90's build up to the point where you do the first release and you could begin upgrading from there.

Well the first release was back in 2006. Given the computers of the time. How much further back could you go before it would become unplayable?

Many of us have heard the comments regarding the original 2D version of Dwarf Fortress..
"It looks so PRIMITIVE!! It looks like this game was made in the 80's!!!"
Well…Could it?
Leaving out the more advanced versions of DF…
The OLD old school version.. How far back could you have made it work?
Given the processing needed, space, size, Megabytes and all that… Could you have made it for a computer from the 80's? 90's? etc?

Ok good to know.
Hope you do not have to redo too much/
Let me know how noticeable some of my changes are, hopefully I've been able to improve efficiency quite a bit.
Oh and let me know if you use the TREASURE room for enchanting any masterworks.

Oj just a quick question...
For those that downloaded my save.. Did it load ok? I wasn't sure it compressed correctly, and want to make sure it wasn't corrupted or something.

Lets be honest, we have ALL been through this..
It seems like every few months you will read an article along the lines of...
"If you liked Dwarf Fortress, you will LOVE this game!"
or
"This game! It's like Blank, meets Dwarf Fortress!"
And usually to say they are Underwhelming is an Over statement...
The other day my brother, who knows i am a Dwarf Fortress fantastic comes at me with Castle Story!
A game he SWEARS is JUST like Dwarf Fortress!
"Look, you control lots of little guys, and they BUILD things! And you have to defend your castle against monsters! It's TOTALLY like Dwarf Fortress!!"
SO... How often do the rest of you have to deal with this?

Not much happened, which was rather lucky...
There was one ambush, which was easily dealt with, and some elves came that we bought Vast amounts of clothing from and some Giant animals.
For the most part I was able to use the time Organize and Overhaul the Fortress as much as possible, and BOY did it need it!
Right now the biggest concerns are Clothing people, the dwarves seem to burn through a loT of clothing, and no matter how many pigtails I plant, there never seems to be enough thread.
Another problem is general unhappiness, mostly caused it seems from Militia not having enough breaks in their training schedule,
Another HUGE problem is that the Baron is throwing a tantrum every five minutes because SOMEONE has a bedroom better than his! I Can't figure out WHO it is, but its REALLY pissing the baron off!!!
Food stocks is ok, but we are running low on meat and there REALLY does not seem to be much in the way of livestock. We have TONS of bunnies, which give no meat, and Puppies, which are mostly used for war dogs. So anyone that sees Cows and such PLEASE buy them!
Another reason we need Animals? SOAP!!!
Soap production is basically running on fumes, and without a steady supply of Fat we are going to run out VERY quickly.
Don't know what can be done about that, but something needs to.
In terms of projects? Well there is the pump stack idea of a Water fall over the entrance.
that is a VERY complicated plan.. Not only do you have to have the water being pumped up from an infinite source, you will have to power it.. Hand pumping from Dwarves is not an option.
Also you will need an effect draining system to prevent HUGE amounts of crud and filth piling up from the Dwarves as it is washed off.
Oh, I am not sure but there MIGHT be a sleep sickness thing going on, not sure, I haven;t seen anyone in bed recently, and I am worried they have some sickness preventing them from sleeping?

(COUGHS)
Um.. so yeah...
kind of forgot about this...
I REALLY Recommend using this Upload...
ok sure its Six <Months late./.. But I cleaned up a LOT of mess in the fort.
about to head out for now, again STRONGLY reckoned those here download it to take a look at the changes I made.
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8336
Changes to Fortress:
A PROPER outer wall: A single One block big high wall to defend the first GREAT Dwarf City? I think not.
Consolidated workshops... I swear these where littered around helter skelter with equally random stock piles.
Begin laying out an underground City. Or at least trying to. Started construction of a "Halls Of Justice" with jails and courtroom as well as PROPER Crypts for the whole population, not just a few tons for the nobles.
Extended cave housing. I like the idea of windy testing houses built into the cave ceiling, trying to make lots of these in the central city.
Re organized supply chains and constructions. Basically Repurposed the stock rooms and specialized, its a bit daunting having GINAT stockpiles with everything all mixed together.
Added a Treasure room. Basically a Room where all the stockpiles are set to "MASTERWORK" only... Anytime someone makes a MASTERPIECE, it ends up there. Inside is a forge, crafts shop and a gem workshop. Basically send a Legendary artist in and lock the door, and then he will decorate Masterwork items only.
Again, Sorry I almost let this thing Die, it was mine to start with.. have had a LOT of personal issues recently, and, well, it just didn't FEEL right to be playing the game until just recently... Really hope the Upload works.
