It's Warhammer.

So, fantasy.

Hey, if he can make a concise guide, more power too him.  Why keep a brotha down?

I still don't like the idea of rampaging across the internet labelling everything all DF-ish.   DF is awesome without people rushing random websites about it.

Dwarf Fortress isn't on TV, and doesn't fall into any TV Tropes.   Why should we 'spread' DF where it doesn't belong?

DF General Discussion / Re: Newgrounds dot com thread
« on: January 18, 2008, 06:17:00 pm »
Yeah.   Newgrounds is all about watching stick figures murder each other gruesomely, which is waaaaaay different than DF.    :p

But:  I've seen their forums, they barely type any language, and I doubt they would ever be able to get their mom's credit card to donate to DF.   Go ahead and post a thread though, I don't think it'd add anything.   There was probably a thread back when DF was first made public- just like every other forum.

Adventure mode becoming an FPS would be the least making-sense thing ever.

DF General Discussion / Re: Making a new PC, whats the major bottlneck for DF?
« on: February 25, 2008, 10:39:00 pm »
Why do people think dual core is good for DF? I've constantly heard the opposite.  I merely stated if you happen to get dual core, you'd want to set it up on one core.  

I've got a 3.4ghz single core and have never had problems with DF's speed.

Processor is what I've been told.   If you have multiple cores, you want to give DF its own core to play with.

Er... You do realize that even in a 2d world it would still be hard to gauge distances with only one eye?
Also, as a character in that world you'll only be able to "properly" perceive one dimension instead of two if you have only one eye.

To explain, lets first examin our world an apply it to DF:
You are standing looking forward. The Forward-Backward axis will now be called the X axis. The Left-Right axis will now be called the Y axis. The Up-Down axis will noe be called the Z Axis.
Having one eye impares your ability to properly percieve depth, in this case the X axis, so the world is 2D for you, you only see the Y and Z axes.
Now let us assume you are standing in a 2 dimensional universe. Since DF is viewed from above that means that now you have:
Forward-Backward (or X), Left-Right (or Y), but no Up-Down (or Z).
If you have only one eye, you lose the ability to properly percieve axis X.
This leaves you seeing in only one dimension (or the Y axis).

So no, that isn't very good.

(I realize my explanation is a bit abstract and not entirely on the spot, but its a nice analogy that helps in understanding.)</STRONG>

I think puke was joking.   Anyways, DF is a 2D world that represents a 3D world, so none of this is worth arguing about.

I just wanna know why people who lose an eye apparently become super-warriors.   I won't believe it until I see it!

After you mine a certain amount of adamantine, it happens.

You're supposed to go there with an adventurer and check things out.
