It's a very very good idea, especially for those players who haven't yet gotten around to playing fortress mode. Then they can reap the rewards that only fortresses can bring! Start a succession game and people will join.

Isn't the current folder usually empty? I thought its main purpose was so game crashes wouldn't corrupt saves by being a temporary storage

Personally, I think Dwarf Fortress is as fitting of a title as any.

losing is still fun, except this time it's personal.

Check the controls with "?" and wander off to kill random animals until you get the hang of everything. It's more of a passive learning process than fortress mode, with less incredibly obscure mechanics.

A dwarven happy ending is when you make the place self sufficient, wall it off from the world, and run it in the background for 100 in game years, checking up only to reassign children to jobs of the dwarves dying from old age.

But where's the fun in that?

it's the 5th release in the caravan arc devlog I think.

The release that goes, "Make worldgen activities happen in regular play" is the release that will move all worldgen activities into normal time. So rulers will die and be replaced while you run your fort etc.

It's also the release that I am the most excited for, and it's just in the devlog.

Ooh, just replayed it and I've got to say that it's pretty fun. A way to check spell properties would be nice. Also, after eating an enemy's body part, I've noticed that my health went to 11/10. Dunno if that's a bug or not so I thought I would mention it.

The money being needed to camp part is interesting as well. As is the having a number to display how many bonuses an item gives you. There's some good stuff here.

Are spell damage values static or do they progress in any way as the player levels up?

I thought it was pretty cool except I died very quickly, but that just means I suck. The engine is very solid.
