Dwarf Fortress village lets play.
« on: August 07, 2013, 10:52:40 am »

Hi guys,
I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for a few years and recently decided to do a lets play of the game on youtube.
But instead of just playing an average fortress, I decided to add a small twist, my dwarfs are going to live outside in the open in a small village. With the hope that one day it will be a thriving city of happy dwarfs.
Now despite having played the game for a few years I honestly have no idea on where to start on the construction of a house on dwarf fortress. So chances are i'm going to have much !!fun!! losing and learning much !!science!! behind architecture in the dwarven world.

Please give me your opinion on the video if you do watch it, any suggestions for improvement are welcome.  :)
(I know the quality is a bit weird, i'm still trying to work whats up with that.)
