Each new release of Dwarf Fortress brings unexpected results, but you have before you a very stable if experimental build. Version [5] is the new foundation on which more features will be added or removed. Due to lack of Adventure mode and Legends Viewer, it is difficult to observe/test all content. Player fortress reports, screenshots, and videos are welcome!
- Subscribe to Dark Ages V, confirm a download begins on your Steam client.
- Up-vote the mod and read all instructions while you wait for the download to begin and complete. Next start Dwarf Fortress!
- Be afraid, turn down the lights and click “Create new world.”
- Select a Large world with all or most maximum settings to generate hyper-history. Young smaller worlds have unique challenges and may be more stable.
- New “detailed world parameters” are under development and always require a lot of fine tuning each DF update.
- To access full modifications like enhanced evil biome visuals remove (2) vanilla modules: "Vanilla Text" & "Vanilla World Map." Add Dark Ages V, and No Giant Birds for more diverse savage wilds.
- Generate your new world. Once completed, carefully pick an embark location.
- Carefully select pets, skills, and embark items. Silver weapons recommended.
- Advanced players should select "Hard Enemies" on Embark screen, but even normal will feature great danger.
Any mods to Dwarves or Vanilla Entities will conflict with DA:5. Mods made by other authors can cause instability in world gen, remove content, or ruin save game files if patched or updated. Use them at your own risk. In general with DF mods: if you update entities, reactions, or creatures - plan to generate a new world.
