Dark Age has fallen upon the world of Dwarf Fortress...
Monsters flood the night. Nature is in revolt. The Orc and the Gnoll pillage the country sides. War and savagery abound. Terror and magic lurk beyond every shadow. The Hero and the Fortress have never been more important for survival...

Yeah, finally its out. I wanted to have a look at it for a long time.

And pretty nice website, looks very polished.

[RoguelikesESP]

Best thing since Masterwork.

Beautiful, beautiful work.

[Deon]

This looks amazing, I will definitely play it this evening and give you some feedback . Thank you very much for your dedication!

PTW.  This looks awesome

"Features announced for the unreleased “Dark Towers” version do not all appear in R1."

Is this being split into two parts?

[chaosgear]

Gonna hafta try this out later.

How does the magic work? What kind of crafting can adventurers perform? What does each race do? So many questions, so few answers. The website doesn't give us much to work with.

Thank you guys. We never got a chance to chat Deon, so looking forward to hearing your feedback. Meph, more of the Masterwork monsters were supposed to make it in, but time permitted only a few of the spookier ones for R1.

"Features announced for the unreleased “Dark Towers” version do not all appear in R1."

If it was split into two parts, R1 contains all the best most diverse content. Changes that didn't make it into R1 were mostly changes to vanilla or somewhat redundant elements.

Gonna hafta try this out later.

How does the magic work? What kind of crafting can adventurers perform? What does each race do? So many questions, so few answers. The website doesn't give us much to work with.

I will add more content listing to the site and forum post soon. Eventually, the guidebook will go into the most depth.

Just started an adventurer.  And I'm getting a weird bug where tiles are flashing between tons of different resources from slime to adamantine.  All of which i can pick up.

That happens when there is no inorganic with SOIL tag in the raws.

I've not seen this happen before. Is this something I broke? I've not messed around with soil.

I might have caused it when i removed aquifers.

EDIT: Fresh Install fixed it.  Sorry for the false alarm.

How does alchemy work? I don't see anything in the reactions menu except "mortar and pestle"
