![]() ![]() I knew things might not be great because I figured out farming too late in the autumn and only managed to harvest a couple Plump Helmet mushrooms before winter came and my farms dried up. I had been abandoning things fairly quickly to get a fresh start, but I finally got a decent layout going for my fortress. Coupled with his analysis of the Threetoe stories on the Bay 12 forums on how the concepts could be implemented in Dwarf Fortress, it's a reasonable assumption that players will be able to mess with the world through the magic system.I played a game through the winter for the first time today. When magic is implemented, the procedurally generated mythologies associated with them will enable your adventurer to find a way to change them completely or even become a god.When Toady announced that magic will be implemented, he stated that it will be based on whatever story has been generated, citing the works of Brandon Sanderson for example as his inspiration. Let's just hope that if the new features are on the way they are compatible with old saves.Maybe some new bloody features are on the way! On the other hand, we could still be an incomplete version.The player who runs Dubai seems to disagree.However, it would seem that the more recent users have slightly waned in the building of pointless Megaprojects (such as the Great Wall or the Pyramids). #DWARF FORTRESS MIASMA FULL#Perhaps most revealing would be how human society is chock full of wars and strife (potentially the work of a user looking for Fun the Bubonic Plague could have spread due to leaving out miasma-spewing bodies, or WWI sparked by Archduke Ferdinand springing a trap). It would also explain the differences in the personality and outlook between the Old and New testaments. This might explain different pantheon's of gods' personalities due to different play styles. If our universe is Dwarf Fortress, then it has to be either a succession game, or a succession world with each pass-off making a new civ.Our shielding systems would do nothing to stop the classic!coelocanth from breaking into our nuclear power plant cores! Who knows what could have happened if we'd had classic!coelocanth crawling across Asia and Africa, leaping onto the decks of boats and gnawing the crews to death, maybe even making it as far as. We're just lucky the elves nerfed the coelocanth before reintroducing them. The bears are exactly hardcore enough.Perhaps some elven programmer updated his devblog untold aeons ago with "I think I made bears too hardcore". Each iteration of the Fortress, in addition to having a different main race (Ours being the Fortress of Man, the one above being the Elven Fortress, the one above that being Angel Fortress, etc), has its own variant on "bugged out overpowered animal that everyone fears".Have you heard of the Simulated Reality Trilemma? It doesn't like microphones, but isn't mobile ( yet). Hidden Fun Stuff has been found about 14.2 km below Darvaz, Uzbekistan.The fact that the Dwarf Fortress Alpha exists in this universe is either our creator taunting us, or a test to see whether we are worthy of ascension. ![]() This is also the reason why humanity knows more about space then about the bottoms of their own oceans or the depths of their planet - part of the simulation interconnects with our instincts and guides us not to go there, lest we strike the Hidden Fun Stuff. #DWARF FORTRESS MIASMA SIMULATOR#A simulator that created life, down to the finest quark and quantum. Our universe is nothing but the completed version of Dwarf Fortress, running ceaselessly. No, Bookkeepers evolve into The Midnighter.They aren't martial arts masters-they're full-blown psychics, who use telekinesis and force fields to simulate battle prowess. Why not take it one step further? Since the accounts stay accurate even if the dwarf dies and no new bookkeeper is assigned, it seems to follow that the master bookkeeper has predicted the entire future of the fortress.The tremendous mental and physical discipline turns them into unstoppable martial arts masters, allowing them to easily throw their child at their spouse and kill both. They don't write the records on paper, or carve them on the floor, so what's happening? They merely sit quietly and meditate, crafting their minds into perfect machines in which every single component of the fortress is completely accounted for. Bookkeepers are Zen masters.So you take a peasant and give him a chair in a tiny room and tell him to count how many !!leather left socks !! the fortress has, a year later he steps out of the room an unkillable badass. ![]()
