The Bishop ensures me that the priory will be well taken care of during my absence. I have been instructed to travel there as soon as possible, to ensure the light of the Lord stretches to this new frontier. Saints be praised! Enclosed in the letter was a map and directions to a distant outpost called 'Headshoots'. In light of the newfound wealth and success of the priory, he has chosen to reward me with a new opportunity to serve the Lord. "A letter for Bishop Waleran arrived today. Excerpt from the diaries of Brother Kippling, Late Winter, 108. With the Lord's favour we have turned this place around, people travel for days to see the relics and the collection bins are overflowing with donations." No longer is the priory run down and forgotten. We have achieved so much since I first arrived here. "The past few months of preparation have been very successful, High Bishop Waleran was delighted with the condition of the monastery during his visit. Excerpt from the diaries of Brother Kippling, Mid Winter, 108. I'm hoping Verticus left the fort so it can pretty much run itself while I get building. It's only my third game, but I think i've got the hang of doomsday construction. My general plan is to start work on some kind of doomsday weapon, with tons of levers, indoor magma plumbing, screw pumps, floodgates, pits, deathchambers, exploding wine barrels, kitten cages and more levers. I'll get started properly tomorrow, however I'll give a bit of back story right away because I intend to roleplay a bit. I've picked up the savegame, but it's too late to start now (I'm in GMT timezone). If you have any questions, suggestions, or criticism don't hesitate to comment.Alrighty then. If you think that this post could help someone you know get into DF direct them this way. Hopefully you found this set of resources helpful. The gameplay questions forum is teh prefect place to ask your question, just remember to check if a previous thread has already answered it. The DF forums have been around since the game first began development and are frequented by many knowledgeable DF veterans. In my experience the community surrounding the subreddit is very helpful and welcoming to newcomers. The DF subreddit hosts a bi-weekly question thread that is the perfect place to ask any and all DF related questions. There are two main places where you can ask questions regarding DF the subreddit and the forums. In the process of learning to play DF you will inevitably come across a specific question that cannot be answered by these sources. This walkthrough which I think we can safely assume was written by PeridexisErrant is a great alternative for someone looking for detailed explanations of a variety of Dwarf Fortress' mechanics and systems. You should always have it open when playing DF, as it details pretty much everything there is to know about the game. In general the wiki is your best friend when getting started with DF and will likely remain so even when you are a seasoned veteran. This is a good place to look if there is a specific area you are struggling to understand.

It describes everything from how to defend against sieges to trading with merchants. The quick start guide on the DF wiki covers almost every important topic you will need to know starting out. It runs a bit longer than Kruggsmash's tutorial at just under 45 minutes and is thus slightly more in depth. This video tutorial by Nookrium is a bit more recent having been released this year. I watched this tutorial myself when I was getting started and highly recommend it for its high production quality and easy to follow structure. While it was made 2 years ago it is not out of date as all the gameplay areas it covers have been relatively unchanged in recent updates. Kruggsmash's beginner walkthrough is an excellent, brief overview of the absolute basics that is only 1/2 hour long.
I still fondly remember when my first fortress only a few months in was brutally dismembered by a vicious werehorse.įor your very first fortress I would suggest following along with either a video tutorial or a written walkthrough, several of which I have collected below. With this in mind it is imperative that you follow the community's motto of "losing is fun" and learn to enjoy this inevitable collapse of all your hard work. Since DF has no set win condition it is guaranteed that you will lose eventually.
Firstly I will say that the thing most important to keep in mind when starting DF is that you will lose.
