Information:In this game you can choose 2 modes of gameplay and Legends viewer(which I explain below).


1.Dwarf fortress mode

In fortress mode you pick an embark location and then assign 7 Dwarfs you set their labors or skills(or jobs whatever you want to call it),set some starting equipment,food and some animals to start with and you build your own fortress.Your goal is to build a fortress and survive from any invaders goblins or megabeasts,keep your dwarfs happy so they don't kill each other,trade goods with merchants at trade depots,kill elfs,train military and the least goes on.

2.Adventure mode

In Adventure mode you create an Adventurer Dwarf,Human,Elf or Kobolds(if there are no other civilizations and there are kobolds) set him some skills and venture around the world.Your goals are to accomplish quests venture in the wilderness to find caves,shrines,lairs,towns,camps(according to patch 0.40.01) and most of all visit abandoned fortresses watch how your fortress is still up and running even if it's not under your controll(according to patch 0.40.01) or take revenge from the foes that have sealed its fate.In this mode suicide is an option at any given moment seriously and if you don't kill yourself the world will do it for you (hehe).

This game is complicated in the beginning but when you get used to it it is lot of fun.
(Trust me it does I got addicted to it O.o)


I suggest you watch many tutorials or else it will take long till you get use to it.
I suggest these dudes Captnduck, FogeyGaming, RiotHouseLP
I mostly suggest Captnduck but each one of them use different tactics so you choose.

Sites:Main Site,Forums,Wiki

Extras:

The game is currently single player game but there is a tool called Dfterm2 that allows users to connect into the same world
There are programs which you can see your fortress in 3D,or 2D cartoonish style
All those programs can be found here






Also if anyone know this game and want to give suggestions and stuff feel free

I recommend reading this if you haven't heard of the game before

thats pretty awesome thnx dude

Yep its pretty amazing, took me a couple of months to actually get into the game really good, and download decent sprites for it, without it it might be complicated for a beginner.

I watched captnduck's video tutorials when I was getting started (which was ages ago). I can't speak to how good they are compared to your recommendation, but they helped me out quite a bit until I got the hang of it and started figuring out things on my own.

It takes a while to get the hang of it, but once you do it's great (and pretty addictive, too).

captnduck's video tutorials also helped me get into it, really recommend this aswell!

I got back into playing this when the new update came out.

Suffice it to say, Vampire dwarves are the best dwarves to make an army with. If you can infect all of your dwarves (how you do that is a secret!) then you can effectively have a ridiculously OP fortress that doesn't need to eat and has a great, fast-learning army to defend it.

Dwarf fortress has a learning curve right up alongside the most punishing of roguelikes, but it's very satisfying once you get into it.

Modded mine so I can play as a bronze colossus in Adventure mode.

That is to say, I can grab and throw people so hard that they explode when they hit obstacles.

I get used to the ascii code its not that tough its actually easy if you use the texture packs for a while
