Dwarven Escapades

I've recently gotten into a little game called Dwarf Fortress and let me tell you, it is not easy. The fun of this game ironically is loosing. Sound strange? Unlike other games, your dwarven kingdom can last as long as you can keep it alive and sane.There's so much to explain about this game that it would take me the longest time to write it all out. I'm not even sure if I'm doing everything right, but it's fun as hell. There's so much variation and crazy events in this game that piratically anything can happen. For instance, something just happened recently that I didn't understand what was going on. My masonic dwarf was creating stone coffers in the masonry when he suddenly went into a "fey mood". He took control of the masons workshop and started working on an invention of sorts. I was worried, wondering if he became possessed or became upset. After a while in game he created a new invention. It was just a golden floodgate. After that he became a legendary mason which I greatly appreciate.

There's so much to this game, so much depth, so many little details you need to keep track of. If it wasn't for a genius quick start guide I'm sure I would have completely failed or wouldn't have even tried to play. The difficulty is in the micro tasking, thankfully you can assign tasks and such while the game is paused and you get used to checking on everything and making sure everything is fine and dandy. At some point your fortress will become a well oiled machine with a job for everyone and happiness to spread. I'm still new to this game, but with all of the dynamic things that can happen, such as immigrants, cave ins, wild animal attacks, planned attacks from enemies, dwarven emotions, trade caravans, and all kinds of other crap that can happen. So far nothing too strange has happened to me and this guide is doing me well, but I'm not in deep enough to have experienced this game completely. If you're interested in this game at all, don't think twice about it since it's free! The download link will be posted below along with the quick start guide that you'll undoubtedly need. I'll tell more about my tales in other times but for now I have a dwarven fortress to manage.
