Do it like me, just build a raising bridge for an entrance and seal the fortress to outsiders. Bridges are indestructible. The safety of the state is paramount, turn your fortress into a dystopia.
Screw the fisher-dwarves, they were meant to save the fort from the were-beasts by sacrificing themselves... Bare the gates until everything dies, even our own men... We can not risk Were-Guinea Pigs getting in, they will be the death of us all. (To be honest, this is really a very dangerous situation in Dwarf Fortress. They may sound cute, but, they easily weigh 3x as much as a dwarf in Were form, move and attack 3x as fast and are incredibly infectious.)
That happened to my first fortress, a werelizard attack the merchants and one of my dwarfs got a scratch or something, few years later everything went to shit.
Speaking of coins, someone in the forums mentioned that he was fighting a dragon and was out of weapons. So he started throwing whatever was in his pockets at it and his spare change hit it on the nose and it died. One guy started a debate about "honor" and sounded legitimately mad that people thought the fight was cool and there was a flame war between him and everyone else.

Dwarf fortress the type of game where a giant mosquito tries to suck the blood out of a dwarf and instantly vomits and then dies 5 seconds later from alcohol poisoning because the dwarf was drunk and that means it just consumed 90% of its weight in booze in less than a second.

Man i remember i was playing the human demigod. I managed to defeat necromancer with his army but was slaughter on the way by donkeys. No kidding. My injuried hero got attacked by a pack of wild donkeys. I killed 7 donkeys before they finished me off in their own blood near a river.
@@u.s.shukla1100 Dude I get that the game is unique and you guys love it, but you cant sit here and tell me that the UI is fine with a straight face come on
Minecraft too but Minecraft took only the adventure mode part. Not the fortress mode. And with first person perspective. Minecraft is the most successful Dwarf Fortress-inspired game. Imagine if your game have "kids" and one of that "kid" is the most successful game of all time so far. You will be so proud.
A couple years ago an old online buddy told me this game was epic, he was also schizophrenic and off his meds. He was trying to explain it to me while I watched a tutorial. THIS IS what I NEEDED to see to understand.
Man it feels like you need to have something wrong with you in the head to play dwarf fortress. I was told multiple times i was insane for playing this game (i play in ascii). Theres something different in how our brains work compared to a normal one, where we can see a dwarf full of thoughts and feelings whereas they just see a smiley face or nothing at all. The ascii visuals fell naturally on me the first time i played but when i tried explaining it to my parents they couldnt even get a syngle symbol.
I love this game, once had an axe dwarf save the fortress from 3 werebeasts, and she was bit by one, so she fucking cut herself in half. the other dwarves basicly made the fortress in to a shrine for her, half of it was her fighting, the other half was her committing seppuku. fucking brilliant game
I tried to get into the game but got overwhelmed over the fact that my hunter refused to hunt every fucking game for no reason and people starved to death cus of it. I might go back knowing this now. Assuming my hunters get off their asses and use their damned weapons for their profession.
I'm still playing now, in a war with the elves cause I tried to sell them a wooden chair, trolls are breaking up through my Wells, people are vomiting everywhere, the fortress is haunted asf and most of my clothes are made from the skins of dead pets. Completely successful fortress.
Dread Quixadhal imo, only a game with such shit ui could have enough love and care put into the mechanics of the game. The complete disregard for the ui is a testament to the sheer dedication and thought put into the mechanics and reward system
And yet, mastery of this UI, which takes more than a month, feels good. When you are no longer looking at your keybindings to do things. It is so supremely satisfying to have this level of memorization in the UI. Even more satisfying when you don't need a "texture pack" to play, but you use it anyway just because it's pretty and the artwork is nice. What always crippled me about the game was that any "long lasting" fortress brings your computer to its knees with lag. With individual turns of movement taking 30 whole seconds to process or more. You either lose your fortress early to stupid mistakes or bad luck... or lose it late to crippling lag. Someday, I want to own a computer that can run Dwarf Fortress beyond 150 Dwarves and a sprawling empire. Where I can modernize the fortress and make it all extremely efficient. Dwarf Fortress is the benchmark for your PC. Can you get to the Population cap of 200 Dwarves and pull the Sword in the Stone and have less than a 20 second lag between turns. If yes, your PC is amazing.
I play this game. It's awesome. I usually play Adventure Mode and in my current game I started as a dwarf peasant. It's far from my first game so I knew I had to get stronger so I went to a river to swim, which increased my endurance, strength, and toughness. I eventually encountered a dwarf-eating giant alligator, which destroyed the nerves in my left arm. In desperation I threw a stone axe at the monster, destroying it's spine. It was still alive so I strangled the beast to death. That was a while ago. Now my character has legendary toughness, endurance, strength, agility, willpower, kinesthetic ability and spatial sense. In addition my character is now a necromancer and I have a horde of over a hundred undead including a minotaurs, a cyclops and a Titan. Now my character seeks to destroy all goblin and elven civilizations in order to ensure the eternal hegemony of dwarves civilization over the continent my character lives on. Edit: My horde recently killed the demonic overlord of a goblin civilization. It's first sin was ever posing a threat to dwarf-kind. It's second was siding with the foul goblins, who exist only to torture and defile as shown in the documentary known as Goblin Slayer. It's final sin was that it was a fury, a one-eyed fox demon furry. Its death was suitably embarrassing: punched by a goblin skeleton so hard that it's lower body exploded. Now my character is trying to force it's way out the dark fortress, for my horde's disdain for life aside from my own is such that they would defy my orders. I still have several more goblins and their troll slaves to slay but my character now has a new issue to deal with, more dangerous than any for: remain loyal to dwarven ideals or try to rule the continent.
Two Events in my past Fortresses that I like to share, first: I once had a fisherdwarf get his stomach ripped open from a falling tree. Luckily for him he had Masterful Regenerative Ability, and his bleeding stopped very quickly.... while he was still outside. Before he could return to the fortress, an animal type he was afraid of appears... and he JUMPS into a river. Normally this would mean the end of our trusty Dwarf... but apparently he used his insides that were dragging behind him as a floaty device. I still can not explain this... Second story I like to share is less elaborate but always good fun: Turning my Entire Army into vampires by forcing them to drink a vampires well I forced down a well... and blood let him into the water contaminating it.
There's a notable story of how people designed a mermaid harvesting system where a pile of valuable mermaid bones would build up. It should be noted that things being valuable aren't that useful. They did it because they could.
Kinda funny, kinda sad that Asmongold only really starts salivating when he sees the view counts in the DF forums. But he is, after all, a streamer. That's his bottom line
aah, there was time i played df, but i found out just reading forums for random stuff was almost as fun. people takes making a efficient fortress designs to another level, and they call it science. Also battle stories, you cant make that s**t up. edited gazillion times for typos, and typos made while fixing typos.
I had to pause the game for a bit, since it's the kind of game that can take up a lot of time. On the bright side, I have most of a geology degree now.
Ill admit I just cant seem to muster the patience to actually play but its always fun to watch, read, etc about all the ways it goes horribly right (come on we need wear [giant] sponges)
My miner made an artifact marble table with an image depicting "the mortal wounding of Vucar Inoduthnûr by Gneiss in late winter of 244", which was when my favourite other Miner mined away the floor underneath himself, to then get crushed by said floor (which was made out of gneiss btw). There was blood everywhere and it was horrible and glorious. The miner who made the table held that same pick that accidentally killed his predecessor when he made that table. Oh and his child got murdered by a werezebra and then came back to haunt him so he got incredibly depressed. Making that table saved his life.
Yeah because it's forsens fault, not the people who rip video from his streams and make money off of it. He's usually just eating breakfast when he watches videos.
I ran an entire fortress on the produce I could harvest from cats. Cat meat, cat fat, cat bones, cat leather, and cat offals. This is why I always buy two cats, male and female, to ensure that if my agricultural project fails to be developed the first or second year I can fall back on eating the cats. Make sure that they're not adopted before you slaughter them! Yeah, about those damn werebeasts, they're fucking everywhere! My latest fortress fell to the spread of lycanthropy, to be specific it was werehyena disease that spread through my fortress without me ever realizing this till it was too late. The first dwarf to attract the disease was most likely one of my soldiers, who did kill the second werebeast that approached my fortress and died just outside the massive entrance. The first werebeast was a human wereraccoon, and seeing that the first diseased dwarf turned into a werehyena I can discount him, the first werebeast to attack my fortress, as the progenitor behind this plague. The second and third, and so on, dwarf to turn all turned into the same weretype: the werehyena. To detect this corruption it took me six in-game years and one goblin siege. The fortress had been semi-stable, few deaths, and a military that made short work of anything. Sadly, I did not have the ability to provide my military dwarves with metal armor, but I did equip them with leather armor, a shield, a spear, and a crossbow each; with 150 bolts shared between ten dwarves. Their skill as soldiers made up for the lacking equipment. The main issue was the supply of agricultural produce to keep my stills going; my meat industry was kept going with fish, cats, unassorted wildlife, and bovines - yaks mainly. This changed after the fortress gained notoriety with the local goblin fortress after I've exported over 10,000 in value in one go with a distant human city. The goblins attacked and I ordered everyone into the royal dining hall. My military moved to block off the entrance. As the military and the goblins butchered one another in the long entrance corridor leading to the trading depot of my fortress, my civilian dwarves were brawling for their bearded lives. Several dwarves had turned into werehyenas and were attacking baby dwarves and their parents in a frenzy. This had almost one hundred civilians to throw themselves against the werehyenas. Body parts, offals, teeth, blood, vomit, mangled corpses everywhere, and equipment were pilling up in the dining hall by the second. The last goblin was torn to pieces by a group of wrestlers, one carrying her child in her arms. I released the civilians from the burrow assigned to the dining hall and replaced the dead soldiers. I had yet to notice the piles of dead in the dining room, which is why I didn't notice another mistake I made when reestablished order to my military. When I noticed the dead werehyenas and dead dwarves I sighed and began going through a list of possible ways of containing the spread of corruption, which I discounted as I saw the extent of unbridled butchery that had spread blood almost throughout my entire fortress. Then my military began to die in their barracks. I paned across my fortress and saw more and more werehyenas dashing down long mountain corridors, ripping into defenseless dwarves, killing cats and other animals. I conceded defeat and retired the fortress.
@j Nice idea. The issue is that it is very difficult to run with. Tantrum spirals and general mayhem is still going to affect them negatively. The lycanthropic curse must be of the same kind or they'll see each other as rivals. When they transform they enter a berserker stance and this means that there is a good chance they'll attack each other despite being cursed with the same lycanthropic curse. They also have a high chance of going stark raving mad, so keeping them happy is beyond just a cute challenge. They do not need to eat, drink, or sleep; neither do they die of old age. The fact that they do not need to sleep can affect them adversely mentally. More obscure issues will affect your fort negatively that most forget will happen each time a dwarf transforms: they will remove their clothes and any productive activity will drop to zero for days. Once they return to dwarf-form they'll start searching for their clothes. Your military will also be throwing around their gear, except weapons and other handheld items or items slung over their backs or hanging from the side such as quivers, causing them to run around naked every time they transform. Politically dwarves transforming and attacking other dwarves may cause a loyalty cascade (civil war) and economically this may lead to a major reduction in trade since it is difficult to know exactly when dwarves are going to transform. If your transformed dwarves attack other factions it is almost guaranteed you'll start a war. Since I'm not very good at this game I tend to avoid this type of challenge.
@j I prefer vampirism, they don't lose their minds at the same rate as lycanthropes. Infecting dwarves with vampirism is also much easier since the vampire is easier to control and, more importantly, to find and isolate. Spreading vampirism can be done by contaminating your water source with their blood. Whilst they are proficient liers, they hide their true name and all to gain access to your fort, it is still very easy to spot them by looking at their skills, their visual age compared to their actual age, how many children they have, social associations (Friends, groups, factions, etc.), and by observing them breaking against orders. They will give you false information as they ignore orders, such as claiming they're fetching items from a stockpile but they're actually roaming some corridor and moving away from your stockpiles. Therefore, I try to imprison the vampire until I find an opportune moment to use them. Lycanthropes I'll mob with my military and then I try to find any dwarf that has been bloodied so I can isolate them in a room with drinkables and food until the next full moon. If they transform I'll wall off that room for good if I haven't installed a kill-trap to clear the space of the unholy creature infesting it.
I have a feeling that dwarf fortress players compete with each other by seeing who is going to lose more creatively. Am i anywhere close to the truth in my statement?
@@markosimunic4770 Shit, dude. I don't even know what's happening half of the time. But the more experienced playthroughs I've seen mostly consist of masterful plays and building up to a majestic downfall down the line. It's just how the cookie crumbles.
lol, bruh, I've played DF for years. With and without toolsets, with and without therapist, with and without DFhack. The game is amazing, but it's not without it's flaws. It's UI is one of them. It can be overcome by a player that's determined enough to get past it, but it's a problem none the less.
There are only 2 downsides to dwarf fortress: 1) it will never have a multiplayer option 2) it is in constant development so expect a lot of bugs, example: The recent bug makes dwarfs fall into a depression upon seeing a dead body which leads them to throw a fit, also if you retire your fort on adventure and return to it you will have tons of merchants that won’t trade with you because they are stuck as well as dwarfs spawning outside your closed fort because if you leave it open something can kill them Anyway those are my problems with dwarfs fortress for now, also you said online at the end, no dwarfs fortress is an offline game
DF is the best shit out there. Of course in comparison to other games it's hard to get into because it's so god damn elaborate, but it offers some of the best experiences you can have. Where else would find out that digging too deep without having a proper militia in place, would mean that you get destroyed by a eons old giant blind furry duck with poisoning gas from the depths. I recommend this absolute gem to anyone, even if 99% of people stop playing after half an hour, the 1% that stick will have a one of a kind experience.
Also you need some fantasy on your own for this game, since everything is represented in text or by symbols, unless you're a troglodyte that installs high quality tilesets and refuses to have his eyes melted by the screen.
Why was I recommended this video? I get to watch a quality Ssseth video while some inane fivehead who's clearly never played dorfortress interrupts with quality commentary like "Oh.". Great. Thanks TH-cam.
kenichi is pretty good too. after 100h on the game my friend had to upgrade his RAM to 32Gb because there was too much shit generating the game couldn't keep track of everything without slowing down
I killed my first fort trying to make a cheese bar. I started making a dining room and well ended up pre planning. If you build to small and don't leave room you can't expand. But if you build to big it never gets done. It started well. As i slowly got more and more obsessed in the dining area being grand and amazing and drawing jealousy of foreigners with our fine wines and new idea of a Cheese bar. And as the standards and idea keept increasing the workers needed were higher and higher each year. Until everyone and i mean everyone. Worked to death on it without me even noticing as everything else. dwarves moved and forced to sleep in hallways where "noises" and collapse happened. People falling in lava at the fournasses. The people gradually getting to few food and the cheese being placed with high estimed in a corner of the room with the pesky nobels having first dip. At the very least my guards were apt enough and well taken care of. They were my pride, looking over the workers and stoping any foreing threat or thieves. It was a glorious slow starving fall. We also had a dump pile too. Not the bodies, all chairs and bed forbiden to workers. As they were under the excelent or mastercraft jewl encrusted standards that i set. Thousands of furniture and items that i told them to dump and burn for melting gold rather then supply my people. And once i reclaimed it tried to actually get food. Till my farms turned into something even better then food. An ancient chimera burst in killing nearly all till we baited it in the "zoo" farms. And that was the second fall. A game of glorious stories. Just understand the minimum and laugh confused at how you died. And if you get good enough imagine dumb towns. Like a water town were all dwarves have water up to their waist and erect it as a temple. If you ever get invaded you flush the whole temple as levels by level the water rises until the bottom and everything gets crushed by the atom smasher or into a spikey torturous maze. One last fun advice. Become necromancer adventure mode. Its near useless trick... Well more like a rod of wonders in dnd for the effect. You go were you want with 100 or so dead, tiny chimp, birds, fish or whatever you can find. Keep it in your bag. Ressurect on your square. Instant chaos and horror. And no one blames you for it. They hate the undead your fine.
9:43 my favorite part XD "i spent the rest of my career spreading rumours that the previous king was murdered...by myself. everyone refused to belive it and said that i the king was full of shit" XD
I just spent an entire afternoon setting up my first paper industry including dealing with a bug that stalled production so that my two ASCII scholars can write books. What is Dwarf Fortress? In one word: Autism. One of my favourite games.
I commented this on Sseth's video as well, but I will say it again here. The reason why the coins didn't work is because of the way Dwarf Fortress handles physics. Blunt weapons are more effective the less surface area they have, and as most items that aren't sharp fall under that category, the smaller they are the more devastating they become, especially when thrown at high speeds. Basically, Dwarf Fortress doesn't consider the shape of an object when calculating how much damage it would do, only the mass. So, a coin is basically identical in all but name... To a bullet. The protection didn't work because blunt objects work _extremely well_ against armor. Before Tarn patched it, this actually resulted in ridiculous scenarios where throwing weapons we're so OP that one person managed to kill a Bronze Colossus by throwing a Fluffy Wambler at it. Bronze Colossus is exactly what it sounds like, a big angry bronze statue, and a Fluffy Wambler is a magical creature that is basically a ball made out of fur that lacks organs and is completely composed of purple blubber. Before the patch, you could kill the scariest enemies in the game with nothing more than a rock and good aim.
This game is the best. you know how rimworld touts itself as a story generator? This is where rimworld came from. Rimworld started as a fangame of DF... Everything is ok until it implodes. I tried to tell my BF about my current fortress... and he was like. you are blowing my mind. I cant believe you are making this shit up right now. I showed him the highlights in screenshots i took of the ensuing insanity and now he plays it
Pretty sure there was a bug in DF where upon a mother giving birth, the baby would ride the mother like a mount and then the mother would be completely helpless against the whims of a baby an end up dying of dehydration. I mean come on, what a game. The level of detail in the simulation is mind boggling.
Dwarf Fortress is awesome. I bought my I7-7700 with the hope that I could run a 200 plus pet and visitor fortress. I sort of can, around 300 units with gear and things start to drop to about 30-40 FPS, but I remember playing games at 2.
It’s the grade of impact you can have on others or the world. But that’s complicated, when you want a product that have a controlled experience or the same experience for everyone. You have to trust the people to make it fun by themselves in a economy system that is build on reliable processes. You can’t predict where your product will go. The level of flexibility is not given in a triple A company. I think we will need 1-2 more generations of technological progress to make it cheap to produce such worlds. With lower cost comes lower risk and more investment.

Dwarf Fortress is unironically one of the best games ever made, its very in depth.
yes.
Take my upvote, pack your pickaxe and get out.
A couple years ago an old online buddy told me this game was epic, he was also schizophrenic and off his meds. He was trying to explain it to me while I watched a tutorial. THIS IS what I NEEDED to see to understand.
Ah classic DF player, living the experience of the game itself...
I mean, hallucinations are great but have you ever played dwarf fortress?
Man it feels like you need to have something wrong with you in the head to play dwarf fortress. I was told multiple times i was insane for playing this game (i play in ascii). Theres something different in how our brains work compared to a normal one, where we can see a dwarf full of thoughts and feelings whereas they just see a smiley face or nothing at all. The ascii visuals fell naturally on me the first time i played but when i tried explaining it to my parents they couldnt even get a syngle symbol.
@@strevortniseems like a plasticity thing
I love this game, once had an axe dwarf save the fortress from 3 werebeasts, and she was bit by one, so she fucking cut herself in half. the other dwarves basicly made the fortress in to a shrine for her, half of it was her fighting, the other half was her committing seppuku. fucking brilliant game
holy shit
I would keep that save for story-telling-to-the-grandkids purposes.
DF is a goldmine of hilarious and unexpected circumstances
Sseth's video should be a requirement to see when people ask about the game
I tried to get into the game but got overwhelmed over the fact that my hunter refused to hunt every fucking game for no reason and people starved to death cus of it. I might go back knowing this now. Assuming my hunters get off their asses and use their damned weapons for their profession.
(@@throwawayemail6269 ) that right fucking there is a perfect example. Shit happens, and there are realistic consequences to said stupid shit.
Although from an ancient version, reading the story of boatmurdered (easily googled) should also be a requirement.
Its so fun to watch streamers react to Sseth´s video for a first time, i love the reactions.
His videos are masterpieces :-D
I have watched his videos so many times that now I am watching people watching his videos
@@olucaspc If Sseth's corporate career doesn't work out he could be a cult leader
His videos are legendary
O
I'm still playing now, in a war with the elves cause I tried to sell them a wooden chair, trolls are breaking up through my Wells, people are vomiting everywhere, the fortress is haunted asf and most of my clothes are made from the skins of dead pets. Completely successful fortress.
Sseth's compelete and utter humour make Asmongold seem downright unfunny in comparison
Well, he IS bland.
He is unfunny, paint drying is literally funnier
Skyler Brooks he is unfunny
Wait, people watch Asmongold for humor?
Streaming versus making a video and cherry-picking humour.
Dwarf Fortress is a brilliant and amazing game that's crippled by a UI that requires near-fatal brain damage to be able to understand. :)
Dread Quixadhal imo, only a game with such shit ui could have enough love and care put into the mechanics of the game. The complete disregard for the ui is a testament to the sheer dedication and thought put into the mechanics and reward system
Not really hard. The letters usually connect to the word. I mean one can read, so you can't really get lost.
And yet, mastery of this UI, which takes more than a month, feels good. When you are no longer looking at your keybindings to do things. It is so supremely satisfying to have this level of memorization in the UI. Even more satisfying when you don't need a "texture pack" to play, but you use it anyway just because it's pretty and the artwork is nice.
What always crippled me about the game was that any "long lasting" fortress brings your computer to its knees with lag. With individual turns of movement taking 30 whole seconds to process or more. You either lose your fortress early to stupid mistakes or bad luck... or lose it late to crippling lag.
Someday, I want to own a computer that can run Dwarf Fortress beyond 150 Dwarves and a sprawling empire. Where I can modernize the fortress and make it all extremely efficient.
Dwarf Fortress is the benchmark for your PC. Can you get to the Population cap of 200 Dwarves and pull the Sword in the Stone and have less than a 20 second lag between turns. If yes, your PC is amazing.
Dwarf Fortress is great!! The tilesets, mods and external tools make the UI bearable. Dwarf Therapist is a must-have.
Only near-fatal, though. It can be played fully stock if one is willing to put in the time and effort to become a lich, and really, who wouldn't?
I play this game. It's awesome. I usually play Adventure Mode and in my current game I started as a dwarf peasant. It's far from my first game so I knew I had to get stronger so I went to a river to swim, which increased my endurance, strength, and toughness. I eventually encountered a dwarf-eating giant alligator, which destroyed the nerves in my left arm. In desperation I threw a stone axe at the monster, destroying it's spine. It was still alive so I strangled the beast to death. That was a while ago. Now my character has legendary toughness, endurance, strength, agility, willpower, kinesthetic ability and spatial sense. In addition my character is now a necromancer and I have a horde of over a hundred undead including a minotaurs, a cyclops and a Titan. Now my character seeks to destroy all goblin and elven civilizations in order to ensure the eternal hegemony of dwarves civilization over the continent my character lives on.
Edit: My horde recently killed the demonic overlord of a goblin civilization. It's first sin was ever posing a threat to dwarf-kind. It's second was siding with the foul goblins, who exist only to torture and defile as shown in the documentary known as Goblin Slayer. It's final sin was that it was a fury, a one-eyed fox demon furry. Its death was suitably embarrassing: punched by a goblin skeleton so hard that it's lower body exploded. Now my character is trying to force it's way out the dark fortress, for my horde's disdain for life aside from my own is such that they would defy my orders. I still have several more goblins and their troll slaves to slay but my character now has a new issue to deal with, more dangerous than any for: remain loyal to dwarven ideals or try to rule the continent.
So did he remain loyal or did he rule? :D
@@OGsusIsAFish He stayed loyal and decided no one should have the power to manipulate the dead. So he threw himself into the ocean with the tablet
@@gasmonkey1000 haha that sounds epic man! I'm not sure why he would need to throw himself with it, but I wouldn't question a dwarf of his caliber ;)
Two Events in my past Fortresses that I like to share, first: I once had a fisherdwarf get his stomach ripped open from a falling tree. Luckily for him he had Masterful Regenerative Ability, and his bleeding stopped very quickly.... while he was still outside. Before he could return to the fortress, an animal type he was afraid of appears... and he JUMPS into a river. Normally this would mean the end of our trusty Dwarf... but apparently he used his insides that were dragging behind him as a floaty device. I still can not explain this...
Second story I like to share is less elaborate but always good fun: Turning my Entire Army into vampires by forcing them to drink a vampires well I forced down a well... and blood let him into the water contaminating it.
that first story is amazing :o
There's a notable story of how people designed a mermaid harvesting system where a pile of valuable mermaid bones would build up. It should be noted that things being valuable aren't that useful. They did it because they could.
Kinda funny, kinda sad that Asmongold only really starts salivating when he sees the view counts in the DF forums. But he is, after all, a streamer. That's his bottom line
The merchants guild sends its reguards.
aah, there was time i played df, but i found out just reading forums for random stuff was almost as fun. people takes making a efficient fortress designs to another level, and they call it science. Also battle stories, you cant make that s**t up.

4:05 - "Who the f*ck plays this!?"
Me! Dwarf Fortress is frickin' awesome! :)
Me too, it’s some good shit to play.
Strike the earth, brothers!
Ive never seen so much soy in one post
I had to pause the game for a bit, since it's the kind of game that can take up a lot of time. On the bright side, I have most of a geology degree now.
Ill admit I just cant seem to muster the patience to actually play but its always fun to watch, read, etc about all the ways it goes horribly right (come on we need wear [giant] sponges)
My miner made an artifact marble table with an image depicting "the mortal wounding of Vucar Inoduthnûr by Gneiss in late winter of 244", which was when my favourite other Miner mined away the floor underneath himself, to then get crushed by said floor (which was made out of gneiss btw). There was blood everywhere and it was horrible and glorious. The miner who made the table held that same pick that accidentally killed his predecessor when he made that table. Oh and his child got murdered by a werezebra and then came back to haunt him so he got incredibly depressed. Making that table saved his life.

sseth expanding his merchant's guild
I ran an entire fortress on the produce I could harvest from cats. Cat meat, cat fat, cat bones, cat leather, and cat offals. This is why I always buy two cats, male and female, to ensure that if my agricultural project fails to be developed the first or second year I can fall back on eating the cats. Make sure that they're not adopted before you slaughter them!
Yeah, about those damn werebeasts, they're fucking everywhere! My latest fortress fell to the spread of lycanthropy, to be specific it was werehyena disease that spread through my fortress without me ever realizing this till it was too late. The first dwarf to attract the disease was most likely one of my soldiers, who did kill the second werebeast that approached my fortress and died just outside the massive entrance.
The first werebeast was a human wereraccoon, and seeing that the first diseased dwarf turned into a werehyena I can discount him, the first werebeast to attack my fortress, as the progenitor behind this plague. The second and third, and so on, dwarf to turn all turned into the same weretype: the werehyena. To detect this corruption it took me six in-game years and one goblin siege.
The fortress had been semi-stable, few deaths, and a military that made short work of anything. Sadly, I did not have the ability to provide my military dwarves with metal armor, but I did equip them with leather armor, a shield, a spear, and a crossbow each; with 150 bolts shared between ten dwarves. Their skill as soldiers made up for the lacking equipment.
The main issue was the supply of agricultural produce to keep my stills going; my meat industry was kept going with fish, cats, unassorted wildlife, and bovines - yaks mainly. This changed after the fortress gained notoriety with the local goblin fortress after I've exported over 10,000 in value in one go with a distant human city. The goblins attacked and I ordered everyone into the royal dining hall. My military moved to block off the entrance.
As the military and the goblins butchered one another in the long entrance corridor leading to the trading depot of my fortress, my civilian dwarves were brawling for their bearded lives. Several dwarves had turned into werehyenas and were attacking baby dwarves and their parents in a frenzy. This had almost one hundred civilians to throw themselves against the werehyenas. Body parts, offals, teeth, blood, vomit, mangled corpses everywhere, and equipment were pilling up in the dining hall by the second.
The last goblin was torn to pieces by a group of wrestlers, one carrying her child in her arms. I released the civilians from the burrow assigned to the dining hall and replaced the dead soldiers. I had yet to notice the piles of dead in the dining room, which is why I didn't notice another mistake I made when reestablished order to my military. When I noticed the dead werehyenas and dead dwarves I sighed and began going through a list of possible ways of containing the spread of corruption, which I discounted as I saw the extent of unbridled butchery that had spread blood almost throughout my entire fortress. Then my military began to die in their barracks. I paned across my fortress and saw more and more werehyenas dashing down long mountain corridors, ripping into defenseless dwarves, killing cats and other animals. I conceded defeat and retired the fortress.
sounds like China
Very nice.
@j Nice idea. The issue is that it is very difficult to run with. Tantrum spirals and general mayhem is still going to affect them negatively. The lycanthropic curse must be of the same kind or they'll see each other as rivals. When they transform they enter a berserker stance and this means that there is a good chance they'll attack each other despite being cursed with the same lycanthropic curse. They also have a high chance of going stark raving mad, so keeping them happy is beyond just a cute challenge.
They do not need to eat, drink, or sleep; neither do they die of old age. The fact that they do not need to sleep can affect them adversely mentally. More obscure issues will affect your fort negatively that most forget will happen each time a dwarf transforms: they will remove their clothes and any productive activity will drop to zero for days. Once they return to dwarf-form they'll start searching for their clothes. Your military will also be throwing around their gear, except weapons and other handheld items or items slung over their backs or hanging from the side such as quivers, causing them to run around naked every time they transform.
Politically dwarves transforming and attacking other dwarves may cause a loyalty cascade (civil war) and economically this may lead to a major reduction in trade since it is difficult to know exactly when dwarves are going to transform. If your transformed dwarves attack other factions it is almost guaranteed you'll start a war.
Since I'm not very good at this game I tend to avoid this type of challenge.
@j I prefer vampirism, they don't lose their minds at the same rate as lycanthropes. Infecting dwarves with vampirism is also much easier since the vampire is easier to control and, more importantly, to find and isolate. Spreading vampirism can be done by contaminating your water source with their blood.
Whilst they are proficient liers, they hide their true name and all to gain access to your fort, it is still very easy to spot them by looking at their skills, their visual age compared to their actual age, how many children they have, social associations (Friends, groups, factions, etc.), and by observing them breaking against orders. They will give you false information as they ignore orders, such as claiming they're fetching items from a stockpile but they're actually roaming some corridor and moving away from your stockpiles. Therefore, I try to imprison the vampire until I find an opportune moment to use them.
Lycanthropes I'll mob with my military and then I try to find any dwarf that has been bloodied so I can isolate them in a room with drinkables and food until the next full moon. If they transform I'll wall off that room for good if I haven't installed a kill-trap to clear the space of the unholy creature infesting it.
One more person discovers the wonderful world of pure, unadulterated autism that is Dwarf Fortress. Remember: Losing is fun!
I have a feeling that dwarf fortress players compete with each other by seeing who is going to lose more creatively.
Am i anywhere close to the truth in my statement?
@@markosimunic4770 Shit, dude. I don't even know what's happening half of the time. But the more experienced playthroughs I've seen mostly consist of masterful plays and building up to a majestic downfall down the line. It's just how the cookie crumbles.
Dwarf Fortress, such a work of art. If only it had a working UI. :D
Its the reason why I cant get into, hope some devs fixed this on github or something.
For now I am enjoying Cataclysm DDA
The UI is literally perfect. It is your muscle memory that is broken.
lol, bruh, I've played DF for years. With and without toolsets, with and without therapist, with and without DFhack. The game is amazing, but it's not without it's flaws. It's UI is one of them. It can be overcome by a player that's determined enough to get past it, but it's a problem none the less.
@@ASNS117Zero -- The real game is making custom raws and sprites anyway. The only purpose of playing is making sure it works.
@@technologicalwaste7612 100% true i really enjoyed UI it was something new for me.
My house is a dwarf fortress 😔
Calm down Bilbo
oh, its 1x3 and has a bed, cabinet, and a door? cabinet contains a single "hardly used" sock, throroughly used pants and a boot?
i think you should make watched video even bigger, stealing content isnt blatant enough
Nothing really funny about this guy's blank "reactions" imo but Sseth's vids are always top notch.
There are only 2 downsides to dwarf fortress:
1) it will never have a multiplayer option
2) it is in constant development so expect a lot of bugs, example:
The recent bug makes dwarfs fall into a depression upon seeing a dead body which leads them to throw a fit, also if you retire your fort on adventure and return to it you will have tons of merchants that won’t trade with you because they are stuck as well as dwarfs spawning outside your closed fort because if you leave it open something can kill them
Anyway those are my problems with dwarfs fortress for now, also you said online at the end, no dwarfs fortress is an offline game
Sseth isn't kidding about DF being the hardest game to run on PC btw.
03:10 "The longer you survive, the more migrants will arrive from neighbouring cities"
-Oooh... so its like Europe.

I love seth finding out hes an actual RL MD with about 5 phds was not actually surprising at all
Calling Df a Sandbox of depravity is so god damn accurate
Dwarf fortress is a hallmark masterpiece in rollplaying and fantasy world-building/simulation
Really happy to see asmongold watching ssseth jesus christ
3:12 "Oh, so it's like Europe."
I've seen this reaction like 10 times now and I'm still catching new jokes. Holy fuck, what a burn.
Only in Dwarf Fotress moment... when people figured out that farming mermaids to make crafts from their bones was INCREDIBLY profitable.
"Who the fuck plays this"
me, for example, on and off for the past 10 years. usually when I'm drunk.
I feel like Sseth 's humor is beyond the comprehension of Asmond and his fans.
DF is the best shit out there. Of course in comparison to other games it's hard to get into because it's so god damn elaborate, but it offers some of the best experiences you can have. Where else would find out that digging too deep without having a proper militia in place, would mean that you get destroyed by a eons old giant blind furry duck with poisoning gas from the depths. I recommend this absolute gem to anyone, even if 99% of people stop playing after half an hour, the 1% that stick will have a one of a kind experience.
Also you need some fantasy on your own for this game, since everything is represented in text or by symbols, unless you're a troglodyte that installs high quality tilesets and refuses to have his eyes melted by the screen.
If you’ve never seen the video in question, watch it. Several times.
His reviews are fkn hilarious.
Only reason I watched this is bc sethzzench played basically uninterrupted. Lame "react to".
Brandon Davis
It’s pretty realistic so not really
"Oh, so it's like Europe?" damn, ded.
if you blink in a sseth video, you miss 50 jokes
Why was I recommended this video? I get to watch a quality Ssseth video while some inane fivehead who's clearly never played dorfortress interrupts with quality commentary like "Oh.".
Great. Thanks TH-cam.
At least you appeared in the video.
2:50
Reaction videos are one of the many cancers growing here.
Man, I've been playing this game on and off since like 2010. Most re-playable game I've ever played.
The chat is always low iq and has a short attention span.
Full circle
This guy's reactions are a thing of joy.
So do you actually add anything to the videos you are watching?
What a waste of time
One of the deepest games/simulations ever created. Just released on steam...
kenichi is pretty good too.
after 100h on the game my friend had to upgrade his RAM to 32Gb because there was too much shit generating the game couldn't keep track of everything without slowing down
It’s neat watching someone so boring and lazy watching someone entertaining that puts weeks of work into each video
"There's nothing quite like it (dwarf fortress)"
"I hope not"
Are you dissing dwarf fortress?!
I laughed so hard at this. Asmon is a uniquely funny guy.
I killed my first fort trying to make a cheese bar. I started making a dining room and well ended up pre planning. If you build to small and don't leave room you can't expand. But if you build to big it never gets done. It started well. As i slowly got more and more obsessed in the dining area being grand and amazing and drawing jealousy of foreigners with our fine wines and new idea of a Cheese bar. And as the standards and idea keept increasing the workers needed were higher and higher each year. Until everyone and i mean everyone. Worked to death on it without me even noticing as everything else. dwarves moved and forced to sleep in hallways where "noises" and collapse happened. People falling in lava at the fournasses. The people gradually getting to few food and the cheese being placed with high estimed in a corner of the room with the pesky nobels having first dip. At the very least my guards were apt enough and well taken care of. They were my pride, looking over the workers and stoping any foreing threat or thieves. It was a glorious slow starving fall. We also had a dump pile too. Not the bodies, all chairs and bed forbiden to workers. As they were under the excelent or mastercraft jewl encrusted standards that i set. Thousands of furniture and items that i told them to dump and burn for melting gold rather then supply my people.
And once i reclaimed it tried to actually get food. Till my farms turned into something even better then food. An ancient chimera burst in killing nearly all till we baited it in the "zoo" farms. And that was the second fall.
A game of glorious stories. Just understand the minimum and laugh confused at how you died. And if you get good enough imagine dumb towns. Like a water town were all dwarves have water up to their waist and erect it as a temple. If you ever get invaded you flush the whole temple as levels by level the water rises until the bottom and everything gets crushed by the atom smasher or into a spikey torturous maze.
One last fun advice. Become necromancer adventure mode. Its near useless trick... Well more like a rod of wonders in dnd for the effect. You go were you want with 100 or so dead, tiny chimp, birds, fish or whatever you can find. Keep it in your bag. Ressurect on your square. Instant chaos and horror. And no one blames you for it. They hate the undead your fine.
re "who the fuck plays this" - ive played this since like 2008, and I'm decently sure I've sunk more hours into DF than into WoW. ;)
I'm waiting for the steak release. Excited to try it out tho who knows how that will go I'm pretty dumb lol
I better go save the link to Sseth's website before YT bans him. All this attention can only end badly for someone on the fringe of comedy right now
9:43 my favorite part XD
"i spent the rest of my career spreading rumours that the previous king was murdered...by myself. everyone refused to belive it and said that i the king was full of shit" XD
I just spent an entire afternoon setting up my first paper industry including dealing with a bug that stalled production so that my two ASCII scholars can write books. What is Dwarf Fortress? In one word: Autism. One of my favourite games.
Dwarf fortress is a god tier game
Everything I love in one video. I can die in peace now.
i wish every game i played online was this fuckin epic lol
"So it's like europe"
I commented this on Sseth's video as well, but I will say it again here.
The reason why the coins didn't work is because of the way Dwarf Fortress handles physics. Blunt weapons are more effective the less surface area they have, and as most items that aren't sharp fall under that category, the smaller they are the more devastating they become, especially when thrown at high speeds.
Basically, Dwarf Fortress doesn't consider the shape of an object when calculating how much damage it would do, only the mass. So, a coin is basically identical in all but name... To a bullet. The protection didn't work because blunt objects work _extremely well_ against armor.
Before Tarn patched it, this actually resulted in ridiculous scenarios where throwing weapons we're so OP that one person managed to kill a Bronze Colossus by throwing a Fluffy Wambler at it. Bronze Colossus is exactly what it sounds like, a big angry bronze statue, and a Fluffy Wambler is a magical creature that is basically a ball made out of fur that lacks organs and is completely composed of purple blubber. Before the patch, you could kill the scariest enemies in the game with nothing more than a rock and good aim.
This game is the best. you know how rimworld touts itself as a story generator? This is where rimworld came from. Rimworld started as a fangame of DF... Everything is ok until it implodes. I tried to tell my BF about my current fortress... and he was like. you are blowing my mind. I cant believe you are making this shit up right now. I showed him the highlights in screenshots i took of the ensuing insanity and now he plays it
I'm really looking forward to playing the steam version! Thinking of playing the original again.
Pretty sure there was a bug in DF where upon a mother giving birth, the baby would ride the mother like a mount and then the mother would be completely helpless against the whims of a baby an end up dying of dehydration.
I mean come on, what a game. The level of detail in the simulation is mind boggling.
Dwarf Fortress is awesome. I bought my I7-7700 with the hope that I could run a 200 plus pet and visitor fortress. I sort of can, around 300 units with gear and things start to drop to about 30-40 FPS, but I remember playing games at 2.
It’s the grade of impact you can have on others or the world. But that’s complicated, when you want a product that have a controlled experience or the same experience for everyone. You have to trust the people to make it fun by themselves in a economy system that is build on reliable processes. You can’t predict where your product will go. The level of flexibility is not given in a triple A company. I think we will need 1-2 more generations of technological progress to make it cheap to produce such worlds. With lower cost comes lower risk and more investment.
Assertonsin: "This keybindings are insane."
Cdda: "Let me introduce myself."
Cdda was partially inspired by dwarf fortress, no
Also as far as i know, dwarf fortress has more keybindings and is more complex
