- Disclaimer: Dwarves can't actually be taught to independently hate nobles or operate elaborate noble-removing rooms. Still, it's nice to dream of a world without barons banning exports of the exact item you have spent the last couple hours building up to sell right before you can pull the trigger.

when boredom drives you to start a class revolution
Honestly there's probably a socialist who's made mention of how boredom can contribute to revolutionary movements somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm reminded of The Conquest of Ale, the video essay which introduced me to dwarf fortress, in which the solution to nobles was to turn them into a vampire and seal them in a room neither able to die nor be let out.
Anarcho-Communism bad
@@Axodus I mean, you're more than welcome to think that and I'm not fidna stop you (cause I'm not here to start a flame war in hoodie hair's comment section).
But, consider that the noble heirarchy system in dwarf fortress is an aspect of the game designed such that it increases the difficulty of maintaining a fortress's long term viability.
@@ookazi1000 noble hierarchies aren't as bad but are still pretty bad
Noble hierarchies can easily devolve into being worse than both though.
@@ookazi1000 what does fidna mean?
@@LochyP Fidna originates from AAVE and as a morphed contraction of "fixing to." The approximate evolutionary chain would look something like this: Fixing to →Fixin' ta →Fi'n'ta →Fitna →Fidna.
It basically mean either "I (figuratively) itching with desire to do X," or "I'm going to do this because I really want to."
Since it's next to a not here what it means is, I've got no interest in arguing with you about this and I'm not gonna.
I love these kinds of storytelling videos. Getting all the interesting bits without the downtime in between.
4:15 I think the Spearmaster casually biting the forgotten beast needs more attention :D
love the shorter DF videos you do. full playthroughs are fine but i love how quick and punchy your work is
thank you!
This video was really good! Great work as always! The seven minutes are perfect for your style of video making!
thank you!
For a non Dwarf Fortress Player and someone who is definitely checking out the steam version, you make such great content that is persuding me more to try out dwarf fotress. Thank you so much for everything, and please keep uploading
Absolutely adore your videos, only discovered your channel 2 days ago but loving it~
Im liking this series, my vanilla world ive been playing for almost 30 hours now just lost one of its major forts to a forgotten beast, I was surprised when you managed to keep 3 at bay, my best men and army could not even beat 1
Some are a lot worse than others poison spores will wipe a fort every time as they spread. you can dig a channel put shallow water in it at every entrance to clean their feet but once poison spores get in they'll be everywhere x.x
@@roybobxiv8996 is that functioning as intended tho?
@@SolarFlareAmerica lol who knows I think it is tbh
I first watched this video thinking you made it speechless, understood everything thanks to tight editing. Rewatched with sound. 20/10
Another great video. Never did more than dabble in dwarf fortress but these make me wanna give it a go
This one didn't end in a catastrophic nervous breakdown!
*They did a great job with the game...*
And it doesn't absolutely have anything to do with the fact that he's getting better...
Congrats thou! On making a succesful metropolis that is.
Build wider hallways. Most of your problem with framedrops is from the calculations happening whenever your dwarves have to pass each-other in the halls.
I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for a few months now but I wanna say that this was the video that inspired me to get the game
What a great video and series. Definitely will be keeping tabs on your playthroughs!
Just binged your backlog of videos, love the style of videos you make keep it up! Wouldn’t mind a longer format video too! Thanks for sharing your stories with us.
This is really good, becuase of your videos I wanna give the new dwarf fortress a go
it can be really difficult at times but it is so worth it!
I love how the creativity to develop torture methods to dethrone the leaders can be a useful skill in this game.
The squads not going after the Forgotten Beast was probably due to the smoke/fire, flaming tiles are impassible, and the game does not like pathing through smoke.
these storytelling videos are why i have any interest in this game. while a majority of the videos around DF seem to be mostly tutorials, they lack the characterization and narrative examples required to enjoy the game. you do a wonderful job of this and i greatly enjoy all your DF videos. keep up the good work.
this is pretty much exactly what im looking for in dwarf fortress content, thanks for the effort dude.
Very nice to watch and listen and easily digestible videos, looking forward to any more in the works
Hey hoodie hair! Loving the Dwarf fortress vids and super excited to see what you come up with for the steam version. Keep up the great work :)
kkkk u did handle a hydra with that fort, that's impresive.
i lost access to my other account but somehow hoodie hair is still in my recommended praise be the algorithm
Dwarf Fortress: the game where you kill monsters not to defend the lives of the fort, but to free us from the FPS drop.
I was curious and had to look....there's actually a Mountainhome% speedrun category 🤯
What is more grandiose? Making another base for a civilization with many, or to make a stronghold that outshines the rest of that civilization? Changing the history of that civilization the better.
*Me hearing about the hospital description* Yeah...that sounds about right for dwarf fortress
I just discovered your videos and they're amazing, this bite sized highlight content is perfect for DF
Currently running a metropolis fort, my goal right now is to get some holdings so that i can send the less specialized dwarves away and get some of my precious frames back
The steam version is my first time with the steam release and i think i need an opinion on someone experienced because i think i accidentally chose the best location to make my fortress,it is a grassland with a good amount of trees a small river lots of ponds closest other beings are 6 days travel region full of friendly dwarves and some human hamlets across the sea the underground is full of ore with a ton of gold the closest thing to enemies are some kobolds that just pass by and do nothing and a cyclops and giant that easily died to my professional military composed of mercenaries attracted to my tavern that joined for soldiering,i seriously expected more challenge but with this many food and no problems i have focused on testing out the mechanics of bulding mechanisms
yeah that sounds like a pretty good spot. if you want a challenge, all I'll say is dig deeper. I don't want to spoil anything but there is stuff down there that will be a challenge to even the most hardened mercenaries!
@@hoodiehair oh i have heard about what lies deep i got i tried but didnt get into dwarf fortress before and read a couple stories i might trie dwelling deep but tough my military has mace lords and legendary speardwarf its composed of a single 7 people squad because i havent got migrants since 25 pop my 90 pop comes all from performers and its now very multicultural we have humans elfs goblins etc only issue right now is im not able to produce much wine but it hasnt cause any deaths or even tamtrums i got about 10 deaths and mostly come from strange moods wich if im being honest i will trade the dwarven child for a legendary bone artifact any day so not bad really
@@hoodiehair in my first run, 20 hours in now, I have been attacked so many times, by titans, bandits, raids and animals, and whenever I dealt with one, a new attack occured, now it's been calm for a year, since one of the boars that spawned, spawned ontop of a tree, and he is still stuck there, and havent been attacked since. I made a statue of a cat killing a minotaur, since him and a hammer dwarf killed the minotaur alone, also the cat joined in killing a titan scorpion with 3 horns and the cat also fathered 9 children. The worst attack were from som agitated giant turtles that spawned in my moat, and 10 dwarves drowned trying to fight or being knocked unconscious trying to cross. My tomb has 50+ dwarves, with a slab or s coffin, and several others missing or fled, it's been a fun ride.
@@henningheigard6907and then theres me attacked by a weak giant and a weak cyclops in 105 and 106
@@dontcareaboutthatok7565 lucky 😁
You can use burrows to tell dwarves where to stand.
If you make hallways not one tile wide you will have much better fps. Still, not a lot that can be done about the temp calcs of the caverns burning down.
To be fair, I'd just walled up Meli and rerouted neigboring passages for the time being. Wonder how long would it last there. If long enough? could even replace usual wall with glass wall.
Can’t wait for more forts in this world, definitely if you reignite their civilization.
This is the first dwarf story I’ve seen from DFP! Loving the video man :)
your voice is soothing my friend. great video!
dude this same thing happened to me! a fire demon came into my base and i wounded it enough to make it lose its ability to stand and it was also blind so it just was in the middle of my fort floundering around blowing smoke and fire. my dwarfs also wouldn’t attack it because i think it was too hot for them to go near. that’s what someone said online. had to wipe bc it killed my frames
To make my work with nobles more worthwhile, I make them all join the military. If they are going to lead, they are going to be along side those they rule in the ongoing wars
Another method is using a raised drawbridge to crush the noble underneath. Good ol Atom Smasher leaves no traces.
LoL, "put her in there, with the forgotten beast".
Ayy, I'm a new subscriber, great videos but as always a bit short for my taste as I like your content and would like to enjoy it for longer, but I get that Dwarf Fortress takes a lot of time to play/find interesting scenarios for videos and editing takes a lot of time as well I am guessing.
yeah, generally for each minute of video I put in about 3 hours split between playing dwarf fortress, writing and recording a script, and editing the video together. So they are pretty time consuming already lol!
Great video making
You are a Legendary Videocrafter
No gods, no masters.
man oh man, ur content is flourishing bro
so how do you lower the raid population threshold from 80 to like...30?
Regarding your forgotten beast --- sota means 'war' in Finnish.
I like how the main reason to kill forgotten beasts was the lack of fps xD
Have you considered putting the trap door under the bed of the noble?
i had that same problem with a fire beast and none of my soldiers went to attack it. It's probably a bug related to dwarves not wanting to run into smoke or fire
You can just make a burrow on a sacrifice bridge and assign the noble to it so that they don't leave
killing nobles hasn't been relevant for a few versions now. It just destroys the stress-relief that shouting at nobles provides and leads to fort collapse
Workshops without doors? You are a true risk taker, sir!
I'm patiently waiting for the Mac port to arrive. Hopefully, it'll be released soon. I can't wait to play the Steam Edition of DF 💖 Great video, by the way. I like your format & style :-)
If you want, you can run it in a Windows vm, but the port should be out sometime in 2023 so I can understand of you're fine waiting.
Dang those Beasts look so cool.
Sheesh, the countess was fast as hell 6:02
Feed the beasts with nobles 🤩🤣🤣🤣
+999 extra social credit, camarade
It looks like the countess escaped into the cavern layer. What happened to her?
she took Sota on a journey up and down the stairs but it eventually managed to catch her in the hallway. I think you can see her final moments in the last couple seconds of the video!
Novgorod Republic moment.
This rocks!
God bless you comrade
that's slow? my game always goes on 30 FPS

For context it appears that no matter how big or small your starting civ is, you don't get immigrants for several seasons after the first two guaranteed waves. I deliberately made sure to pick a dwarven civ with 6k+ pop and set up my place right next to them and still I didn't get immigrants for several seasons. It might be a bug or oversight in how your fortress' wealth is calculated.
I'm planning to start making something similar to this on my channel. Love the content !
Just learned about your channel! Good stuff! Keep it up sis! 😄
Power to the people ✊
get you some algorithm boosting comments comrade
Love your cadence and voice :)
I love this channel.
Noble-slaying is a fun activity for the whole fortress!
What is a workable max pop on the steam version?
from what I've seen it seems to run better on other people's systems so I'm not too sure - but I plan on reducing my embark to a 3x3 and limiting the pop to 100 and I think that should be good for me
4:54 United States lore
Really like these story-driven series, very captivating.
Also, how do you put individual items in a desired spot or chest? I didn't know you could do that
if you build a pedestal you can click on it and select an item to be displayed
@@hoodiehair oh, thanks. That's much simpler than I thought
based premise
why make a mountainhome when you can make a forgotten beasthome
love to be on the cutting edge of a new trans dwarf fortress sensation :)) great videos all of them!
FREEDOM ! ! !
Ah yes, regicide.
Dry soldier 77
awesome videos man
Ha! I like the idea of just splitting off from your starting civilization because you frankly outgrew them. Eat the rich lol
Seize the means of dwarvism!
Had with with a church, set them up kitted them out. Immigrants came, a big wave of them, doubled my pop just about. Guess what they asked for? Mhm, yeah another church. So I had to kit them out too. Well, I was cheering my little dudes along until the nobility started rolling in. And, my top dude, my head of state and of church started getting a little reachy. A crafts dwarf was accused of order of production violation against the head. No punishment. But my first death at a hundred pop was an open murder of a dwarf in the tavern. No one spoke rumors about that execution in the tavern below the church. The Roc was easily dealt with the well militarized squads, but the church's military leader was hurt. Out of 20 spear dwarves, I only could have imagined this 'hunting accident' or their boldness making them slip.
do all people playin DF have super weak cpus, or is the game really super heavy on your cpu??
the game is heavy on the cpu but it is especially bad for me because my cpu is nearly a decade old at this point
Single thread simulating the entire world weather and your fort, used to be old single core cpus did better on old DF, I'm running at 20fps when "slow" on a Pentium 2, 2 gig of ram cpu gfx laptop as long as I don't have a large world and too many civs it runs good enough for me. I'm just too lazy to build a pc and too tight to pay for a prebuild. Correction a centrino 2 xD
i really liked this video :] !!!
whats your pc specs? sorry i just wanna know since ure pc is taking a hit on all those calculations
it is about 8 years old: i7-4770k, GTX 660 Ti, 16 GBs of RAM, not running off an SSD or anything
@@hoodiehair goddamn dude I hope you get a new cpu soon for DF but if its still workin for you im glad its still bringing u joy
Only the french did the right thing
Some say we're still feeling the effects of the liberalism that particular regime change started and I'd say it's not going well
@@roybobxiv8996 what are you talking about?
@@HYEOL how long do you think the game of regeme change been going on?

i _dig_ it
keep it up!
Should I buy DF?
Based
Holy based
I loved every second of it.
I think the nobles are a bit of a bitch, would like the idea that you don't have them but the dwarves in the society can issue demanda and requests. Like how's about they request building a swimming pool, they have a small chance to die but it lvls their swimming somthey have greater chances to survive accidents, or even weight training rooms, maybe museum and you have to hunt for relics for it.
Whys it feel like every DF player seems to build really crappy dwarf houses? I always make mine at least 3x3
Nice houses are alright until you need to make them in a rush due to a migrant wave… also some of us people are extremely cruel to our dwarves
Ah yes, this was inspired by the famous socialist writer, Kôrl Môrkz
monarchy is overrated anyways
