Yo, what happened to the old thread? Anyway the new Dwarf Fortress is available for Mac.

It was deleted with all the rest, obviously T_T

But anyway, new version.
Will not kill old saves.
Bugfixes.

THOR killed all the long posts I've made.. Grr, why didn't you admins make backups?
At any rate, yeah, I didn't like this at first, then I figured out how to use adventure mode.. somewhat.
Now I just go on a rampage and kill a bunch of people... There's always a crossbowman or an archer that takes me down... Arrows and bolts can one-shot you.. Kinda overpowered if you ask me...

Available for Mac now! I'll be getting that.

Edit: Hmm doesnt seem to be working. Ah well.

Also we need at least four people (including me) so we can do a fortress succesion game.
IE: Each person does one in-game year and then passes it on.

I'll take part, though I'll probably destroy it all by mistake.

I would like a part, but I'm currently occupied by Musical Chairs and my own adventure game, so no. Aww carp.

(Oh yeah, I'm using word Carp for reason. All you DF-players know why.)

~Fippe

What the hell was that?

Carp are the fell terrors that end many a brave dwarven life.

Anyway the mac build works fine for me. Anyone know if save files are compatible from PC to mac?

They probably are but I really have no idea.

It takes a while to get past a year (my guess about 12 hours realtime), so far I've only managed one and a half seasons before I gave up, had a somewhat good supply of food, but I don't know why, none of my seeds seemed to grow, also none of my dwarves reproduced (does that take 9 in game months?)

and that was all in one sitting, mining seemed to take ages, so I couldn't dig the huge river diversion and some of my dwarves were thirsty + I think I ran out of rum.

I will start a map then tell me if you like it.

edit: reminded by the carp talk; in adventure mode a sturgeon pike carp and a few other fish DROWNED whilst I was playing which I found rather odd.

ok, finaly got aroud playing this for a while, this time I lasted until the summer.

noob question:

is it possible to set up walls?
Imagine that you dug a larger entry then what you originally intended, and wanted to cover one of the sides. Is that possible?

It is now! For a while you couldn't.

[b]uild-[C]onstructions-[w]all

Unfortunately you can only build one square at a time, which is tedious. Also, dwarves can't construct diagonally so generally you have to do corners first. You can build towers if you have the patience.

Allright, I've just had my first seige ever. And I realized that I needed to prepare a ton more. I lost 4 archers, 2 wrestlers and now have 8 wounded(lungs) war dogs that will not die, or heal.

Although I did save the fortress.

Off to year 6!

The starting dwarves won't have babies with eachother.
When the first immigrants come, sometimes they bring wives, and they can have babies.

I think it takes quite a long time before any babies appear, really.
