You may encounter all of these types of inhabitants at some point in the form of wildlife, invaders, or rampaging forces of nature. You will have to find these on your own, if they exist.Įvery playable world will be inhabited by various creatures, civilizations, night creatures, and megabeasts (including titans and forgotten beasts) in addition to your dwarves. There may also be other Fun things underground that you can't see. There are also caverns and magma seas everywhere underground which your dwarves will most likely encounter, but you can't see these on the world map, or on the local map, for that matter, until you dig into them. Other surface features that are significant, but which aren't biomes, strictly speaking, are rivers, volcanoes, and caves. The main features of a world are biomes on the surface and stone layers underground, some of which may contain aquifers. Geographic features / Inhabitants / History Only one game may be going on in a world at the same time. After at least one world has been generated, you will be able to start the game. To play Dwarf Fortress in fortress mode, you must generate a world that includes a dwarven civilization - see World generation for detailed instructions. Make sure you don't delve too greedily and too deep, for many creatures dwell in the caverns below. Of course, every dwarf loves precious metals, but the only way to find them is to dig. Avoiding imminent death also requires providing the dwarves with plenty of food and alcohol, by way of farms above and below ground, while clothing from leather or cloth will keep them happy. Therefore players typically, but by no means necessarily, choose to expand into a thriving community with skilled workers, battle-ready warriors and nobles, creating ridiculous amounts of wealth like fine crafts, excellent armor, valuable furniture, decorated with precious gems, all the while protecting them from foes with deadly traps and a trained military. With this comes the need to keep your dwarves happy, as unhappy dwarves will cultivate some very unhealthy (yet surprisingly Fun) habits like murdering their colleagues.Īnother goal of sorts, programmed into the game, is creating a fortress that attracts the king/queen of your civilization. The most apparent goal is survival, as your endeavors at the chosen site will, for the moment, end if the last dwarf dies. This entails that few goals are imposed upon the player by the game. 4.1.2 Cursor movement, menu selection, and navigationįortress mode is considered a construction and management simulation game.2.1 Geographic features / Inhabitants / History.Rather than control individual dwarves, you design everything, and your dwarves will go about implementing your designs on their own. After preparations are complete and your hardy explorers embark, they'll be faced with the fortress site you picked down to every little detail from geologically appropriate stone types, to roaring waterfalls, to, for example, ornery hippopotami. In fortress mode, you pick an embark location, and then assign your seven initial dwarves some starting skills, equipment, provisions, and perhaps, animals to bring along. Fortress mode is a construction and management simulation of a colony of dwarves. Modding is not covered on this page.įortress mode is the more popular of three modes in Dwarf Fortress, with the other two being Adventurer mode and Legends mode, often the mode implied when one talks about Dwarf Fortress.
