DWARF FORTRESS THREAD

No.14747255 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hey /tg/, how are your megaprojects going? Having enough FUN? Cuz I'm not.

I love this game, I really do, but it needs to throw me a fucking bone here. I'm a little over 3 years into my current fortress on a terrifying beach/grassland with an aquifer and a goblin fortress perilously close with two open unguarded entrances to unexplored caverns. I've got around 110 dwarfs I'm purposely allowing to hold parties all year round, I'm ignoring all mandates, and my forts only defense consists of 5 hammerdorfs of varying skill fully kitted out on steel, and we just hit magma and adamantine. No doubt such a fort should be rife with FUN, yeah? Well so far my only assailants have been 2 zombie honey badgers (1 shotted by my commander) 5 zombie elephants (annihilated by a caravan guard before my dorfs even saw them) 5 goblin snatchers (cage traps, put em in a pit) a giant toad and some other shitty cave monster. No ambushes, sieges, skeletal whales, subterranean invasions, megabeasts, or forgotten beasts. Shit's boring man, I'm thinking about joining the circus or installing a difficulty mod if this keeps up.
