Yeah, one of the main differences to get your head round between DF and RW is the verticality. For example, doing stuff like routing water into your fortress (usefull access to fresh water for hospitals, irrigation, etc without having to go outside), suddenly becomes a lot more complex when you have to consider traversing up and down. Not to mention the unexpected challenges/benefits that may bring... (Dwarves enjoy watching waterfalls. They do not enjoy a torrent of pressurised water instantly flooding their fortress and drowning them all)

Thanks Lee!

That vid never fails to make me crack up. Funny thing is I had actually completely forgotten about it until you reminded me of it at the meet!

Had my spare pickaxes stolen by monkeys and then all my dwarves got depressed from having to drink water because I forgot to set up a brewing still.

Compared to the OG version it's a lot more user friendly out of the box (and visually appealing, although that could be solved with tilesets for the original). While we have seem to have lost some fuctionality on minor parts (possibly overlooked), and some keyboard shortcuts no longer work fully as mouse selection is required, it's still the same old Dorf Fortress I've loved the past decade or so, just so very much prettier.

Honestly I was just happy to fling 25 quid to the Adams brothers.

A lot of bullshit kills of me suddenly make so much more sense!

Fingers crossed the FAL is in the multiplayer.

From the looks of it, they couldn't get licenses to use real-world names of most firearms.

Ta, I'll try that if I can be bothered to do another playthrough 😄

Not finished the campaign yet (about to do Chicago), but on the whole I've enjoyed it, barring one or two bits in particular.

had a look at acheivements and I'm not entirely sure how you're mean to finish Alone without firing a gun. Some bits look impossible to get past without alerting enemies.

I was surprised that I managed to get a full 11 laps out of a single set of Softs, although as @slamminbones can attest, it was getting very uncertain going into corners at the end 😅

I shall be there this week!

Just put it on the lowest difficulty setting - you can literally takedown the 3 enemies in the alley with melee and not die the AI is that bad. There are ways to do it on veteran but it requires lots of research, luck and patience plus collecting crucial crafting items.

Still on the fence about getting this straight away. Loved MW2019, especially the campaign though. Hm.
