DWARF FORTRESS
Scandanavian War Machine:
alright, so thanks to many glowing recommendations and lots of silly forum posts (not to mention the fact that Minecraft, a game I love, has been compared to DF quite a bit) I have downloaded this game and begun mucking about.
I tried to figure it out on my own, but couldn't, and ended up downloading a starting game-folder with a pre-built world and a texture pack installed, to go along with a sort of "starting guide" I found. There's quite a lot going on here, it's pretty intense. Finally figured out how to make stairs work after trapping one of my miners underground and almost dehydrating him to death; I borked up the first set of stairs and couldn't get them to go back up, so I had to make another staircase nearby and tunnel to him. He's okay, though. whew

I use the May Green tileset version of Dwarf Fortress from here. It's 0.31.12, same as the current version on Bay 12 Games. Saves should work fine between the same version with different tilesets. No mods, no hacks (Although most hacks shouldn't affect the quality of the final save, I think, unless they create something that's impossible in the other persons version of Dwarf Fortress).
We could either embark with a random party or be all careful and choosing. Random parties can kinda suck (I keep getting gem setters and seigedwarves, which are useless right at the beginning). I don't mind genning the world and playing the first year, probably tomorrow evening after I get home from work.
Actually fuck it, world gen takes literally no time on my dad's PC.
I will make a new thread.
SWM: You can only make stairs by designating if you are mining out fresh rock or soil at the same time. Once you've got a void, you need to construct stairs through the building menu: (b)uild, then (C) for the floors/walls/stairs submenu, iirc.

Been having fun in adventurer mode.
So far I've been assassinated by goblin crossobowmen twice by a bolt in the face (probably because I keep killing every goblin child I come across), dragged by alligators into the water and drowned. But on the other hand I had one hugely successful adventurer who killed a bronze colossus with a bronze dagger by repeatedly denting it in the head, and hacked a dragon to little bits until it bled to death.

You guys are making this sound AWESOME, but it'd probably be a time sink that I can't really afford. Sooner or later, though, I'm sure I'll give it a shot.
