Dwarf Fortress 2012

While reworking my magma trap today, some doofus dwarf decided to remove the grate from under my baroness, who promptly fell into the Fat Decimator... so now my fortress is not a barony anymore. Easy come, easy go... that's how things are in Dwarf Fortress.

Damn you all for making me go back to this game. :P

On a side note, Mayday modified his graphics pack slightly (it's now a lot cleaner than it was before). :)

So after trying and failing to get Stonesense installed on my Ubuntu, I tried it out on Windows instead to great success!

Here's a shot of my fortress entrance with the windmills that power a water mist generator:

It's early spring now, so some pools are still frozen.

Here's a shot of my FatDecimator. Most recently it claimed the lives of two of my military dwarves when I accidentally closed a bridge on top of them:

The snaky corridor is the one that gets flooded by magma. The pumps to the right of it pump magma in and out. The waterwheels towards the upper left power the entire thing. I used to power them directly from the river, but it was frozen half the year, so I moved them to an internal water source.

Here's a shot of the river, with my abortive plan to keep it unfrozen during the winter. I routed some magma under it to create a giant magma pool (you can see a cross section of it on the bottom right):
{"name":"605993","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/2\/721b74d04506e79afae6e8b17431ea75.png","w":1212,"h":802,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/2\/721b74d04506e79afae6e8b17431ea75"}605993
The shallow magma in the middle was a magma accident where I accidentally flooded a part of my fortress with magma... no lives were lost, but I did lose a bunch of wood.

I'd play the game if it looked like that (and had a normal GUI). I'd even buy it.
