Maybe you should explain it a little better, in part 5 your fortress has suddenly skipped and is better, you showed us how to assign farm space, not how to build it.

[captnduck]

No it doesn't. Part 5 explains how to build farms and then how to assign them. It doesnt talk about it being in the soil, but i know i explained that somewhere.

Ok after looking, i explained the soil thing in part 4.

[TotalVengance]

So I just basiclly dig out a section under the grass and stick a farm there?

[captnduck]

Yeah. And do yourself a favor and watch part 5 again.

your voice is so relaxing, i put on your videos when i'm waiting on renders, dozing off.. ahh love it.

[Skyrage01]

Great job, Cap :D

You should be proud of the fact that these videos will probably teach countless more people than what the Wiki etc could possibly manage.

[BanhammerNarc]

@GlassPike Yeah... exept theyre usually all dead by now.

On video number 21, I was already thinking that that will be the last video I will watch for this playlist. But then you decided to create a new world. Conclusion: continue watching and hope for a better fortress.

What so he just did as much as he could do with his fortress so he just abandoned it and started again? Is that how the game usually ends?

[Tarkus96]

This videos were like the bible of Dwarf Fortress for me, such a great game but you have to learn to love it.

[darkchiron]

Man, the life of a dwarf seems so cramp and dreary. Certainly not the kind of place for a human to live in.

Thanks alot for these videos. I've been looking into playing Dwarf Fortress again, since my last attempt was such a horrible failure because I couldn't figure out how to make anything work well. Maybe this time will fair better.

I just started playing this recently and your videos have been a fantastic help. It's so much easier than learning things from the wiki since everything can be explained as it's executed in the game. Thankyou for putting in the time and effort to make this.

That 3D fortress viewer is really neat. If you gave some specs on poly-count, unit-dimensions, etc. some of us 3-D modelers might be able to provide some content/assets to work with. (If using .3ds or .obj, that makes it easy.) Then again, maybe that needs to wait until the rendering engine you made is more optimized. It doesn't seem smooth compared to FPS games or newer RTSs with 3D like Supcom. Now if only something like this could be built onto DF itself and work as the UI during gameplay...

Yay! Allmot 4 hours of tutorial behind me!! xD

And about 60 hours of play + two small fortress : >

I actually abbandoned my fortress once, cos half of its dwellers died out of first cos a cook cooked all Plump Helmet Spawns into biscuits.... And the river have frozen. Half of the population during one winter!

Now i came back with 7 armed dwarfs and reclaimed it ; >

Thing's are going pretty well so far, any way.

Great thanks to Cpt'Duck for this avesome tutorial! Veeery usefull!: >

[Pwncakes1966]

I totally agree, lol. I listen to these while I'm grinding or doing anything on my computer lol.

[captnduck]

It depends on what im doing. At the moment not much, but other times daily because of teamspeak/ventrilo.
