Psychic powers are more believable than something ignoring the square cube law.

They're goblins , and they have a camp. Orcs can come too. There are a lot of pies and bloodberries. It does not look anything like that image over to the left.

This game is in version 0.1 right now, and is already fully playable and actually sort of enjoyable. It appears to be one guy's efforts to make an accessible version of Dwarf Fortress with a focus on refining gameplay instead of how dwarves take shits (no offense o great Toady one) and a User Interface that is actually pretty great. It takes heavy cues from Dungeon Keeper and Anno as well as DF, and it's already sprouting a fairly dedicated community on SA and its own forums. Within 24 hours of the alpha's release it's already getting modded. This is definitely something to watch. Download it maybe! Give the very first version a go! If these barebones are any indication, you might be playing a slice of roguelike history.

It's going to give you some bizarre .dll error first, though. You can fix that by downloading VC++ from the link on the website.

So... I have never played Dwarf Fortress. Or any game with graphics less than... Lemmings. TIM. Similar games.

In an effort to remedy this, I've decided to give Goblin Camp a try.

So far, I've managed to make a wall, plot a farm, build a few other things, and get all but two of my goblins eaten by wolves.

I have no idea what the hell I'm doing, and yet at the same time, it's the most fun I've had since the Slater ate that cheezeburger.

If anyone can tell me what the hell to do, it would be appreciated. Especially a way to stop my goblins running across the entire map to pick up a single bone.

i don't think you can yet.

anyway, may as well try dwarf fort. get version 40D, it is the last perfectly stable version. it is similar but where it defers is it has several shit-tons of things but a much shoddier UI.
