Dwarf Fortress - Hive Tutorial - 3Speak

Hey folks!

I had mentioned a while back in a prior blog that I'd been thinking of creating a Dwarf Fortress tutorial for my fellow Hive users.

A lot of folks I've talked to about DF have commented something along the lines of: "Isn't that the notoriously complex videogame that's been in development for like 20 years?!" and yes, it is. But, while it has a lot of nuance and depth, I don't think it's actually all that complicated. As such, I wanted to show off how I typically aproach a fortress in my gameplay.

If you enjoy colony simulations and building things, this is a really fantastic game. It's a lot more accessible than I think folks realize, and while you can get into some absolutely crazy depth... you don't need go to wild to have a good time. Building cool forts, fighting off monsters and giant animals, and making a thriving civilization is achievable for anyone!

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about:

• Some important notes for where to create your first civilization
• Some tasks you'll want to set up early to mange food, drink, and livestock
• My strategy for workshops and storage areas

I hope you'll take some time and consider watching this series of Hive-User focused tutorials, and maybe snag the game and join me in seeing how far we can push our Dwarven civilization before we dig too greedily and too deeply!

Until next time folks, happy gaming!
