All my Dwarf Fortress games were horrific dystopias. Full-on police states optimized for the production and export of lead children's toys (they are enchanted by our more ethical works). Then new unskilled arrivals would wait in a room with retractable spikes before they met anyone. It was someone's job to pull a lever all day. Then the clothes would be exported (they are enchanted by our more ethical works). Everyone left was either in the army or a skilled worker confined to a 2x2 room containing a bed, table, chair, and statue of the mayor. The doors locked from the outside. Newer versions have made this strategy less productive I think -- I haven't really kept up. At the time a single death could send your fortress into a fatal spiral of depression and it worked pretty well though. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nothing like castrating half of the family tree because of that one time your brother tried to break up your empire! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago You may have misread my post.
