Every time i try to download this, it refuses to finish and im left with a corrupted file. I REALLY want to, because i'm told this game is RIDICULOUS to get into, but CRAZY FUN. I was told the only way to get into it successfully would be to download this, but every time i try, it never finishes. I'll try it a couple more times, but if it doesnt work, could you email me the file not in .zip format? I'm FearsomeClarinet@gmail.com EDIT: yeah, its seriously not working, i have like 20 corrupted .zip files in my downloads, PLEASE, email the file to me in a folder instead of a .zip, i dont know if that would fix it, but .zip files wont even open at all if they dont finish, so i figure thats the best coures of action :-( EDIT EDIT: WHEW, finally got it working, and am working on my first fortress:). Epic game, i cant believe its completely free, AND is updated massively and frequently. And good job on the LNP, it seems to be very well done, it helps a lot to have everything right there, you should be all of ze prouds. :)
Well, whoever told you this is the key to unlocking the secrets of dwarf fortress, they're full of shit. I learned how to play on my own, pretty easily. Alot of people just tend to blow the learning curve WAY out of proportion, and say this is the most complicated game in the world just because the dwarves are represented with smiley faces. Although I will make a note on the download speed, for some reason it's slow as shit.
Be honest to yourself- the learning curve of this game is terrifying, regardless of graphics. I mean really, once someone figures out how to build a well, who's expecting the water to have pressure and flood the fortress? Or for gobbos to decide to ambush your woodcutter at that moment? Along with a bronze colossus showing up at the same time, while the dead woodcutter is reanimated by that necromancer?
Case in point; being able to easily understand what is going on helps a ton, regardless of actually knowing what'll happen or what can go wrong.

On another, more agreeing note, you really don't need anything like this to get into the game; I mean, they're nice and all, but once you get involved with the community playing DF, you don't want to have to admit to them that you're disabling aquifers, temperature, and invasions- although those are a few things that are useful to get rid of while trying to figure out how to feed the little pricks...
