#Dwarf fortress embark skills strategy how to#

The location screen is made up of three tiles, starting from the far right one this is a zoomed out view of the world map with the yellow cross marking the region you are currently looking at. I digress, lets select Dwarf fortress and crack on. Both descriptions are a bit vague as its based on stuff I seem to remember reading (but could just have easily made up!). Legends allows you to see the history of the previous fortresses and other civilisations generated on the world. There are two other game modes but I haven’t tried either yet, adventurer allows you to play as a dwarf in an RPG style and explore your world including any previously abandoned fortresses. Hit enter to select this and on the following screen select Dwarf Fortress and hit enter again. As this should be your first go there will hopefully just be the one map on there with a region number. If you abandon a fortress you can re-use the world. The next screen is a list of game worlds you have available to play on at the moment, as I said in the previous post you can only have one active game per world. Don’t worry about my screenshot having the Continue Playing option and yours not, its just because I have old games on other worlds that I can jump straight into.T
