To name a few things, that DF has over gnomoria:ġ.The world gen has a large influence on your fortress. So I’d like a serious break down of what DF brings over Gnomoria. And that’s about it.Ī lot of the “interesting” stuff just seems more like fluff to breathe some life into the world but mechanically does nothing to affect actual gameplay. Other than also having an adventure mode, having a larger world in which you simply pick a location to set down in(but you can sort of do that by changing offset in Gnomoria’s settings), having a world history generated (something I’ve seen done in hundreds of D&D tools for generating campaign backgrounds for the lazy DM), and having the semi persistence where if you settle in the same spot there is a chance you will find ruins of you old fortress(never seen this myself only heard it mentioned). So like 1 second after you type look at console the info is out of date and you have to look again.īack to the topic at hand though. You want hard, try flying a space ship in 3D combat with commands that have to be typed out and readouts that only display the “current” information. I even played on many MUSHes and MUDs, one of which had 3D space combat all in text & ANSII graphics. And I grew up in the era of BBSes with ANSII graphic games such as TradeWars 2002. Over the years I’ve tried playing DF many times but never got that far as the UI was just unmanageable. But seriously what does DF hold over Gnomoria besides being a lot more complex and unintuitive.
