TheMightyBoops posted:I should install CK 2 and take another crack at it. All the stories I hear about games people have played are complete madness. In that game Greeks do it because it’s what Byzantium loves and it’s kinda their gimmick set of verbs, where like norsemen can raid as opposed to siege, etc, and I guess the problem is they didn’t program Greeks to weigh their options against their goals or relationships lol, but the purpose of either action in-game is to sterilize, terrorize or weaken your rivals basically.

I did one game as King of Mercia and because I made two marriage decisions (Once for my Mercian king and then once for one of his kids) started a chain of events that managed to turn the entire royal family of one of the small Welsh kingdoms next door completely Ethiopian over just a few generations.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:dwarf fortress rules never figured out how to play it though it's actually p easy once you're over the hump of the initial learning curve of the keybindings then it gets so complicated that you need like 2 or 3 third party apps to help you keep track of it unless you are Dwight Eisenhower

Yeah it's a weird curve. First you're deeply confused, then you figure out the keybinds and think "Oh that's not so bad", then you get a immigration wave of like 40 dwarves and have to assign all their jobs one by one taking into account their skillsets and personalities and start crying until you download dwarf therapist (I think the Steam version has the dwarf therapist UI built in if I remember right)

Once you realize you understand dwarf fortress you become deeply sad. Fun game though. Don't forget to take an axe with you when you embark.

I think Rimworld's come closest but I ruined my enjoyment of it with the "Vanilla Expanded" mod bloat followed by the genetics expansion, I just put too much poo poo in it and it became unwieldy (skill issue)

Wormskull posted:The funny code things I remember are when Dwarf Fortress was calculating like beard hairs and poo poo, and when HOI3 came out they calculated mud percentages on all 20000 provinces every tick. I fell asleep playing republican spain at max speed on launch day and when I woke up 4 hours later it was only half way into 1937. When birds laying eggs was patched in they made a mistake so geese would lay golden thrones instead. The patch that corrected it was corrected a day later because eggs' yolk and whites had been assigned the same mass by accident.

It’s cool that they programmed so much personality into characters you really should be accepting the demise of before you even learn how to play. That’s the Toady One stroke of genius.

Once I understood Dwarf Fortress I also understood that DFHack was indispensable. Luckily it's a Steam app now and can be installed effortlessly alongside it.

Dwarf fortress adventure mode players noticed that after some playtime the character's eyes were marked as haging a coating of tears. As it turns out, the adventure mode mechanics put the player in control of qn existing in world character, ans didn't turn off the emotion processor. Possessed by an external force, unable to control themselves, watching as they mercilessly fought and killed... they could only cry.

MarcusSA posted:People talk about CK2 a lot but what about CK3 is it just not as good? CK3 is better but it has a lot less of the whacky crazy off the walls stuff that CK2 has accumulated over almost two decades of patches and dlc. Plus it hasn't been around long enough to collect as many fun stories yet.
