    I play DF only intermittently. The reason why I'm not so obsessed with the game is probably because I'm impatient and also because the crude graphical interface is really showing its limitations by now.

    I can understand that gameplay elements seem to come first for the dev, but it really is annoying to have to wade through oceans of text to get things done.

    and thats my very very first fortress.... of fail. lol
    all the rocks lie in the tunnels, no floors or walls has been made... its just rock tunnels basically and therefor it look quite shitty...
    but either way, tilesets improves the game a fk ton. (some people prefer the old ascii cuz they are used to it though)

    I never said they were bad. But anyone who bitches about the UI without using a tileset needs a kick up the arse.

    The tilesets look okay, but the ASCII version looks like it would make my brain melt and never let me look at letters again without seeing wizards and unicorns.

    the 2 things i have to bitch about df is that
    1) the controls are totally unintuitive (i spelled it the wrong way, i know)
    once its +/- once its arrows, no order at all
    2) placement of the z axis indicators , they should be next to each other not on the same line since the indicate diffrent things

    great game anyways

    Modifying the controls is easy.

    Hmm.. It's easier in the alpha of the alpha one, the openGL one that also runs a bit faster on my laptop.
