I’ve tried playing with the default tileset and it hurt my brain.
Does it get better?
I personally couldn’t get into the game until the steam release. I just watched other runesmiths carve runes into a computer and make dwarves happen.
Even the better tile sets pale in comparison to the steam release. I just wish the steam release hadn’t happened under such dire presences.
Play the steam version, then you’ll be able to easily pick up the ascii version
It does. I don’t see the ASCII code anymore. Just dwarf beards in blond and brunette, there is a dog, here a plump helmet.
Joke aside, it really does get better. Usually when I start smoothing rock pathways, things really come together.
And when you start building gold roads
With microcline flooring in the rooms
Uhh, decadent. I like it!
I need to squirrel myself away for a weekend and get stuck in. I know I’ll love it because it’s the kind of game I enjoy - the entry point feels a bit higher than I’d expected though!
Rock and stone! It got way easier for me, when I started to just rely on plump helmets. Dwarfs would eat them raw and drink them brewed. That got me over the first winters.
