You CANT get adventurers (I admitted long ago that the adventure mode was something else DF has that Gnomoria doesnt, but Gnomoria was never intended to be a roguelike), however you CAN get visitors (Ambassadors). *****You can build Temples and Libraries and taverns (with a few mods) in Gnomoria. IMHO Id put this with the first bit (The history) But yes, I will agree this is something Gnomoria doesnt have. These relationships dont really affect much besides having some more "flavor" to the game. *****These relationships are part of the huge history, so reiterating it doesnt really make it a new feature. Also you can break into caverns with lots of different fauna (Flora with certain mods). Tacyns Mod also makes it possible to use stone to help make steel. *****Gnomoria has several differing types of stones, many of which have different economic reasons to use them. *****Already said this, yes it does have a huge history, and this is one of the main attractions for Dwarf Fortress One definitely has more the feeling (in DF) that your fortress is embedded into a huge world outside (a feelin that is strengthened by the fact that, when your fortress succumbs to invaders, Megabeasts or Tantrum spials, you may visit it with an dventurer or send out an expeditions that plans to recover/resettle the fortress (think of Balins expedition to Khazad-Dûm in LotR))Ī good thing compared to DF (aside from the graphics) IMHO is, however that in Gnomoria you need to research things (whereas in DF you already have discovered everything that is to craft)Ī few clarifications (From my point of view) on Proteus' post. You can build temples, libraries and taverns and visitors from outside come in order to visit them (adventurers who visit your tavern, believers who visit your teples and also scholars who may ant to read academic books your fortresses library possesses (either crafted yourself or bought from raders) and/or discuss with the scholars of your fortress) for example being the aunt/uncle or grandparents) sometimes they may even have remote relatonships with others in the fortress which came in an immigration wave before. often whole families immirating, with father, mother and kids. Your dwarves form family bonds, get children and often enough, when you get a new wave of immigrants, they already have family relationships (i.e. not to forget that, while digging, you can break into huge underground caverns with their own Flora and Fauna. Stone is not just stone, but there are lots of types of rock (some of which may contain ores, othrs which may used for other economic rasons (like flux for creating steel)). Gorm looks terrified (if Gorm has some fear of roaches)) or the simulated history When your stonecarvers carve something or your crafters craft statues/statuettes, their products (if of high enough quallity) depict scenes which either reflect persons/events from the history of your fortress (like: Mayor Gorm Drunkenbeard is surrounded by large roaches. When you start you select your fortress position on this map (with informations about kind of stones, possible aquifiers, possible flora and other things and this ha a profound effect on your fortresses starting osition (and the type of traders and invaders/intruders you may get after sme time). (including realms that get created and vanish, Megabeasts tht go rampage, the simulated lifes of thousands of NPCs). You have a huge world with a history that is simulated till the year that you have decided to start with Gnomoria is only a small subset of the things DF offers.Įxamples for things DF has (and Gnomoria not) (and which I like): I played dwarf fortress first, I enjoyed it. If you find the game fun, but it's complexities daunting, then try this game. I would suggest trying out Dwarf Fortress if you are up for it. Very Complex Gameplay(even disposing of garbage has to be thought out and considered carefully, or everyone will die!) Very simple graphics (there are mods to improve it and they help a lot, but still very simple) Not much variety in NPC's In vanilla, you have Lizards, Honey Badgers, Bears, goblins, Ogres, Skeletons, Zombies, Beetles and Golems of the different flavors. No Crazy Gnomes (I miss the crazed inventors of Dwarf Fortress) Some times you really feel like trying to make a working lava forge, or tame some cave spiders, and that's not possible in Gnomoria) Simpler Growth (I consider this a negative sometimes. This is frustrating, because when you fortress gets big, thats when things really start to get fun) Less stable (For me at least when my fortress starts to get large, I start to get lag and crashes. Very Complex Gameplay (You can do so many things in Dwarf Fortress) The complexities of dwarf fortress can be exausting) Simpler Gameplay (I consider this a plus sometimes. It's hard to say better, here are my thoughts:
