am i going to need to follow a guide again to learn how to do anything
edit: is there anything special about the steam release? im used to the newbpack with tiles and using dwarf therapist
probably, the steam release is a full graphical interface overhaul
i forgor everything in the decade between when i played and when the steam version released so i basically had to relearn everything lmao
nah you're fine jump right into it. you can interact a little with the world while in fortress mode, now. open a map and see rumors, send out squads to raid other sites, that kind of thing.
Dwarf Therapist is no longer maintained, but the steam UI rework goes a long way towards replicating its functionality.
thats actually disappointing lol, i really liked using it. probably because trying to do any of that stuff without it was almost impossible haha
just having all the info laid out was incredible after trying to do it all in the game
I'm rawdogging it with ascii.
All I really miss is the predefined group assignment.
i remember it being brutal trying to make decisions about what dwarfs should have what job, because iirc in ascii you could only either list the full stats of one dwarf or compare directly one stat in multiple dwarfs? and the screen would redraw so you could never look at all the info in one place at the same time
