About[edit]

I used to play 40d back in 2008 without much success. Maybe that version was a bit too hardcore for me. There were no DwarfTherapist at the time, and Mayday's graphic set was considered a blessing. My forts population had never exceeded 12 dwarfs so at some point I gave up. Adventure mode wasn't very playable at that time, too.

Then in 2013 I tried DF2012 and found it much more playable. I began with Quickstart guide and suddenly found my fort grown to 59 dwarfs in 1.5 years, so I started taking notes.
