Revision as of 03:06, 11 August 2014

Some of this article still assumes that the fortress will start in Spring, but that's not necessarily true any more. I don't know how to fix it without making things more complicated though. --Dree12 (talk) 20:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

I decided to go with "in the first six month", "by your third season", or similar. --Dree12 (talk) 02:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Change name to "Fortress Mode Quick start"?

I feel like this page should be moved to Fortress mode quick start, not only to be consistent with the name Adventure mode quick start, but also to make it so that the name is more descriptive. "Quickstart guide" could mean anything, really. (For me at least, the current title feels like the name for some hypothetical "how to get DF running" guide, moreso than a fortress mode guide.) As a bonus, the new name doesn't imply that fortress mode is somehow the "default" or "main" mode of play :) . —Lue (talk) 02:42, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Makes sense to me. —Lethosor (talk) 18:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
The game is called 'Dwarf Fortress' and the game mode at issue is called 'Dwarf Fortress' so I think it's reasonable to imply that this is the default mode of play. I don't actually care what the article's title is, but I don't really think anyone is confused by the status quo and if they are I don't think they can handle anything more challenging than legends mode. So I guess this is a vote against.Qalnor (talk)

Articles not Transferring over between versions

I was just browsing through this guide when I noticed that the "starting site" and "preparing carefully" articles are red links. Those pages existed for the last version of this article, but apparently they haven't been transferred over to DF2014 (that's the current version?). I really don't know much about this game or how wikis work, but for anybody else who views this guide it might be useful to see about getting those pages updated so the "where to start" article doesn't have red links in really important places.

Apparently subpages weren't copied over. I'll work on this tomorrow, hopefully. —Lethosor (talk) 04:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
