This article is about an older version of DF.

The basic point of Fortress mode is:

Build/Template:L a place for your dwarves to work and live
Ensure survivability by providing Template:L and Template:L/Template:L for every dwarf
Provide basic comfort by building Template:Ls/Template:Ls, a Template:L
Defend your fortress (Template:Ls/Template:L)
From the way Toady implements some features, have a lot of (twisted) Template:L
Accumulate Template:L
Build and sustain a bustling full 200 dwarf fortress (this is already a bit "optional")

Most people prefer to do some/most of these steps:

Expand the cave to have own specific areas for specific purposes (Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls etc)
Create various items for exporting (Template:L)
Create a working Template:L
Dig out the wealth of the mountain/ground (Mainly Template:L, Template:L, Template:Ls, Template:L etc)
Create luxury for your dwarves and a generally grand and nicely smoothed fortress
Generally make your fort self-sustaining and self-supplied
Experiment with and experience the full depth of all game features
Complete megalomaniac construction projects
Kill Elves
Create the worlds largest Brewery
Do it all over again with one skill-less dwarf in a Template:L biome
Profit!

Beyond this, it's really up to your own imagination what you wish to do. After all, this game is an open-ended game. The possibilities are endless.

If you feel the need to play a more goal-based game, check out the list of Template:L for suggestions.
