Every tick causes the in-game clock to advance by a specific quantity of time that varies depending on the game mode. In adventurer mode, 1 tick moves time forward by 0.5 seconds, whereas in fortress mode this causes 72 seconds to pass by. Thus, the simulation of time runs 144 times faster in fortress mode on a per-tick basis [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8185557#msg8185557]. This disparity is a game design choice, with the faster pacing enabling fortress mode players to more easily observe their fort over the years, witnessing events that'd take an immense amount of real-life time to unfold if the adventurer mode scale were to be used instead. | Every tick causes the in-game clock to advance by a specific quantity of time that varies depending on the game mode.
