Blitz Plays Dwarf Fortress - Ep. 1 - The Embark
This episode focuses on the introduction of Dwarf Fortress, the templates and maps we will be basing our designs off of, and the preperation of the embark.
This series will chronicle the re-building of the Mines of Moria from Lord of the Rings. We will be using a map and a template (links below) to construct a functioning fortress based on the work of many Urists. The playthrough will be done in version 0.34.11 and will air on Mondays.
Dwarf Fortress is a single-player fantasy game. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world.
