A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity, and air masses to create fronts, clouds, storms, and blizzards. Hundreds of animals and monsters, many of which are randomly created for each world, as well as generated poetry, musical forms, instruments, and dances for your dwarves to practice and perform. It’s difficult to convey the depth of the generation. The combat model includes skills, body parts, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, pain, nausea, various poison effects, and much more. Observe what makes your civilization fall into eventual decline, and learn for next time… until something else inevitably goes wrong. In this complex construction/management/roguelike simulation, every generated world brings a unique challenge, whether it’s dwarves with their own simulated personalities or aquifers.
