>>12285293Well, DF would not be that hard if not its interface. It's a nice and pretty much detailed gaem, tho. It only takes a bit long to master the basic hotkeys. It all will be much MUCH easier after you get used to controls. The problem is the late game, when you have to mange lots of stockpiles, mechanisms and always move across tonns of different menus. I used to play it from time to time, I can't say I was an ultimate dwarflord.
What else can I say? Choose the embarking place wisely, don't leave your dwarfs on water-plump-helmet diet, read guides, decorate your tabern, use dwarf therapist, wash your hands before meal, love your parents, don't talk to strangers on the internet.
