Lately i've been playing a lot of Rougelikes, namely DoomRL. Dwarf Fortress, always the exception in the past, is my latest conquest. Its less a rouge-like and more a tamagachi. Conquest in the terms of learning *how* to play, as this game has the steepest learning curve known to man.

Anyway, I'd start a new Fortress in the morning, get my dwarves initially set up, and then let it run at work all day, and see the aftermath.

Its always interesting to see what happens in a procedural game.

Last iteration, I came back to discover my dwarves had children (oh nice). However, they lost them, and were spending the time they weren't sleeping or getting sh*tfaced looking for them. A dwarf had a temper-tantrum, and everything was generally chaos. I was surprised, however, that they were *still* alive.
