You can get a good feel for how ridiculously complex the simulation of Dwarf Fortress is just by reading the bugs: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/vi

  The best bug was an old one where carps would get stronger from swimming, which, living in water, they did constantly, thus making them invincible murder fish.

    IIRC this was exacerbated by the fact that their bite was coded as (or similar to) a "punch" which actually would not have been so bad, except (1) a dwarf hit by it had a 50/50 chance of falling into water and (2) carp appeared in packs...

      the bug was exacerbated by carp having teeth, thus giving them a bite. except they were able to bite across the water tile and onto the shore, thus engaging combat. this resulted in death because dwarves, as a rule, dont know how to swim unless trained.

  I've never laughed so hard at a bug list. It's hilarious, and that's only the first glance at the open issues.
