I've played RimWorld modded to hell and back, and got maybe 20% of the way towards vanilla DF. That's not to diss Rimworld of course, it's probably my favorite game and has a different focus than DF. But in terms of pure emergent complexity, Rimworld has it incidentally and DF has essentially nothing else.
- bombcar 4y agoI think this is something people miss - the "build a fort" part of DF is almost an afterthought around the main engine power - the story generation. The whole idea is to generate emergent stories of the high fantasy type - and it works surprisingly well at that. I've rarely, if ever, read anything like Boatmurdered based on another game.
