I think the chatter around the release of this version of the game doesn
t quite reflect the nature of the improvements made. It is, simply put, improved in everyway imaginable, and is worth slogging thru the
the odd commands to get into. IF you’ve never played it, try it and all other roguelike will feel silly in comparison. If you havn
t tried to new version yet, do it, becuase with just the addition of elevations the face of every fort will be completely new and
different.

I think the weirdness of the interface is some of it’s charm.
But yeah, this is more like art than a game, it’s neat-as-life.

Funny thing, but the “Histories of Greed and Labor” cited at the title is randomly generated.

This game is absolutely brilliant. Very very hard to get into, very hard to interface with, very frustrating on so many levels. Deeply rewarding once you get past all that - if you can manage to get past all that. I really hope that Toady One makes an effort to make gameplay smoother and visualization easier.
