Welcome to the Noisebridge Dwarf Fortress Page!

Dwarf Fortress is an amazingly complex yet low-fi real-time strategy game, with dwarves!

This page is for those people interested in learning how to play and/or those who are already experienced who wish to share tips and what not. Feel free to make use of the discussion tab above as well.

Tutorials

Many tutorials are already listed under the Dwarf Fortress wiki. Some of these are included below.

Highly recommended is the "bentgirder" tutorial

3rd Party Plugins/Tools

  • The Dwarf Fortress Lazy Newb Pack
    • Note that v5.0 has many disabled utilities, if you want the full utility experience highly consider getting v4.6!
  • Stonesense live 3D map viewer
    • Note: this is just a VIEWER and doesnt actually make the game 3D. It has a lag as well, so it's long term usefulness is limited in terms of playing the game. But it's very impressive to show your friends.
