The Word of Gods: A Journey in Divination (Dwarf Fortress)

Well hello you bearded bastards! Today we'll be having a look at the new "divination" feature added to Dwarf Fortress just to see if the gods have anything interesting to say..or bestow! Not meant to be a very serious video, but can we avoid becoming very attached to our heroes? Time will tell!

Thanks to the BEST colorizer around: Mrs. Kruggsmash!
A HUGE thanks to all of my patrons, without whom I would not be doing these videos right now!
And last but certainly not least, thank *you* for watching, m'bastard. I couldn't do it without you.

"Hmmm yes, yes now I remember. I can't read"

[rubles]

"Do not keep everything for yourself."
Krugg: "What the hell does that mean? Back to these cryptic messages..."
Shace, who has been hoarding dice: *shrug*

[goose]

Krugg: "I dont want to get too attached to these characters"
Also Krugg: *Creates in depth and emotional storyline*

[rubenplooster]

Shace: *Takes dice away from temples
Gods: "Don't take everything for yourself"
Shace: "What could it possibly mean?

[wessmall]

Those statues are like finding a random sign in the middle of nowhere in a Minecraft anarchy server

[Feraligono]

_"This sign can't stop me because I can't read"_

[willhonorless]

Note to self: when the gods tell me "don't test me"...don't test them

[thatoneguy]

Krugg: Becomes a were-lizard
Me: *Lizard moon flashbacks*

[presidentlux]

Personally, I thought the messages from the divines were a warning for Shace to kill geb before the full moon, and that he would be forgiven before the Gods for doing so, however the God's realized he didn't have the will to do so, and tried and failed to have him flee, it was only by the sacrifice of his bear, and pure luck he survived

[MrThorbjoern]

I love the paintings of those two and their pets. The bear is so cute.

Shame about them.

[corneliaxaos]

*Krugg:* Just gonna roll some dice, see things out. Don't get attached.
*Also Krugg:* INTRIGUE. MYSTERY. DIVINE. BETRAYAL.

[Kryptnyt]

Krugg: "Don't get attached"
Me: Gets attached immediately

[chiselednicknac]

Right when my dwarf story meter was low, Krug comes in with a much needed refreshment.

[CostCoSettlementCheck]

This update has really reinvigorated my interest in Adventure Mode. Even the obviously random roguelike nature of gods and faiths being represented by capricious dice rolls as geomancy really helps sell the logic and philosophy of DF as it would affect the development of belief and divination.

[umadbroimatroll]

I normally dont like adventure mode as much as fortresses but my eyes were glued to the screen watching. Updates to dwarf fortress are so interesting and amazing

[theangryfriend]

just when I thought "when's the next kruggsmash video coming out?" and then a second later here you are.

[Unimportant]

I particularly loved the image around 9 minutes in with the party huddled around the campfire. Just something about the moody lighting and the oafish bear sitting upright. Good times.

[etherealdugong]

This was a really intruiging episode, and i was beginning to piece together my own interpretations also. I kinda wish things had ended differently but alas, her fate was sealed.

[captainocd]

Christ, I need another Medium Forts series in my life.

[Rocko-ccet]

Krugg i just wanna let you know that your style of presentation and playing of dwarf fortress has inspired me to to once again start writing and doing art but also playing and modding dwarf fort to better create stories so thanks you bearded inspirer!



Ps. Keep up the good work
