Dwarffortress is simpler on controls but iirc you can set hotkeys which should make things easier. The UI is generally nice thou can get irritating as when landscaping you have to 'exchange' a tile but you have to 'build' one if theirs air which is under a separate section. (Or at least what's generally allowed No goblins means no ogres, No animals means no lizards, badgers or bears) If you don't mind missing out on some of the games features, you can always customize it and have a peaceful run, to the point of specifically picking what enemies are allowed. The game is also rather decor heavy with a lotta buildings just there seemingly for looks, if you like any of "the sim's" game you'll probably like this feature, granted you'll need to let your stumpies do the actual placing. Likewise, armor has little to no impact on game-play. The game may have the 'caretaker' and 'doctor' skills but I think those were abandoned. (Pay attention to the class abilities when making units, a number of them work wonders together Knock'em down/finish him - Taunt/sneaky all buffed by Commander is OP) All that though is locked behind a 'tinker workshop' which takes a bit of a process to create unlike Dwarffortress which only requires the materials.Ĭombat is much simpler, no worrying about someone starving in a bed because someone broke their finger, just give them a weapon and shield and let them train up. There's some mechanics with things like trap doors, switches and power sources but only 1 is consistent without needing fuel. (Recommend using ramps as water can sometimes be deleted going over cliffs.) Though you can make 'Rain Catchers' for water it's hit-or-miss which can be bad on maps with no lakes. Water has few mechanics, can't even make waterfalls, I've tried. No emotions in these guys so you won't need to worry about 'tantrum spirals' but also don't get 'moods' for ez skills. It's the same kinda game just prettied up and dumbed-down. No updates which is similar to above as you won't need to worry about mods breaking, but also won't have any new content to look forward too either.Īs for how it compares, this is often termed as Dwarffortress lite. No achievements to strive for but if that's good or bad depends on the individual. If you want challenge but something spicier, there are mods for a few things. Playwise it can be challenging, plant wheat early should be the catchphrase for this game as to how often people say it but then their not wrong. Game has most of its core elements, even some stretch goals for automotons if you farm golem drops. Well considering 'Minecraft' is 30$ and Dwarffortress is free, it's adequately in the middle. Search here on forums for them to get the details. If they do spawn, you don't actually have to click on them - you can simply use your Gnomes to safely 'deconstruct' them, removing them from the game map. There's only a handful of game-breaking bugs in Gnomoria, but they're pretty specific and easy to avoid if you know about them ahead of time.ġ- **Beetles** Just turn them off in the list of enemies when starting a new game - you won't miss them - they add nothing substantial but can permanently break a saved game once enough time has passed.Ģ- **Goblin Tunnels** Game crashes when clicking on them to see the 'info box', but you can actively prevent them from ever spawning in your games with minimal extra effort, no need for hacks or cheats. "There may come a day where that changes, but that day is not today!" I've never actually done the mods myself, so all of my 'time played' (~240 hrs) is vanilla.Īs far as Ingnomia vs Gnomoria at this phase of current development, I'd still choose Gnome over Ingnome. After you play the vanilla game through - which is still enjoyable - there's also several very good mods in the workshop to expand the core game experience. It is a completely playable game - even if it doesn't have all of the things that the dev put in the roadmap. I definitely got my $12 worth (I got it on sale) over the years.
