Trying Dwarf Fortress for the first time

[Sizniche]

I set all the world-gen options to max, so that I have a large, resource rich world with plenty of wilderness thingymajigs and more than enough time to develop.


The kicker; My computer only has an Intel i3.


It's been rendering the world for over an hour now, and I'm still only on year 465 of the history.

That's hot.

From someone who's been Dorfing since Dorfs began - the wiki page is your best friend. Also, enjoy being new to the game. Once you get pretty good, it loses some of its more hilarious catastrophes because you learn how to prevent them.

Same situation with the i3. If you're generating a world at max settings and setting the history length for longer than 100 years, you're gonna be waiting for about as long.
