Understanding the diverse threats is the first step to keeping your dwarves alive.Ĭreatures vary in threat and habits. Hopefully, you will never have to face that kind of threat, but being ready for anything is the best bet, and, more realistically, when things go wrong (and with dwarves, they will, just believe it) you will have a buffer of defense to fall back on.ĭanger comes in a variety of forms in Dwarf Fortress. ![]() Assume the worst: Build up your defenses before the enemy shows up - like right now!
