There is also a third game mode, the Legend mode, that offers a more relaxing gaming experience and that helps you view a detailed history of the world.

Dwarf Fortress’ architecture is based on a complex physics engine, however the action of the game is displayed in text only code page 437 graphics using various colors. The action takes place in procedurally generated worlds that come with historical events and figures that are documented and recorded in the individual world’s files as game lore.

The game starts with the generation of a new world and the properties of the world are randomly generated. However, the specifications of the world can be heavily influenced by your input as you set the map size, mineral occurrence, natural savagery and more.
