The gameplay has an exceptional and frankly obsessive depth of detail that no other video game has yet to attempt. And with remembering the abovementioned description of the blood god, this is also the point of a horrible realisation for some: that the player IS Armok. This inevitability has lead to the fan base's rallying cry: "Losing is Fun!" In fact, in discussions on the topic, the word 'Fun' (especially with capital 'F') is entirely synonymous with 'Hideous Demise' and the things that are likely to cause it, in particular the 'Hidden Fun Stuff' described below. Every fortress, no matter how successful, is doomed to a hideous death at some point - in fact, in older versions of the game, the simple act of mining a certain extremely deep and rare ore would start a hidden timer condemning your fortress to certain destruction at the hands of a balrog standin, with the game sadly informing you that your dwarves dug too deep, but keeping your fort going long enough to strike that ore was an achievement in and of itself. Unlike most sane games, Dwarf Fortress does not actually have a winning condition. When the world becomes too peaceful, civilised, homogenous and, therefore, boring, Armok brings it to ruin and creates new one, so that blood may flow forevermore. He is a god of war and conflict, who revels in confrontation and misery.
The game is named after God of Blood, Armok: the one constant across the Dwarven multiverese, who destroys and creates worlds for fun. The ostensible objective of the game is to manage a dwarven fortress, but the usual result of playing the game is hilarious failure. It was created in the dawn of time by Toady One, and will continue to be updated by his cybernetically preserved consciousness until the Heat Death of The Universe. Slaves to Armok: God of Blood - Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress (ow my colon) (AKA Dwarf Fortress, Dorf Fortress, Dwarf Ortress, Dorf Ortress, Dor Fortress, Dwar Fortress, Door Fortress, Dwar Ortress, Dor Ortress, Dorf Fort, Dwarf Fort, Dorf Ort, Dwarf Ort, Dor Fort, Dorf Ort, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!! or suicidal tendencies) is the best game in the world.
