The Steam version is great, but still fairly intricate. (not complicated, but there is a lot going on) also get DFHack, it automates a lot of the confusing stuff). Definitely worth the effort IMO, I am having a lot of fun with it. For example, I was besieged by goblins last night, and after a big fight one of my dwarves killed their leader, and we won the day. My champion was praised in song and engravings, and we made a platinum statue in his likeness, that was displayed in the entrance to the fort. A few weeks later the Duke of Paperprice (the name of my fort) threw a tantrum because his mandated goods was delivered late, and in his rage he killed our hero. One of the dwarven kids had to carry his mangled body down to the Atomsmasher. Ah well, that’s dorfs for you.
