Dwarf Fortress!

* 06/05/2016 I've been fixing bugs for the next release. Work orders won't decrease the number of jobs on identical orders any more, and they should store items properly in locations like libraries without hauling them back and forth over and over. Paper slurries can be stored, and traded masterpieces in containers shouldn't trigger art defacement effects. The weird broken entry shouldn't appear at the end of the stocks list. Stone axes will work in adventure mode again. * 06/01/2016 Here is the Bay 12 Report http://www.bay12forums.com/smf//index.php?topic
