	The chief problem with Dwarf Fortress, from the perspective of marketing, is that the interface is so goddamn hard to understand. Thus, a few developers (even the actual Dwarf Fortress devs, hence why the Steam version exists) have got it in their head to make "Dwarf Fortress, but playable by mere mortals". Here are a few identified so far:		The chief problem with Dwarf Fortress, from the perspective of marketing, is that the interface is so goddamn hard to understand. Thus, a few developers (even the actual Dwarf Fortress devs, hence why the Steam version exists) have got it in their head to make "Dwarf Fortress, but playable by mere mortals". Here are a few identified so far, organized from most to least Dwarf Fortress-like:

	* Gnomoria. While many long-time Dwarf Fortress player despise Gnomoria for stealing a dragon's-hoard-worth of features from Dwarf Fortress ~~and subsequently departing from the Roguelike genre, it does have redeeming qualities. Namely as a Dwarf Fortress lite. It has a point~~-and-click interface (more so than DF), an isometric view, full-color GUI, a (relatively) simpler economy and production system, in-game explanations for several gameplay elements, and less options in general. However, there is a project ongoing to give dwarf fortress isometric graphics. (It costs about 8 bucks on Steam currently, so it isn't free, but that's the price you have to pay for being a [[Cato Sicarius\|namby-pamby prissy little princess]] who needs training wheels on their Dwarven experience the first few go-arounds.)

	* [[Rimworld\|Rimworld]], a game which is basically DORF FORTRESS IN SPESS, almost as detailed, though it features no dwarves (or considering it's in space, no [[squats]]). Available on Steam, and has a thriving modding community which does everything from basic changes to incredibly handy utilities to overhauls. There's a WH40k mod on Steam; so instead of your usual colonists dying horrible deaths, you can have your usual guardsmen dying horrible deaths.		* [[Rimworld\|Rimworld]], a game which is basically DORF FORTRESS IN SPESS, almost as detailed, though it features no dwarves (or considering it's in space, no [[squats]]).

	'''Elephants''' used to be demonic creatures of the plains. They mercilessly killed your Dwarves and then killed the Dwarves that rushed out of the fortress to loot the bodies of their fallen comrades. Elephants never forget, and never forgive, and they never sleep. They spend every moment of every day plotting the downfall of your fortress.

Elephants never forget, and never forgive, and they never sleep. They spend every moment of every day plotting the downfall of your fortress.

	Elephants were turned into much more peaceful beings in the newer versions of the game, so now you can settle near a savanna and have your revenge. The vacant place of dwarf-murderer was taken by the vicious [[Dwarf_Fortress#Carp\|Forgotten Beasts]]. In a strange turn of events thanks to ~~the latest~~ update, Elephants have fallen from the noble title of "bane of dwarves" to [[Derp\|a creature that literally starves to death while eating 24/7,]] thanks to some coding...flaws.

Said bug has since been fixed, and now they're strong but don't attack dwarves- or at least, not very often.

	Ironically, despite the game making them more peaceful, real-life Elephants are more like the original "train of pachyderm death" portrayal (particularly the African elephants, which are bigger, more aggressive and have longer tusks than the Indian ones).

	===Goblins===		===Goblins===
	[[Goblins]] are creatures of pure evil, who live in caves, dark pits, and sprawling underground lairs. Goblin civilizations are almost always led by a ''{{BLAM\|Clown}}'' (see "Hidden Fun Stuff"), but thanks to ~~the game's shenanigans~~, it is not at all uncommon to see humans, elves, or even dwarves among their ranks. Their only export is hatred, and their only import is Dwarven vengeance. [[Grimdark\|As long as a single goblin draws breath, your fortress will never be safe]].		[[Goblins]] are creatures of pure evil, who live in caves, dark pits, and sprawling underground lairs. Goblin civilizations are almost always led by a ''{{BLAM\|Clown}}'' (see "Hidden Fun Stuff"), but thanks to their proclivity towards kidnapping children of all species, it is not at all uncommon to see humans, elves, or even dwarves among their ranks. Their only export is hatred, and their only import is Dwarven vengeance. [[Grimdark\|As long as a single goblin draws breath, your fortress will never be safe]].

	Due to their large numbers and propensity for violence, goblins are a common enemy in both Fortress and Adventure mode. A goblin army may seem threatening to new players, but veterans of the game have come up with several ways to extract riches and entertainment from these unwanted guests. Some uses of goblins include target practice, gladiator fights, and the refining of a resource called [[Loot\|"Goblinite"]]. The last of these can be done by luring the invading force into a room full of traps, pulling the lever, and then [[just as planned\|sending in your dwarves to separate the goodies from the resulting piles of gore]].

	[[Carp\|Forgotten Beasts]] are either [[~~Grey Knights~~\|~~badass motherfuckers~~]]. ~~Some~~ of ~~them~~ would make a [[Tarrasque]] look like a crying little girl~~. Their main prey is Dwarves~~. If any dwarf draws near a cavern, they are immediately at risk of being consumed by the horror. If ~~you see~~ Forgotten ~~Beasts~~, WALL OFF ~~ALL OF THEM~~ IMMEDIATELY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES~~. All this, of course, depends on said beast not being a [[fail\|blob of water/blood/vomit that falls apart as soon as a dwarf touches it]]~~.		[[Carp\|Forgotten Beasts]] are procedurally-generated monsters found in the depths of the caverns. Depending on how the RNG gods are feeling, they can either be [[Tyranids\|a skinless monstrosity covered in claws and eyes]], or a blob of water/blood/vomit that [[Fail\|falls apart as soon as a dwarf touches it]]. On average, though, they tend to be more of the former, and the meaner ones would make a [[Tarrasque]] look like a crying little girl. If any dwarf draws near a cavern, they are immediately at risk of being consumed by the horror. If a Forgotten Beast spawns near your fortress, your best bet is to WALL IT OFF IMMEDIATELY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
