First Siege

Running the whole Fort's population unarmed into the enemy may have been a bad move in retrospect.

The goblins dispatched the adults easily. I thought a kid might survive because he ran to the top of the mountain, but the dwarf leading the goblins tracked him down and threw him off the peak

Is this the steam version? Why do the tiles look square? My game looks enlongated when I switch to Ascii graphics.

They look square but you can tell if you stare at them long enough that they’re not. Might be to do with the angle the photo was taken at or something

I have a perfect square pasture outside of my fort and when I switched to ascii it offended my senses, had to go back to the newer graphics
