I need 6 € to get free shipping at Amazon.

Should I buy "Starcraft: Liberty's Crusade" or "Getting started with Dwarf Fortress"?

That book is almost certainly too out of date to be of much use.

Lol starcraft is a god tier multiplayer game with a shit story. Why would you think a contrived spinoff book would be any good?

The controls are plastered on the screen at all times, how can you forget? I came back to it after 5 years, after all kinds of shit was changed, and still picked it back up like it was second nature.

Dwarf Fortress really isn't that hard if you look at the wiki and have an attention span above that of a pre teen

>> No.12428878

You will get more out of a YT tutorial thats up to date for dorf

Liberty's crusade is fucking lame, the MC gets slapped on events on which his imput is either irrelevant or retconned, avoid at all costs.

I'm pretty adept at DF and I'm married, but I thought the game had a very steep learning curve and gave up on it several times while learning to play. Guess I'm a normie npc after all.
