Dwarf Fortress’ Siege Update is out now, renewing Bay 12 Games’ quest to create a simulation more complex than life itself

The Siege Update for Dwarf Fortress has been launched, enhancing the Steam version of the game. It introduces dynamic siege mechanics where invaders, organized into various roles, actively lay siege to fortresses using sophisticated tactics. Goblin siege engineers can construct structures and launch surprise attacks. New defensive tools, including a rapid-fire bolt thrower and improved catapults and ballistae, have been added. Players can still use traditional defense tactics, but invaders can now free captured allies from traps. Existing saves are compatible with the update, although some features may not carry over. Players can also disable new enemy behaviors if desired.

Inside the astonishing development of 1999’s The Wheel of Time FPS: ‘The fact that we shipped anything at all is kind of a miracle’

The Wheel of Time is a first-person spell-slinger game developed by Legend Entertainment and released in 1999. It features an engaging single-player campaign and an innovative multiplayer mode but struggled to compete in a saturated market of first-person shooters. The game's development took five years, with creator Dahlgren initially envisioning a multiplayer shooter that combined elements from Doom and Magic: The Gathering. After Legend was acquired by Random House, Dahlgren proposed creating a game based on The Wheel of Time, which allowed for a narrative-driven adventure. Dahlgren presented the game to Robert Jordan, who approved it, stating, "Yes, this is beautiful."
