"Dorf" is the Geman word for "village". In the case of "Dorfromantik" thats exactly what it means, Dorfromantik is a word to describe a beautiful and calm village-atmosphere with old buildings, fields, animals etc.

In the case of D.O.R.F., I dont think this has anything to do with it though xD No Idea what it might stand for, I couldn´t find anything about that on the official website either.

The game looks really awesome, I´m especially hyped with those two points

• Base construction and resource harvesting, but with a modern twist; resources must get from the refineries to the factories, rewarding players with efficient base layouts.


• Pump oil from deposits, mine ore beneath the surface, and gather scrap and debris left over from previous battles to fuel your war machine.

We can see trains, pipes and connected buildings in the video. Mixing classic RTS with a little bit of Factorio could be very awesome if done right.

Looks awesome, but yeah... no numpad is a dealbreaker for me.

I wouldn´t mind a big red alt+f4 button though...

I played it a while ago and probaply gonna wait for the full release or late-EA until I start another game, but I really enjoyed the game so far!

I also love how much they go into detail with the whole wood-theme, the kinetic energy and how well the vertical gameplay already works.

A lot has changed since I played, but a good advice back then was to have one separate "paradise settelment", where the beavers don´t produce anything but food and basicly just eat, relax, get fat and be happy... and whenever some grave planning error wipes out your other settlements during a drought, you can easily kick some of em out of paradise to repopulate those other settlements.

However, I still feel great shame when I think back on how long it took me to realize that beavers actually CAN swim :whistle:

I wish to win because I´m so devilishly handsome I always loved ressource management and city building. I spent countless hours with the Settlers and Anno series. The Wandering Village seems to be right up my alley and I really love the twist with the giant creature. It also seems to be a great fit for my Steam Deck :wub:

A great milestone indeed, happy birthday! :grin:

Im relatively new to this site (came here with the launch of the Steam Deck).
14 years is quite impressive, especially considering the topic´s reality back then. You´ve really been ahead of the curve. Thanks for all the years of dedication and work!

Love it at first glance. I´m just a bit unsure about the cutscenes. We dont get to see much in the trailer, but for me it seems a little to much "lets try hard to make it very bad and cheesy" instead of the real "its bad and cheesy and we dont care"-coolness of the original games of that era.

Still an appreciated project and that MicroProse-Logo adds an extra kick of nostalgia :grin:

Is this for real? You do know that this is designed to kill people, not in a cs-fashion but for real. And all with the currently f'ed up narrative and politics, you are cracking jokes with it.

I can not believe this, what a shame.

Are you suggesting we treat the Russian invading army of genocidal psychopaths with respect?

They're perfectly ordinary people, just like the American armies that invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and are still occupying part of Syria are made up of perfectly ordinary people.
I really think there should be a line drawn between saying "Russian foreign policy is fucked up" and being racist about Russians.

This, a Russian Soldier is still a Human and not an Orc, regardless of how unjust the war is he is fighting in.

Agreed, its really no laughing matter. I´m all for Ukrainians utilizing what ever they can to defend themselves, but most Russian soldiers are probaply victims of propaganda, thinking they´re fighting for a just cause. While deaths on both sides may not be equaly tragic, they are tragedies nonetheless.

To quote Nico Bellic: "War is where the old and bitter trick the young and stupid into killing each other".

Right now I´d pay premium money for a simple Steam Deck 1.5 with:

- OLED Screen
- 2280 m.2 Slot
- Second USB-C port
- Easier exchangable battery
- A backplate with a built-in Deckmate connector

So of course these things would also be high on my wishlist for a Steam Deck 2. I also hope they stick with 800p as I don´t see the benefits of higher resolutions outwheigh the drawbacks anytime soon, unless there are some major jumps in technology. Apart from that, the topic of resolution turned out to be a fast and reliable way to determine if a reviewer knows what hes talking about or not, so thats a boon :grin:
