That's something I really hated in Dwarf Fortess, is the fact that civs/creatures can't ever leave a landmass that's like 1/2 500 tiles away from another & interact with the rest of the world, sea travel should be a thing man or at least underground travel between landmasses.

This game is fantastic. The developer releases a juicy update every week or so. They usually drop an entire race or skill with each update, along with a ton of bugfixes and QOL. The newest version has playable goblins, orcs, ursine, gnolls, and more. The mods are a little sparse right now but the dev has made a point of setting up a robust modding framework. There is currently settlement management in the works as well.

So I bought this and the first one because of you... but what's funnier is that I told my Lt. at work about this game cause he's into these too. He mentioned he saw someone playing Soulash 2 on KZread and I was like "Ambiguous Amphibian?" And he was like "Yeeeaaahh" and then we just talked about your Kenshi videos. Keep up the solid work man, love your channel.

Families, and sometimes it also seems split by profession.
In old school Dwarf Fortress, the only way to easily read the oftentimes weird 'history' is using the the 3rd party Legends Viewer tool.
You mentioned a few times about the difficulty of sustaining food. The mechanic becomes pretty inconsequential after a little bit (unfortunately!) Which makes sense, of course, because it's a land abundant with forest, and very few settlements. Either way, you just need to be cooking your meat. Oddly enough, uncooked meat isn't the best. Find a campfire in a town to cook, or figure out how to make a fire yourself! Getting like a small stack of 40 (cooked) meat will keep you going for quite a while.
@Dubmentia
Ай бұрын
Very true. I downloaded the demo last night and played for a couple hours and I was struggling for food until I wiped out a fish man village and came back with 60 fish meat lmao. Also, tip for new players. Take the adventuring skill at the start, it allows you to start the game with a knife and water skin. Knife allows you to butcher corpses for meat and water skins let you carry 150 units of water each. Once you learn the game you'll know how to find that stuff on your own and can start with different skills, but until then it's crucial for survival.

While i can see the similarities, i don't think that the comparison gives the real props for this game. UnReal World has a really deep hunting, trapping and leather processing mechanics, seasons and deep interaction but i think the game kinda lacks things to do with other humans, you can't really have deep relationships with the populace of the world.

Btw, the 'jump off the ledge to level up' thing is reminiscent of earlier ES games and probably a holdover from RPGs of that era -- I like that method of leveling up, personally, because it fits my worldview better (do X to get better at X).

@@Dubmentia Thanks, i have it already on my wishlist, any other game that comes to your head just put it here. I crave for games with this kind of mechanics.
Mod support makes this game a pretty crazy value in the long run. I did not see anything like this but one that added tons of random encounters would be pretty awesome. I'm sure that will come in the future.
Nice! Bought this when it first came out (I'm a fan of the first one too) and I'm glad to see it get some show time!
Hey Amphibian, I don't know if you read these especially on VODs, but I just want to reassure you that the Kenshi/Kenshi-like content is always amazing. Not completely sure how to put it into words but I think the extra effort it takes to make a story out of it, really adds to the experience. You know, trying to put it into words, your stories and especially your crazier 'trying to make content out of nothing' stories are really what keep me watching and appreciating your content. Recent stuff in my life has made me appreciate just how difficult it is to do, so from me to you: you help me smile and you help me find inspiration from the mundane and for all this and so much more, thank you!
noob: "How do I level up my athletics?" pro: "Try jumping off a cliff." noob: "... And that will help?" pro: "It'll help one of us."
Excel spread sheet turned into games has to be my favorite genre.
Would love to see more. Thanks for playing.

this looks a little like cataclysm, tbh. I'll take your whole stock.
I've had good luck with Protection and Axe for starting combat skills. Str and End go best with that. Not sure how well these scale, since magic is harder to learn, but this build lets you jump into fights right away. Third starting skill should probably be crafting or Adventuring. With Adventuring, you start w a canteen, which is the most useful travel tool. And your Axe skill lets you start with an axe, and you can cut any valuable trees and sell the wood for a lot.
Would like to see a full series of this.
So this is kinda like a fantasy medieval catalysm ..... nice.

Stanima? Wasn't that a hit song in 1984?
Booking this for later just based on the title combo of Kenshi and Dwarf Fortress. Gives me some CCDA vibes with the tile set too.
After trying the Demo I Bought it, it is really a good game! Great craft system, right away I could build some int points from 2 bone swords to cast spells with more damage. That just makes resource interesting to collect and use to craft.
I'm not sure why, but I always prefer green for stamina and yellow for hunger in games that have both represented as bars. Fatigue is best represented as the bar being greyed out or desaturated for me. Just some nitpicks I have from having played a lot of games that have bars and stuff for more or less the same things. xD
The first game was pretty fun hopefully this one really expands on that
I want more of this

Holy crap it’s Dwarf Fortress adventure mode.
It looks like an excellent representation of digital dnd!
This does look the Dwarf Fortress adventure mode I always wished I had. It feels smoother, faster and not as clunky compared to good ole DF. Definitely going to binge this once there's more content - I see that a popular complaint is how empty the world is right now.

Game breaks when you realize you can sell cooked meat for twice the price you can buy it for.
I like pineapple pizza with pepperoni and hot sausage. The sweet/hot combo is one of my faves. And now I'm hungry.
"Troglodyte" is the genus name for all species of wren. Yeah, kinda struck me as pretty rando but it is nonetheless the case. PLEEZE TO MAKING MOAR VID (uf diz)?
They should really call the hardcore mode Grimdark Fantasy.
Let's see more of this
I'm guessing steam. I need to get a PC or laptop, consoles ain't cutting it no more.
Stashes require 2x wood, was that 0x resources just recently patched out? That's what happened with my first bandit camp... oh sh*t oh sh*t oh sh*t. Just started the other day, doing a Hunter/Thieving/Adventurer. The run & shoot cheese is really great and adds a lot of suspense and thought, but keeps you out of harms way w/ enough arrows (which usssually are recoverable). Running a very high dex setup w/ all my ordered armor sporting owl feathers (+1) from owlmen villages, and aim to start pickpocketing towns soon. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure dex has helped me dodge, or rather "Parry" attacks, but it ups the damage of BOTH bow and dagger (dagger is a loose term, they have kukris & kamas as well). I usually find fishmen, xyzmen, etc villages and get food from butchering them lol. Wood needs to be "crafted" into firewood, then the firewood be "Salvaged" iirc. I'm still a noob, but it's been a neat game so far, and def has a reasonable learning curve.
Seems almost exactly like dwarf fortress adventure mode.

You have the same voice as The Act Man, Puffin Forrest, Lt. Eddy and a dozen other youtubers.
Soulash 1 was pretty good, but was heavily tied to its plot so it was much less replayable imo, since you were a reborn old god seeking to recover their power, so the world would be aggro on you from like day 1. This sequel is doing a lot to make the game flexible and open ended so you can do what you wish, be it go murderhobo like last one, or be a hero, or whatever else. Would still recommend trying 1, its fun.
