I'm curious, how does (will) this game play? Like Settlers or something like that? Like an RTS? I've seen several descriptions relating to to Dwarf Fortress, which I never played, but a friend desribed it as you don't really tell individuals what to do, you outline a macro level goal and the game inhabitants just kinda do it? Autonomously?
Its a city builder that works like an RTS where all the "units" have their own minds and personalities. They'll follow their orders if they feel like it as they all have needs of food, drink, entertainment etc.
Basically you play the major and plan buildings and big operations and stuff and then place the people in the right postions (jobs). But the people have their own mind and do things their way, so you need to be carefull who get´s which job. Wouldn´t want the bigest coward to be your squad leader for the final line of defense.
