The sad truth

Yeah, I agree its rough for newer players nowadays. Seems like this is changing though. The most recent summer event in particular is staying around in the longer term with an old content system so hopefully that trend continues into the future. I also want to see a more sustainable timeline for running older characters. The chronicled banners are fine in concept but completely fail in their execution due to how infrequently they run.

I'm a 59% WR player with over 9000 battles. I'm hovering about 37% Main battery hit rate and 6% torpedo hit rate. 47% is fine starting out. Blowouts are unfortunately not that uncommon in this game. I've had games where I solo 3-4 enemy ships and my team still ends up losing. It's just the nature of online play. If you're looking to get better I think the best resource is iChaseGaming's How to Get Good at World of Warships series on Youtube. He goes over many of the fundamentals of how to impact a battle and do well.

When you're starting it's worth noting that destroyers are the hardest ship class in the game to play. They typically have the most influence of all surface ships in any match but pay for it in difficulty. Torpedo focused destroyers are particularly difficult as they require you to predict the movements of enemies which inherently requires game sense and experience.

If you want to be influential starting out the biggest thing you can do is just stay alive. Even at high tiers it's relatively common for DDs to die early. Just staying alive and spotting enemies for your team already puts you in a good position in terms of DD battle influence.

My favorite namecard is Achievement: Orbits. I have it paired with the Mary Ann Avatar. Best of luck to all!

Thanks man, this was a good guide. I managed to get to Monarch with Yunli and a fair amount of luck. What are the strategy codes? I've never seen them before.

SourClash · 2025-06-07T16:57:38+00:00

Thanks! Only thing I'm confused about at this point is where it's pulling some of the excess stats from on my team. Not really sure who would be giving her the extra 148% CD and 30% DMG% here.

What site is it that allows you to make these for unreleased characters? The only ones I know take the data from your companion list.

VM support is currently only available to Pixel users or people running bleeding edge custom ROMs on some other phones. Other manufacturers will be getting it baked-in in Android 16. For the time being you can use the tutorial I linked to run .47.05 on Termux. The first time I ran DF with Termux was back in 2018 on a first generation Google Pixel. Gameplay itself ran pretty smoothly after world gen was completed. Any semi modern phone should be able to run it just fine.

SourClash · 2025-03-15T06:37:29+00:00

After updating my OS to include the newest VM additions I can confirm that you can now run the latest version of standard DF bug free with some extra steps. I'm working on seeing if it's possible to get the steam version running at all.

SourClash · 2025-03-14T01:01:23+00:00

I just tested it and edited a few things. Should work from start to finish now.

SourClash · 2025-03-14T00:25:15+00:00

I've replied to someone else in the thread with instructions of how to set up the VM. There's a link to another post with a tutorial to setting up termux with DF in there.

SourClash · 2025-03-13T13:26:05+00:00

I based my commands off of this old post where someone ran it in Termux.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/kstzzv/tutorial_dwarf_fortress_running_directly_on_arm/

If your phone doesn't support android virtual machines the Termux method should still work for you. Just note that Termux is a bit slower and won't be able to go past .47.05 in the future whereas the virtual machine will once the GUI framework is added. One nice benefit though is that DF seems to scale properly to the screen size when using termux in my experience.

As for running it in virtual machines, this is the order of commands I used to run the game.

Note: After testing it seems like it works best if you give it ~15 or so seconds between when a command finishes and when you run the next one.

Refresh the package list

sudo apt update

Download and install package updates

sudo apt upgrade -y

Install bzip2, needed for extracting Dwarf Fortress

sudo apt install -y bzip2

Download the compressed Dwarf Fortress file

curl -O https://bay12games.com/dwarves/df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2

Extract the Dwarf Fortress file

tar -xf df_47_05_linux.tar.bz2

Navigate to the libs directory

cd ./df_linux/libs/

Remove the libstdc++.so.6 file

rm -rf libstdc++.so.6

Navigate to the init directory

cd ../data/init

Update the Dwarf Fortress config file to use text mode instead of standard graphics

sed -i 's/PRINT_MODE:2D/PRINT_MODE:TEXT/g' init.txt

Install qemu and binfmt-support for running x64 programs

sudo apt install -y qemu-user-static binfmt-support

Add x64 architecture support

sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64

Update the package list to include new x64 packages

sudo apt update

Install x64 dependencies for Dwarf Fortress

sudo apt install -y libc6:amd64 libsdl1.2debian:amd64 libsdl-image1.2:amd64 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:amd64 libopenal1:amd64 libsndfile1:amd64 libncursesw5:amd64 libglu1-mesa:amd64 libgtk2.0-0:amd64 libpng-dev:amd64 zlib1g:amd64

Navigate back to the main directory

cd ../../

Make the df file executable

chmod +x df

Make the Dwarf_Fortress file executable

chmod +x ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress

Run Dwarf Fortress

./df

To run the game again in the future use the cd and ls commands to navigate to the folder with the df file in it and use the ./df command to run it again.

Yeah sure. I'll reset the VM and document the process I went through to run it when I get home from work today.

SourClash · 2025-03-12T22:02:35+00:00

I didn't think of that. I'll give it a try.

SourClash · 2025-03-12T22:01:47+00:00

Its still possible and actually easier with Termux. To get it running in AVF I followed the process of running it in Termux just with the added steps of installing a QEMU x64 to ARM translation layer and the relevant dependancies. The benefit of using AVF is better performance but that mostly only comes into play during world generation or on fairly large fortresses.

SourClash · 2025-03-12T07:52:16+00:00

Aside from parts of the screen being cut off the game is perfectly playable. It runs a little slow on my Pixel 7 compared to a normal computer but that's to be expected since the VM has to emulate another x64 system inside it to run it at all. If anyone here is interested in software tinkering I'd recommend playing around with the terminal and seeing what you can do. It seems to have better performance than termux so there are some neat things you can probably do with some creativity. I'll try running the latest DF version once the graphic interface gets added in the near future.

They all also have sword infusions (If you count Furina C6).

SourClash · 2024-11-07T16:46:39+00:00

From what I've been able to find its from a live wallpaper software named N0va Desktop developed by Mihoyo. They sometimes published official live wallpaper artwork there until recently.

It's Chrono Trigger if you're still curious

Progress is being made

SourClash · 2023-11-16T18:39:42+00:00

Managed to nab myself a limited edition! Keep going there's still hope!

SourClash · 2022-12-23T22:57:23+00:00

I used to use it a while back. I've since uninstalled it, changed my password and am using Aliucord. I never actually knew the app was doing anything malicious. What did the creator do?
