When you die in either the [[Adventurer mode|adventure]] or [[Dwarf fortress mode|fortress]] modes, your next game will be in the same world, albeit a few days later. You can visit your old fortress, or get revenge on the monster that killed your adventurer. If your fortress or your adventurer had done anything of particular note, there's a chance that the game will generate a [[legend]] for them, which you can read about in the [[legends]] section. | When you die in either the [[Adventurer mode|adventure]] or [[Dwarf fortress mode|fortress]] modes, your next game will be in the same world, albeit a few days later.

The first alpha version of Dwarf Fortress was released on the 8th of August 2006 after nearly 4 years of development (which began in October of 2002). Note that while Dwarf Fortress is technically still in the alpha stage of development, it is fully playable, and definitely enjoyable. | The first alpha version of Dwarf Fortress was released on the 8th of August 2006 after nearly 4 years of development (which began in October of 2002).
