The easiest way to play

Combat is also being updated visually and mechanically, with a new wrestling system. “This will encourage players who may have in the past avoided grappling, to maybe look forward to a tussle,” says the press release. This is Dwarf Fortress though, so you can also ignore combat entirely and spend your time reciting poems in taverns.

This ends badly. I look forward to getting to experience similar adventures with a better, mouse-driven interface and some lovely sprite art come April.
