Lord of Dwarves: How to Set Up and Play Sandbox

General hints and tips that will make your game play smoother and your life easier.

– Speed up time when you need too but if you do then pause often

– Have multiple stockpiles (different ones for different items) **I only have one main stockpile due to the fact i was trying to [streamline] in the video**

– Have multiple workshops of each (minimal 2x all workshops) this will speed things up considerably (as long as you have the work force to utilize the extra workshops)

– When in dire need of food/water harvest the *Rain Plants* and *Tall Grass/Bushes*

– keep your *hand Pumps* near your farms, but also near a stockpile (maybe have a water specific stockpile near the hand pumps)

– Don’t do what i did and build a huge wall in one go!

– Build (and place) scaffold only as needed! (if you watch the video fully you will see the issues scaffolding may cause 😉 )

– Build and place Cupboards when you are able to (Carpenter workshop) these will boost your kingdom worth very quickly for that extra band of dwarves you need to tempt into your kingdom! – but will also increase invasions considerably **maybe???** (difficulty depending)

– Don’t dig too deep, too fast (there be monsters in them depths!)

– When in doubt utilize trial and error (IT IS FUN!)

Ok so when i first purchased this epic game, i could not play it and almost refunded (hard crash with system error log)

But then i remembered compatibility mode…

If this happens to you then just follow these steps:

– Right Click game in library

– Click Properties

– Click Local Files tab

– Click Browse Local Files

– Open up Binaries folder

– Right click the game .exe

– Click Properties

– Click compatibility tab

– check the box *run for* and choose windows 8

– at the bottom click *disable full screen optimization* and *run as administrator*

this SHOULD fix any issues you have with loading the game

**This game uses Open GL 3 make sure your drivers are up to date – make sure *monitors* in device manager does not call your monitor *generic pnp* ** ((Not a direct quote from Nick – the dev)) **thanks Nick**

If game still does not run then you may need to consult your nearest genius/tech guru
