That is exactly how to play DF. There is no winning. Just do what you want, see what happens. I'm working on creating the greatest library in the world, hoping to get elven and human visitors to learn and contribute even more knowledge.

It does get harder as I get older to enjoy this stuff, but I have my moments.
