Description
Indirectly referred to as a parody of Dwarf Fortress, this game purports to be the only fantasy colonization simulation you'll ever need.
As a poster on TIGForums describes it:
For those who hadn't figured it out yet … yes, this game is a joke.
The elves refuse to log down any trees (What sane elf would do such a thing?!??!!) which means no lumber for buildings. And when you build sleeping cots out of branches, the elves fall asleep high up in the tree … and then roll over and fall out and die.
Then the bunnies come.
Alternately you can just let your elves wander around the trees attempting to be gardeners or fairy-wranglers or whatever.
