History VideoGame / Gnomoria

* ArtificialStupidity: Gnomes pathfinding is extremely simple. This can mean that you can have them mine, only to get stuck on one side because they mined the last block and now have a gap that they can't cross between them and the exit.

The game began development in 2012, and version 1.0 was released on February 23, 2016. It can be acquired through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/224500/ here.]]

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Depending on what materials you use in creating something, it can be a different color. This also means that when you create a Workshop using them, If you use a Bauxite (Red Stone) Sawblade, a Birch (Light Wood) Chair and a Pine (Dark Wood) Table, the Sawmill will have a Red Blade, Dark Table and Light Chair.

It's currently in Beta and gets Regular Updates. You can get it [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/224500/ here.]]

* ShoutOut: One of the possible names for a gnome to be generated with is [[DwarfFortress Urist]].

* AerithAndBob: The name generator is VERY creative in gnome names. Meet Tinklartfasto, Fitzwingledackin and Min. You can rename every gnome should you fail to pronounce their names in any meaningful way
* AnnoyingArrows: Ranged weapons were long considered complete pointless by experienced players unless you trapped the enemies in a shooting range where they couldn't fight back (which was considered cheesing). It was improved a bit lately, but the fact that you have to research ranged weaponry first still sets its useability fairly low.

* BoringButPractical: Strawberries. They are common, you start out with 32 Seeds to make a farm out of, they are decently filling, and they can be used to make wine.

* EarlyGameHell: You'll be struggling to forage enough Strawberries, Apples and Oranges until at least mid Summer, while fighting off Invaders with an EXTREMELY limited Army. The first Winter is generally what stops most growing Civilizations cold, as Farms and Trees have little time to soak up the light Needed to Regrow, meaning you'll probably end up surviving on a Well and some cooked Goblin. It gets much easier later as you get more gnomes to grow larger farms and have an easier time Stockpiling food for the winter, as well as have a larger army for murdering invaders.
** Can you farm enough straw fast enough to make beds for your gnomes ''and'' feed your yaks before one of those groups dies?

It has was improved a little, but the fact that you have to research ranged weaponry first (this means when you finally get guns, your melee troops will be already pretty damn good at what they are doing, and your new shooters are trying to figure out which side is the business end) still sets its use fairly low.

** Iron. While it isn't nearly the strongest Material, it's very common and strong enough to still pack a punch.
