Anyone know of any good games that are similar to towns or dwarf fortress, but maybe more thorough/better?

A game more thorough than Dwarf Fortress? I don't think there's a single game in existence that can claim that.

Graphic modes?
It's already in its original state a pain for my ASCII-eyes. :D

I actually played Rogue Survivor but it's getting quite repetive I feel and you die way too fast through random stuff.
Yeah, I know that's how roguelike work but I just feel there is too much randomness than skill.

Have you tried other rogue-likes? It may not be about management, but the zombie apocalypse Cataclysm is quite good. And by "quite good" I mean being very hard to succeed, and very rewarding when you do.

I don't like how its turn based in a way, seems like a weird mechanic

That turn based mechanic is basically a part of rogue-likes. There might be one or two out there that don't have that, but most of them do.

I have it, but due to my 6+ year integrated video card, I'm not going to be playing it any time soon. It does have multiplayer support though, up to around 128 players, or so I hear. And if you're not into that sort of thing, you could play with a a half dozen hundred bots. Even on the big maps, it feels like you're fighting WWI with automatic weapons given how huge the infantry waves are.

Is it CPU intensive? Is it worth it? What kind of things can you do/Upcoming features
