I've been doing some researching and speedrunning on my own lately and have come to the realization we are likely going to be needing to split the Steam game from the freely available client.

As time's gone on, more and more of DF is being put into third party tools. These are likely not going to be in the premium release on steam, but a vast majority of players will be having whatever new first-party solution has been implemented. The f2p players will have not have their version of Dwarf Therapist, all the non-cheaty features from DF hack, etc.

To keep things fair, I will likely be implementing a new set of categories for the Premium version, that will be identical to the F2p leaderboards but using the Steam client.

I am looking forward to the release as I'm sure you all are, get ready to run those forts into the ground (literally) on the 6th!

For anyone following, I've updated the rules just now, and will be running the categories myself to determine how much sense it makes on steam, as well as any verbiage that needs to be cleaned up.

The steam version I am finding , is quite nice. But Much, much slower. You will have to relearn all of your hotkeys, and many of them require the mouse to input the final result.

You can create a global variable, Steam vs Classic, which will get added as sub-tabs for all existing categories. That way you don't end up with the overwhelming number of categories, and category rules don't need to be edited twice, etc.

Oh, neat, thanks for the tip HexTree. I'll look at converting the page soon then

And if you want them to be separated into distinct leaderboards under two tabs, you need to also tick "Use as sub-category" for the variable.

You read my mind :)

Just wanted to chime in. Thanks for the update @Valkuma. I like the sub-category split of Classic and Premium that I'm seeing. Seems like a logical layout while maintaining the overall categories.

I'd love to see the release of Premium bring in some new runs. Submitted one myself today.
