Dwarf Fortress (rpg/ strategy game)

So I just downloaded dwarf Fortress after watching a youtube vid praising it for its complexity and ingenuity, it uses text for graphics but generates unique worlds in a similiar manor to Minecraft except there are actually back stories and all sorts of crazy unique stuff. Apparently Minecraft was actually very inspired by D.F. though I am not a huge fan of that and DF sounds much more interesting.
There are also graphics packs to replace/ improve the simple text graphics.
For those interested here is the developers site where you can download it for free: Bay 12 Games, DF download
And here is the graphics pack I went for though I have yet to really try it out much it has a ton of features: graphics pack
Anyone have experience with this game? It apparently has a steep learning curve due to its simplistic style and complex features, sounds cool though.

Here is a tip if you do try it out, don't set the starting history to 1000 years like I did.... It generates the map then adds on all the history 1 year at a time.
I am on like 100 right now after waiting for a bit and the years fucking get longer becouse more stuff starts happening each time 
Now it is glitching out after getting to year 130 and generating almost 200,000 events already...
Don't start with a large world and long history that was a bad move at least on my shitty laptop.

Your very welcome, I always think more is better with this kind of game but jesus. I made it to 130 before I finally was able to close it and 300K events occurred.
