Dwarf Fortress may be the most difficult and complicated game available. It has a learning cliff rather than a learning curve, but the new game update has made the game more accessible.&nbsp;The game is a Japanese role-playing&nbsp;financial and human management game&nbsp;that has recently gone viral on the internet.

Many people&nbsp;found the game confusing ten years ago because no tutorial was available. This management game had so many aspects that remained unexplained to gamers. The situation has changed, and the new version approaches the subject as an open-ended game. The player must build a system for living and defending the fortress that he or she has also designed.

Here is a small guide that will help in understanding the game and playing it better:

1. There is no way to win Dwarf Fortress because there is no end screen and no real goal. The apparent goal is to become a mountainhome — a capital — but the game doesn't stop there. That means that every fortress you construct will ultimately collapse. Perhaps it will be due to an enemy attack or your own managerial mistakes, or perhaps you will simply become bored with it.

The Dwarf Fortress community has a saying that goes "Losing is fun".&nbsp;&nbsp;The new Steam version includes a tutorial and a comprehensive help menu, but your first few fortresses will still fail. Because there are numerous paths to failure.

2. After you've created a world, you'll need to choose an embark point. This is where you will construct your new fortress home. The important things to look for while choosing the location are- no aquifers, at least some trees, and some soil. Aquifers are underground water deposits that will slowly flood your fortress and are extremely inconvenient to deal with. Trees provide lumber for the construction of furniture and workshops. Soil allows you to grow crops for agriculture.

3. When it comes time to dig&nbsp;your fortress with the Digging Orders menu, don't overload your miner. It's easy to get carried away and draw your entire base at once. However, this is counterproductive because your miners will take a long time to work and will leave chunks unfinished if you give them too many options for where to dig next. Remember that digging through dirt and loam is faster than digging through rock.

4. You can make your rooms any size you want, and your hallways as wide as you want, but digging takes time, so making things bigger than they need to be is pointless. Hallways should be no more than one block wide. Your dwarves can pass over or through any structures or furniture, and they don't collide, so there will be no traffic jams.

5.&nbsp;In general, your first few fortresses are unlikely to last long enough for your dwarves' happiness to become an issue. However, there are a few simple things you can do to keep them happy for a longer period of time.

Gravitas: The problems with video gaming

China's booming video games industry has got a big boost due to the coronavirus, perhaps the only economic segment in the virus-hit country which is showing growth ever since the epidemic was first detected in December.

Young Chinese are hooked to e-sports which is a well-known fact with the country registering billions in sales. Game developers like Tencent and NetEase Inc, Alibaba have pumped billions in the gaming video market.

According to reports, Tencent’s hugely followed "Honor of Kings"&nbsp;got a big boost during China's Lunar New Year holiday last month as the coronavirus spread and Chinese authorities asked residents to stay indoors.

Millions of Chinese travel nationwide during the Lunar holidays and also make plans to travel abroad. However, this year several international airlines stopped air services to China due to the virus as authorities clampdown on people gathering while shutting schools and disallowing local travel&nbsp;with&nbsp;vast majority of people staying&nbsp;indoors.

According to Sensor Tower which analysis video games, Tencent's PUBG mobile which is called "Game For Peace"&nbsp;topped &nbsp;$176.3 million in&nbsp;mobile games in January this year with "Honour of Kings"&nbsp;coming second raking in &nbsp;$151.3 million in gross revenue.

China's much&nbsp;loved “Honor of Kings” game which grossed $2billion in sales two years ago was a clear hit with Chinese millennials who took to gaming to cool their nerves while being forced to stay indoors by authorities and parents.

Honour of Kings</h6>

Sensor Tower said AFK Arena which was launched in January was the fastest riser with sales amounting to $88.3 million which was also the time when China began to feel the heat of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/i-let-myself-down-and-club-eglish-footballer-dele-alli-apologies-over-coronavirus-video-279721">coronavirus</a> as Wuhan became the epicentre of the virus.

AFK Arena's revenue was three times the revenue compared to last August, Sensor Tower found in its study with user spending zooming in January.

Rise of Kingdoms which was ranked tenth in the list also had its best January ever earning $63.1 million, Sensor Tower's research found. Others on the list included Candy Crush Saga and Clash of Clans which saw revenues surge in January.

Interestingly, Plague Inc a strategy video game on a virus saw a dramatic increase in sales in January.

The company in a statement said: "Plague Inc. has been out for eight years now and whenever there is an outbreak of disease we see an increase in players, as people seek to find out more about how diseases spread and to understand the complexities of viral outbreaks."

"We specifically designed the game to be realistic and informative, while not sensationalising serious real-world issues. This has been recognised by the CDC and other leading medical organisations around the world," it said, adding,"We would always recommend that players get their information directly from local and global health authorities."
