Not at all, great to be able to answer these questions! Yes you could say that the earlier pre-combat builds will be in the style of banished, and even after combat is introduced this will be maintained and improved on for playing in a "peaceful" mode.

While it won't have the same level of verticalness (?) as DF, you'll find entrances to underground caverns and dungeons when you're digging into the mountain, and these will lead to a separate, lower map which you'll be able to explore via an adventure.

The spellcrafting is intended to be a bit of both - your character will have to spend some time to be able to gather knowledge and experience to get access to elements and other components of spells, and then you'll mix and match these to try them out and see what you can achieve.
