40d Talk:Surviving winter

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Surviving winter isn't that hard anymore, but the spirit of the article is getting a basic fortress going. Perhaps the link on the front page should be removed, or changed to be more about generally getting a fortress going? The quickstart guide makes it seem a little redundant, though.

I agree.
The plans for these articles are as follows:
Surviving winter – Give a guide for newbies on how to get through the first year, with the goal of surviving winter. Now, redundant.
Quickstart guide – Give a short, quick, but broad introduction to the game
Getting started – In great detail, explain how to:
  1. Generate a world (possibly from a seed)(may link to article(s) on the topic)
  2. Pick a fortress location
  3. Name your fortress and starting group
  4. Buy skills and items, for the biome type picked in #2
  5. Play the first month or two of the game, for the biome type picked in #2
We didn't bother with the old wiki, for a variety of reasons, but I vote that this article gets {{del}}ed. --Savok 11:14, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
