− | :: | + | :: 1) '''Boss Axe''': Leader/Security. Essentially a dedicated hauler to start, also our Trader and early fast-reaction force. He'll also train the dogs early, and cover most misc. skilled jobs like Woodcutting, Furnace operator and Record Keeper. This is my 1-dwarf "starting military"; activate Woodcutting to keep his axe in his hand. Hopefully on a dwarf with high social inclinations and no preferences for any "item". Early on, task him to forge another pick for the fortress, and so get Weaponsmith as his moodable skill. |
− | :: 2) '''Dirty''': | + | :: 2) '''Dirty''': This is partly a "wildcard" - he'll be THE Grower 24/7 until/unless a better replacement migrates in (and maybe even still then), so he shouldn't be given anything that will demand his time early on*. He needs one moodable skill (and that depends entirely on [[preferences]]), but producing one (1) item will fill that need, so dealer's choice. Grower 5 will take 2 starting seeds of each turn them into more than I need by the end of the 1st year. |
− | :: | + | :::: (* A "professional" skill 5 could be added, and he could then change to that profession once an adequate Grower migrates in to replace him. However, this should be something that can, indeed, wait until that time, and not something that will take time away from growing early on.) |
− | ::: | + | ::: Any or all of the "or ???" skills could be any rarely-needed, low time-drain skill(s), something until Migrants can do better. Or, if he has a useful [[Preference]], take that skill @ 5 and plan to change careers once any decent Grower migrates in (and hope to get that new skill dominant for Moods). Or plan for more starting military - Crossbow 5 or Armor User 5 (or Weapon 1/Armor 4 - "mace" is probably the best all-around weapon, esp vs. undead). Or just save the points and buy another war dog. Whatever works for you. <br>For me, Wrestler is for unpleasant surprises when farming outside, and ''in extremis'' as backup starting military. |
− | :: 3) '''Stoney''': | + | :: 3) '''Stoney''': Stonecraft mugs for the Caravan. Plus, a few nice ☼mugs☼ for the Tavern couldn't hurt. Important to keep Mason skill > Stonecraft in case of moods - the goal is an artifact coffin, statue or throne, not a jug or hive. This means little or no early hauling - if he's not making furniture or constructing buildings, he's making blocks for practice and fortress expansion. Mug production starts sometime mid-Summer (or start of Summer if no skill). Often has more than a few each of Mason's and Cratdwarf's workshops cluttered before the Caravan arrives, just because early on it's faster to build new ones ''(in the middle of a stone field)'' than to haul/store everything. |
− | :: 4 & 5) '''Cutter''' & '''Hardpan''': (Initial Haulers, both.) One moodable skill w/ one non-moodable that we don't have to worry about. There are 2 reasons for starting with a high skill - quality or speed. Both Brewer/Cook 5 means they can spend less time away from what's important, and high-quality meals can be used for their trade values (and eventually keep dwarves happier) | + | :: 4 & 5) '''Cutter''' & '''Hardpan''': (Initial Haulers, both.)

Necessary wooden products (beds, buckets, etc.) will mostly be meh-quality until a better replacement migrates in, but something adequate to start. | :: 6) '''Cagey''': (Initial Hauler.)
