By default you need no defense in the tutorial game, since the '''INVADERS''' [[../Options|option]]‡ is set to NO, and the annoying {{L|badger}}s have been removed. However, even if you don't plan on turning '''INVADERS''' to YES, you should still go through with this section, since a drawbridge and lever used in the next section of the tutorial, and you'll be using the other commands demonstrated in other games. If you ''do'' plan on turning on the '''INVADERS''' options, see the {{L|defense guide}} and {{L|security design}} articles, since dealing with invasions is currently beyond the scope of this tutorial. |

To place a drawbridge use {{K|b}}-{{K|g}}, {{K|x}} to make it raise to the south, {{K|k}}-{{K|k}} to make it three tiles wide west-east, use the arrow keys to position it, {{K|Enter}} to place it, {{K|-}} and {{K|+}} to scroll through the list of materials to make it from, and {{K|Enter}} to select the material. This will leave a blinking bridge, to indicate that it hasn't been built yet: |

Building some things requires the {{L|architecture}} labor. Architecture only increases the value of the resulting building, so the only practical effect is that you have to have one or more dwarves with the architecture labor turned on, or buildings needing architecture will never be built. Turn on architecture labor for some of the migrants (architecture is under the {{DFtext|Other Jobs}} labor group) and let them build. |

To make is draw up you have to connect it to a {{L|lever}}, which requires {{L|mechanism}}s. You might have gotten a {{L|mechanic}} among your migrants. If not, turn on the {{DFtext|Mechanics}} labor (under the {{DFtext|Engineering}} labor group). Go to the level with the masonry and carpentry workshops and add a {{L|mechanic's workshop}} ({{K|b}}-{{K|w}}-{{K|t}}). When it's done, interact with it ({{K|q}}) and add three {{DFtext|Construct Mechanism|cyan}} tasks ({{K|a}}-{{K|t}} three times). Your mechanic will carve three mechanisms out of three chunks of rock. |

Go to the living area level, use {{K|b}}-{{K|T}}-{{K|l}}, use the arrow keys to move the cursor right next to the stairwell, and hit {{K|Enter}}. Your mechanic will take a mechanism and turn it into a lever. Interact with the lever ({{K|q}}) and select the {{DFtext|Link up a Bridge|white}} task ({{K|a}}-{{K|b}}); the game will zoom from the lever to the bridge. Press {{K|Enter}} and your mechanic will connect the bridge to the lever by attaching one mechanism to the lever and another to the bridge. Once they're connect you can add a {{DFtext|Pull the Lever|white}} task ({{K|q}}-{{K|a}}-{{K|P}}), and a short time after it's pulled the drawbridge will raise, turning it into a indestructible wall. Pulling the lever again will lower the bridge. |
