I started Fortressing on 2009-07-17, versions 40d15 and 40d16. Played quite a bit and came back to the game in April 2010.
Set the fort to pause on citizen death: edit [CITIZEN_DEATH:A_D:D_D:BOX:P:R] into announcements-init.
I use Deon's Genesis mod. I'm tweaking creatures and overlong names.
Dwarf Fortress - Settlers of the Deep, The Age of Dwarven Empires.
Genesis mod's budding documentation

So i have a question, this mod looks awesome but like all other mods like this i dont want to relearn dwarffortress all over again. Could i just gen a world and embark like i normally do without incident? [/quote]
Yep, easy as pie. Pie that menaces with spikes of Spiffitanium.
Pig tails and cave cotton make underground cloth.

There's one dwarf civ. The goblin civ is a little tougher and the big monsters have tougher skins, muscles, bones, for fun.
There's also hostile werewolf civ and illithid/mind flayer civ.
Steel dwarf caste is rare, and great for military. Jade dwarves learn faster.
Quick guide to metals:
1. use any steel.
2. lacking steel, use the three kinds of bronzes, or wrought iron.
3. failing that, copper time.
4. bronze is damn hard to make, tin is rare. Order tin from mountainhomes.
You can make a uniform that contains breastplate and THREE chain mails (vanilla DF feature).
Quick guide to Genesis dogs: Mastiff (heavier than dwarf) > bulldog > vanilla dog > untrainable yappy spaniel.
TomiTapio made the tough creature materials; used 2x the numbers of regular stuff, quite a big change. So tough bone has [MAX_EDGE:2000] instead of 1000. Tough nail 2700, tough tooth 2400. Nails are sharper than teeth I say. Copper has [MAX_EDGE:10000]. Don't use bone weapons, except bone bolts for rabbit hunting.
Tough bone as armor vs.blunt,
[COMPRESSIVE_YIELD:400000] [COMPRESSIVE_FRACTURE:400000] [COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:400] --4x
Copper,
[COMPRESSIVE_YIELD:245 000] steel 1034 000 [COMPRESSIVE_FRACTURE:770 000] steel 1379 000 [COMPRESSIVE_STRAIN_AT_YIELD:175] steel 675
so tough bone armor might be reasonable if you only have copper. Make some elephant leather pants.
Maybe the dragons should be even tougher, it's no fun when a dragon attacks and a steel-armor squad takes no damage. (Changed my dragons to speed 600)
