===What am I thinking?===
 
Other than the leader all the dwarves start with two skills, both of these are at proficient level which gives a nice basis for agility/strength/toughness. The first dwarf will take on Leader and Broker roles and the second dwarf will forfil the needs of the book keeper and manager, the others all have a major skill which they will specialise, and a minor skill that I probably won't need but what the hell. The exception to this is the two minor building designers but I figure between the two of them they'll have it covered.
 
 
Five of the dwarves are set to miner as soon as I start, they make short work of the major areas of the fortress and leave little stone, but the they they are replaced most will be adept or higher but that just helps with their agility/strength/toughness. The first to be removed will probably be the mason as I'll have a need for a lot of stone items, the carpenter can make his beds while mining. The record keeper will be switched mid summer or so to get cracking on those records, but this time I expect most of the fort to be mined out. The broker will be pulled off mining when the caravan arrives to get to work there.
 
 
I expect to get at least one set of migrants in the first year at that point all the rest my miners will switch over to dedicated miners among the new, even if I have to draft peasants, probably just two or three miners, any more is a waste. These will start at a lower level than the ones I took off duty but that just means less rock. By the time I'm needing ore they'll be legendary anyway.
 
 
The farmer will cut some initial wood to make beds and clear a path to the entrance, for wagons, then switch off woodcutting when the farms are ready to place. Note that I also have on 'only farmers harvest' so he'll be dealing with growing exclusively from this point, and maybe potash if I decide to fertilise the fields.
 
 
The cook will train up the dogs I bring with me to give me some defence, but other than that will perform hauler duties until there is something to cook, probably early summer.
 
 
The five miners with copper picks only cost 100 points, and as there is no anvil needed here there is plenty to spare. The lack of a brewer means I'll take more alcohol but brewing is a quick task and so it won't be long for one of the migrants to pick that up. Depending on the location I might switch the carpenter out for a Brewer/Wood Burner, to match the potash, as I don't really need a carpenter but to be honest without doing a two miner/two grower build I had trouble filling the slots up.
