Let me suggest that you dohttp://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/skins/common/images/button_math.png Mathematical formula (LaTeX) two things that should correct most of your problems. 1) Build a staging area. Build a 'mini-fort' or even an above ground town for your dwarves to use as a home base for food production and trade until the fortress is sufficiently far along that you can move everything indoors. 2) Start training some soldier dwarves early so that when you come across nasty dudes you can force them into a pit trap and then station some marksdwarves a few levels above the pit and let them slowly pick them off. I'd even keep a big stash of bolts near your pit trap. My thought here is to keep everyone but the miners in the staging area (or the first safe part of the fortress that's ready) and somewhere along the way build the pit trap. Make sure that the path from whereever you are mining to your main staging area *must* go through the pit trap. That way when you run across nasties, you just order a retreat and let the baddies drop - then do as I suggest and send in the marksdwarves. --Geofferic 03:08, 9 December 2007 (EST)

RT[edit]
If you want to make pictures that look similar to their in-game appearance, I suggest using template:RT or template:Raw Tile for it. It saves some trouble and ends up looking nicer. VengefulDonut 02:00, 20 December 2007 (EST)
