While being a great effort they are missing out on quite a few important details you might want to read up on here in the wiki instead:
- Whats that red line next to goblins?
- Why do I want certain stone layers (like sedimentary flux)?
- I want steel? Do I need flux for steel production?
- Whats the point of choosing one home civilization over another?
- Why do I want turtles instead of perch and why is it important not to cook them?
- What's the rope used for? And why might I pick thread instead?
- What are skills versus labor? Why not max them out? (seriously!)
- Why do I not need a proficient Woodcutter?
- Why should I give one dwarf novice skill in appraiser and judge of intent?
- Why is the digging pattern in 'Tutorial part 04' a bad idea? (Well, you can tell that from watching - don't have circular setups or pathing in general that gives your dwarves 2 identical paths to choose from)
