::::::: Fantastic article! I feel the comments, while constructive, fail to express the gratitude that countless readers owe you. What I feel is lacking from DF newb guides is an explanation of top-level game concepts/advice: - Get the latest version of the game and load graphics if full ASCII is daunting; get the lazy newb pack for a quick start. - Dwarves are not controlled manually but rather undertake 'jobs' defined by the player. - Don't worry about keeping your expeditionary party's skill sets 'clean': focus on getting started before becoming obsessive over roles. - Rather than spending 10+ hours reading up and delving into specifics, follow a step-by-step startup guide such as <http://afteractionreporter.com/2009/02/09/the-complete-and-utter-newby-tutorial-for-dwarf-fortress-part-1-wtf/>. Again, fantastic article and thank you for paving my transition from Caesar/Civ/GalCiv into this new vice! ^-^ | ::::::: Fantastic article!
