So...I took this weekend where I've been mostly unable to connect to the internet to start playing Dwarf Fortress.
I've looked at some articles on starting the game beforehand...but as it stands...i don't remember much from that anymore.
...So far it's pretty nice actually though...nobody's dead yet.
It all started nicely, I chose a piece of world (unrecognizable strange symbols) in a friendly and warm environment (All green, Sand, Soil, many metals...now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I have flux there...well, whatever this stuff is needed for...I'll find out in time
)
I started beside something that seemed to be hills in the flatlands. With green stuff everywhere...some water nearby and not much wildlife.
First priority to find out how to get those guys moving. I chose the standard embark, so I had a miner and a Lumberjack. Pretty soon I told my miner to carve some 3-width tunnels into the hills...and my lumberjack went to fell every. Single. Tree. on the map.
Pretty soon I told my miner to dig out some rooms and a stairway to the next-lower layer. (Where he got trapped because I told him to pick those stairs away...Which i only noticed as he was pretty dehydrated and hungry already.)
Somehow i managed to get him out of there...luckily...
BTW: What to do with migrants X.X I lost the overview over those already and I only have 11 dwarves at the moment.
Well...for my final conclusion on this report: Just play on for now...I can use the wiki later.
Apparently, sometimes stuff might happen.
