http://afteractionreporter.com/2009/02/09/the-complete-and-utter-newby-tutorial-for-dwarf-fortress-part-1-wtf/

USE THIS TUTORIAL given to me by King Leonidas.
Theres a few things it wont mention….

Ok so after reading this...i got lost a bit. had to fend for my own.

your most used buttons will be 'k' 'd' 'b' and 'v'

**EMBARKING**
so when you start you want to choose a few good techniques.
use the arrows to choose a person. press right on the keyboard…then use the arrows again then press the '+' and '-' to add skill.
2 miners. 1 woodcutter. 1 carpenter. 1 mason. 1 farmer that brews too. and the others you can make your own.

but wats this? when making your person a farmer...you cant get it up to proficient...so press the TAB button then go over the Iron Anvil and press '-' on the number pad.

so add some new items...its all explained on the lower bar.

**IN GAME**
use 'v' then 'p' then go from there. this is a very usuful page. it'll allow you to assign dogs, work, how to hunt or soldier, and you can activate the military here.

OK IM SORRY I NEED TO WRITE THE LEST LATER.

That is not how I start :)

2 miners. 1 carpenter + woodcutter. 1 manson + notive engraver. 1\. Hunter. 1 Other Miner : Abit Mining. 1 Peasant for moving.

I get that to a fort I get bored of becuase it can be self sufisant.
