It's incredibly detailed and the best DF tutorial on the net.And FYI, you aren't expected to play DF without first reading tutorials. It is probably the most non n00b-friendly game in existence.Don't worry, you'll be dropping magma on goblins in no time.Just watch out for elephants.

Eviltyphoon Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Wow, I see there are already a few ppl who can't wait to start playing, that's great!@ﾉ◊ㄅｻúﾚ∆z:> Just watch out for elephants.Nah, elephants are no longer dangerous. Watch out for CARP!!! Th most vicious beast in DF (and yes, it's a fish). There have been carps that killed DRAGONS…On my first fortress, I had Skeletal Carp. :/ Needless to say, I had lots of [FUN](http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Losing).@[SB:> Ninja-Tech link=topic=43313.msg437719#msg437719 date=1240980715]> We should all make a topic about DF Heroes and then post the story about the hero until he/she diedThis. Because the game is so advanced, you can get the weirdest stories out of it. E.g.: A siege slaughtering an entire fortress because there was a sock blocking the door.

Khachaturian Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Haha thats pretty funny, both the carp and the sock.I've read through part one of the tut, and reading part two, maybe print out 3, perhaps not.Maybe I'll get the hang of it tommorow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshKlaz Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yeah, fish are deadly… I was managing one my fortresses just a few minutes ago and some bastard dorf dug out a lake filled with the little buggers. Needless to say, everyone on the lower levels died, lol. But that's ok, I just moved my basement a bit to the side and flooded the bastards with magma.Fried fish, anyone?
