						Here. It even comes with the game, a much less confusing tileset (Acutal pictures instead of the bloody letters!), and is designed for those who have never played in their lives. It's also the one I'm currently using. It has devoured my soul.

						Do you have any solution for a possibley still useful hunter with a broken arm and leg, lying on the ground a short distance from my fortress, who my other dwarves refuse to acknowledge, even when I set 7 of them to do nothing but "Health Care"?

						If you're using the graphical tileset, change the resolution to full and do a bit of math to find out the most 16x16 tiles you can fit in that area, and set that in the init.txt file.
