You got that right.  That huge drop?When you realize that a DF-only wiki exists.

   |   Re: Dwarf FortressThe wiki didn't really help me much because the only problem I had was with knowing what symbol was what and what keys do what. Both just needed practice. The wiki is good for knowing how buildings work though.

The wiki is good for knowing how buildings work though.Press k and scroll around, or go to the creatures page, and job page so you can differentiate the different civ's soldiers.

   |   Re: Dwarf FortressI still can't quite figure out what I'm doing; the dwarves just stop doing things after a while or my woodcutter WON'T CUT WOOD, or any number of things. Adventurer mode is SO FUN though. I wish you had the option to throw enemies you were wrestling; grab a live child and shoulder-throw them at a charging guard...
