Fantastic guide! Couple extra tips for min-maxing your embark: - cave spider silk thread/cloth is cheaper than the pig tail stuff you get by default, so you can swap it out for easy points - the raw ingredients for most items are cheaper than the item, so get rid of the buckets, crutches etc. and bring more wood. The one exception are the starting tools and weapons so you can leap into action but that weaponsmith you specced can make higher quality items for your future armies

Love this advice, I'm not much of a Min-maxer but I totally get why you'd want to do that! I'll need to try this myself for my future forts

Also in hindsight, maybe Adil made an animal trap because he wants to do something about the snapping turtle problem? Or maybe it's because he was trapped like an animal under the constructed bridge? Lots to ponder~

@@NTJedi i think he sensed i was trying to make a tutorial and decided to remind us what DF is all about

I've accrued like over a thousand hours in dorf fort since I was a wee lad in 2011 and I still love watching new player guides. Everyone focuses on different things and really reflects the creator's play style. This one's engaging, informative and pretty damn funny

@VonGalactic

Thanks so much! Yeah, I definitely have a different style, but I hope it was engaging for people who might enjoy something different from what's currently on YT.

This is some perfect timing. I was looking into playing Dwarf Fortress. Great video and hope to see more of them

Thank you for making this guide. I wanted to get into DF for a while, but most of the tutorials are way too complicated, but you managed to balance important information, ease of understanding and humor. I feel way more confident on my way to become a true dwarf.

Hell yeah! it's a load of fun with endless content honestly

"Comprehensive" + "Dwarf Fortress" = 30 minutes? This is going to be hilarious. Edit: not bad, but far from "comprehensive" or "ultimate". Poor newbies that think they know how to handle aquifers and ignore the heavy aquifer warning. For a start.

I meaaaan i'm trying to invite people into the game without an intimidating info dump 3 hour video showing every single thing at your disposal, after this vid you'll at least be set up with understanding of how to tackle future dilemmas rather than having no core understanding of how to play the game. Things like heavy aquifers or haunted biomes don't need me to visually show it due to them being self explanatory as a more aggressive version of what is shown here, with my guide you can pretty reliably continue playing for the next 100 hours or till the fort explodes.

Man. I hate subtitles I can't disable. So annoying!
