Umm, I don't know how to make your dwarves do what you want them to do, so I opened it and left it running, when I got back apparently they had children and the mother killed her child? Is that supposed to happen..? I then turned the Game off and checked this forum xD It would be nice if someone could gimme like not a guide but like a step by step thing on what I should do from Embarking :S
I watched the youtube vids but they don't explain very well and I just get frustrated and go "Oh, I'll get it next time" but I never do xD
-----
Using this link here as a guide. I got the art files and placed them in the dwarf fortress files I currently have, so I hope that works :S
-----
Nah the new DF cannot load the old DF file, so.... I'll just use the 2009 DF to learn then upgrade when I know roughly what I'm doing
I won't give up >.<
-----
bahh,, the new thing is to large for my monitor...
Could someone tell me how to get the old world files into my new dwarf fortress so I can do that tutorial but with the set up of the latest DF?
I looked online but couldnt find one :S

Dwarves don't care, they do what they want, but that doesn't mean that you can uh... leave them... When they run out of food and drink they get pissed and mad and eventually die.
And the ghosts will probably fuck you up x)

I believe ToadyOne (the DF dev) was planning on implementing corpses rising up into zombies in certain conditions.
Anyway, skeletal/zombie variants of creatures are more common than you'd expect, and unfortunately much harder to kill because of lack of pain or bleeding - both factors that could normally win a fight for you easily.

If you're having corpses pile up, it helps to set a stockpile specifically for corpses walled off somewhere far away from your main fortress. It's also a good idea to make a mausoleum underground full of coffins/caskets to bury your dwarves in to prevent ghosts from rising up and haunting your fortress. You'll need to set the coffins as available for burial in the 'v' menu first before they can be used.

Thanks alot but I my Dwarves all died, and I won't try save scum like I heard of online.
They died because I mined into water, and it flooded, 2 miners died, fair enough, I send dwarves to go block it and 1 by one they die trying, ( I don't know how..) then I had 1 left who went insane and died from Thirst?! This game xD

You guys should share images, I want to make a new fortress but it would be good if I could find a nice tileset that is easiest to recognise things.

I tried Mayday and it seems nice

My Fortress is a little hurr durr right now xD

New thinks comming up on a new update that will come somewhere in the upcomming weeks I hope pretty soon
Toady
Announced he is going to add minecarts and tracks how cool is that!

@souldevilj I have been using phoebus but now I'm using default(ascii).Lazy newb pack uses an old version of phoebus I think that's why it looks shity.You can reinstall it manualy by downloading it from the forums.

@souldevilj:
Off-topic: Windows 7 and the Snipping Tool. Hey, do I see Paint.NET on the taskbar?
On-topic: That seems like a big mining project on the left.

@KillTheCook:
I'm using Phoebus at the Masterwork thing. And minecarts and tracks would be great, so it may probably be useful for moving things faster. Now I wish there was a way to make a dragon run after the minecart after it's on tracks and somebody is in it, similar to the third Guardian of La-Mulana.
