** Tutorials are not for the current, 2010 build of DF. However, they will teach you 90% of what you need to know for the new version. More tutorials may come in due course. **

My YouTube tips for Dwarf Fortress

I've had a lot of positive feedback from my play-along DF tutorials so I thought, now that they are complete, that I would post links to all 12 here.

Play-along? Yes, play along! New players can just pick up the pre-created save in the client I link in the first version and then follow along with my instructions. Lots of folks have said they found this to be an awesome way to learn a complex game! So, anyway, enough about all that. Here are some links.

PTTG??:
Fine work!
Be sure to update it when the new version comes out- oh, and on that note,
you may want to have the next version use a default graphics set so that those users with smaller resolutions don't have to deal with the init, though the graphics may be more friendly.

TCHJ3K:
Your tutorials have been really handy... I haven't been using the play-along files, but the ones about stuff like magma are really helpful in explaining some of the more complicated (and potentially fort-destroying) concepts.

I can't remember if you've covered it in one of the earlier parts, but something about water would be really helpful - it's a great way of ruining a tremendous amount of hard work with one mis-dug tile...

Nice!  tutorial is clear and well done... and funny!
