[Ubiq]

Booze is the real problem for the first winter. Dwarves tend to bring a fair amount of food that first caravan (a bag or two of flour or sugar goes a long way), but blood barrels have an annoying tendency to crowd out booze that first year.

On the bright side, elves tend to bring a fair amount of booze that first spring if you set it to maximum priority during your meeting with the Dwarven Liason. For whatever reason, they seem to respond to such requests and occasionally do so more faithfully than the actual dwarven caravan does. The only real difficulty is for your booze stock surviving that first winter.

If you don't mind a slight modification, adding aboveground crops to the dwarf entity file will double their amount of starting food and booze. Most aboveground booze only costs half as much as any dwarven booze so you can take twice as much from the start. It also increases the amount of powders they bring, which is a major bonus.
