joeclark77: I've started looking at his tutorials, and will indeed check out therarpist. Great info on the "dig" vs. "channel" that owuld have been confusing for me!
Urist Mc Dwarf: Thank you! I'll check it out
Kingpin232323: Will do, thanks!
EvilBob22: *makes notes regarding varying levels of fun* thank you.
pisskop: I will try my best not to set my standards too high and look forward to any basic understanding of anything at this point, and certainly in the future, thanks!
Cobbler89: Fun and Science you say? Sounds good to me. Thanks for the comparison on making and building and constructions. and the moods of dwarves!
Ianflow: ha-ha! The people here sound amazing and have proven it. I'll check out Therapist and look into DFHack. I'll take a note on editing tags for later.
Solon64: Thanks for the kind words and welcome! I've been reading over the different forums - especially the "What is going on in your fort now" thread - some of those are a riot, I can't wait to get involved!
Chedows: I'll choose that option before I embark - I was reading about it on a tutorial earlier, thank you!!
ChuckWeiss: I am indeed leaning toward starting with ASCII, I think I want to experience the game as it was created first (much like modding anything else). However, I can see the wisdom behind using a graphic pack so I'll have one at the ready in case my brain melts a bit too much starting out. Thank you!
Maw: "...You fear to go into those mines. The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness..." - Saruman. thanks!
thegoatgod_pan: Thanks! Like I said above I think I am going to start with ASCII but you may well be proven right and I might switch to a graphics pack. I'll definitely try to enjoy the journey of learning this game. I'll certainly have some fun - otherwise I'll be wasting my time.
thanks again!
Laurin: I'll make sure to work on a refuse pile - it was at the top of things to do on a DF flow chart I ran across. Thanks for the advice about flashing icons.
Yag Alone: Ha! I think I'll stay away from the magma for now - thanks for the welcome!
Bored Virulence: Lots of good advice on food and food production, thank you very much! I'll keep an eye on my hallway width to avoid traffic problems I assume.
Azerax: Larger Bedrooms and dorf squads - will look into figuring this out in the near future. I'll also make sure to keep an eye on the book keeper status! Thanks again.
Man the more I read, even the little I've been able to, the more excited I get to try this out as soon as I get a chance! Thanks again.
