Advice on what to bring how to set up dwarves in a haunted area, for maximum !!FUN!! and fun; and not dying within two minutes due to attacks by who knows what?

Bored of serene, calm, wilderness. Looking for something exciting, also what does a temperature of "hot" do? If anything.

EDIT: Should I choose the nearest civilization to come from, the largest? Does that help/affect anything?

EDIT EDIT: Final Question before embark, advice on getting a hospital set up ASAP.

In medium and low evil/savagery worlds, it's almost the last thing I do, what about evil?

EDIT EDIT EDIT: This thread is now about elven strippers and naked werebeasts... see page 2

Bring a single animal, like a war-horse or something, That takes care of nasties with his WAR-HAMMAH!

40 blocks of anything, set everyone to mason/carpenter to build a wall around, then a roof.

Have two dwarves be doctors as well as whatever else they are.

Stupid question, but how do you build a roof? Haven't succeeded in the past.

Build a wall normally, but instead of wall, put for "Up down stair" in the constructions menu.

If you use natural walls,

B<C<X

Same as carving, but instead of down you build one above it.

[Loud Whispers]

Blocks are too expensive. Just use logs/rock boulders if you want to build a roof.

(b) (c) (u), then above that up stair place a down/up|down stair. Build floors across wherever you want to cover. Or a bridge I guess, if you want to conserve materials.

Although you'll just want to dig down ASAP unless you're very familiar with intense military micromanage

....U?

I need to pay more attention to building. Im starting to forget vital-hotkeys.

[Urist McBeanie]

Should I choose the nearest civilization to come from, the largest? Does that help/affect anything?

[Corai]

You-may get more soldier-migrants, if there large there bound to have some wars.

If your tiny, your gonna get nothing but soldiers if they have been in war.

[Loud Whispers]

....U?

I need to pay more attention to building. Im starting to forget vital-hotkeys.

u = up stair
x = up/down stair

Neither of us were wrong

Should I choose the nearest civilization to come from, the largest? Does that help/affect anything?

Choose the largest. Some civs can be too small to send migrants. Also higher chance for your civ to send you war veterans.

If someone gets so hurt they need a hospital, atom-smash. If they kick the bucket they will kill everyone in the hospital. Then they kill healthy....and on and on.

Lol, got it. Thanks for the assistance. SO much better than most forums.

A hospital in an evil biome is pretty much exactly the same as a hospital in a normal biome. It will take some time to build a proper one, but if you can secure some water, bring a rope (or the materials to make rope, so bring lots of pig tail seeds), bring some logs, dig out a small room and place down your beds/traction benches you should do fine. Then all you have to do is set up some coffers and cabinets, reserve some cloth, thread and splints/crutches, and it'll be done. Expand as needed.

Oh, and guard your hospital. Dead patients may sometimes decide they don't want to be dead anymore.

My early hospital on the right, built under the first year and directly on the left is one of my barracks.

You have arrived! After a long journey from the Mountainhomes into the forbidding wilderness beyond, your harsh trek has finally ended. Your party of seven, "The Problematic Tomb," is to make an out post for the glory of all of Zirildumed.
There are almost no supplies left, but with stout labor comes sustenance whether by bolt, plow, or hook, provide for your dwarves. You are expecting a supply caravan just before winter entombs you, but it is Spring now. Enough time to delve secure lodgings.
A new chapter of dwarven history begins here at this place, Innokagak, "Creepyanus". Strike the Earth!
