this is a very minor fix. but in the menu where it asks if you would like to Play now! or prepare for the journey carefully, I don't think the options should scroll through. 20% of the times I try to create a fortress I will accidentally hold the down key for a little too long, and it will go back to Play now! and I will have already hit enter.

I actually don't mind being forced to occasionally take on hostile environments with 7 surgeon soapmaker tanner butcher miner dwarves. But this has happened to me a stupid number of times, and it would be so easy to fix. Has anyone else done this?

... I can't understand how anyone can do that. Why are you even holding down key if it's just one down key press to "prepare journey carefully"?

Maybe he's trying to load a saved file.

There's a simply fix to this that wouldn't trip anyone up; rather than checking to see if the key is held down that frame the game could simply check to see if it was pressed that frame.

Instead of:

Play now!
Prepare for the journey carefully

It would look like:

Prepare for the journey carefully
Play now!

And you can jump back to the screen from the preparation screen by pressing ESC

If that's too time-consuming, the solution offered by the previous poster would be fine. Both would be ideal. I think that most would agree that 'prepare' should be the default.

What we need is a confirmation dialog after hitting "Play Now!"
