Make sure this dwarf, as well, stays on-task.
That's a good thing, because farming is absolutely crucial and one slip-up can cost you a harvest. Try and keep this dwarf focused on his tasks if you can afford the dwarf-time, get others to do the hauling for the Carpenter.įarmer / Jeweler: Generating riches for your dwarves' happiness (and for trading with the outside world) is generally a low-priority task that can be done in batches.
Later on, they'll be your first military-oriented dwarf, leading your army to Greatness™!
Train up that pickaxe skill! Once your first traders arrive, this dwarf will act as your broker. This is my tweaked alternative to Tatter's build.Ĭommander / Broker: This will primarily be your mining dwarf, for the first few months of the game. If your farms produce enough pig tails, go for it and ship some fine socks to your mountain homes.īefore you start thinking of having some military, build a well and a hospital. Make one of your first immigrants a stone crafter and let him make stone crafts 24/7. To deal with a siege in the later years without fighting you better have 40 of these traps ready. You should have at least ten traps up and ready by autumn. Lower the bridges to allow your dwarves fast access to the fort's entrance bypassing the trap corridor. Use raising bridges to direct the flow of all enemies heading for your fort's entrance through this trap corridor. There should be no way around this corridor for the enemies. When you build traps, build them in a one tile wide meandring corridor-preferably outdoors. Your carpenter should produce roughly as much wooden cages before autumn. If you really want to farm more, try pig tails and get the textile industry up and running once you have more dwarves.īuild a mechanic's workshop soon and let him churn out about 2–3 dozens of mechanisms. Thirty tiles of farm plots are more than enough to start with. Be sure to have some barrels or large pots reserved for drinks rather than stuffed with plump helmets. Try to harvest the spring crop of your first year. Your aims for the first year are: farming, traps, trade, healthcare (ordered by importance) Any useless migrants of the later waves will become our military. The idea is that our mechanic and carpenter will build us many wooden cage traps which will easily deal with the first ambushes, maybe even the first siege. Also, we don't have any military to start with. You can pick both from one of the first migration waves. We deliberately didn't take any cooks or brewers. In this case, sell the anvil and rely on merchants bringing you one. Some dwarven civilizations start with a steel anvil, rather than an iron one, which will reduce the amount of points you can use for the dwarves' skills and items. (The cats will eat the vermin trying to eat your food supplies.) You can also sell one of the battle axes or the anvil to buy even more stock or some more drinks and food if you wish. Keep all the standard stuff, sell some splints, crutches and quivers to buy a couple of cats and a dog or two. Make one of five non-miners at least an adequate Appraiser (the one with good memory or intuition). 1 Proficient Mechanic (good analytical ability).1 Proficient Mason (good creativity, good endurance).2 Proficient Miners (high endurance, high willpower, good kinesthetic sense).Recommended for newbies who want to play a defensive embark on sites with mild conditions (warm or temperate climate, easy access to drinking water, trees and stone).Īccording to the dwarves' attributes you assign:
