but would we be able to activate tasks that the dwarves know but are not defaulted to work on when they arrive? I.e. A legendary butcher and skilled blacksmith would arrive without blacksmithing turned 'on'. | ||

I think that's very "in character" to do. | ||

How the hell are the first invasions being blocked without them? =S The first siege is usually only about two or three-squad strong, so thirty or so invaders. Five to ten trained (read: not danger-roomed) and equipped warriors plus a handful of ranged support should hold this off without too much losses, usually. Anyhow, I'll see if I have time to set up the base pack during this weekend. From toady's latest newspost, I'm guessing 34.11 is the last bugfix-patch before the next feature patch, and that's probably a couple months off at least. That makes this a good time to start. Hopefully, the most important addons will be updated for us to use. I see our polls regarding graphics wants us to use a 2d tileset. I'll therefore be adding Phoebus' to the pack, unless someone has some good alternatives. I'll also mod the game for functionality, and see if I can get a working DFHack for stonesense, as well as DwarfTherapist. I'll embark us in a high savagery forest in a temperate area, preferably without a necromancer tower nearby. I'll post screenshots of our seven starting dwarves once I have the pack ready and the world generated. I imagine picking of those should then be done on a first-come-first-serve-basis, with whoever claims the dwarves following the screenshot post having priority on the various little buggers and their skills. Not entirely sure on how I'll keep the embark screen up for so long while amassing the replies from this thread, though, as I usually turn my computer off rather frequently. I'd appreciate swift responses. | ||

Well, all the REAL money is in gem-encrusted crafts  In other news, a Minotaur somehow walked into my fort without me noticing, and my military was woefully undertrained, so every dwarf in the fort rushed him and punched him to death. My main hall is oozing with the dead and the dying, corpses and injured dwarves around. There is no chief medical Dwarf. The Expidition Leader is dead. Those who are still well are gradually going insane. All is well. BTW I'd like to be early in the order of leaders if that's possible. | ||

Hey, at least you did not lose 3/4 of your fortress because you're new. Damn necromancers. | ||
