When you’re done, (you may have to hit F9 to head back out of the menu), hit “tab” to go to the item list. Fiddle around here and come up with a creative name if you want! This is handy if you want to make a note of how you’ve skilled each dwarf, or just for your own amusement, of course! Once you’re done there, hitting “Shift+F” or “Shift+G” takes you to a group and fortress menu list. Here you can modify a dwarf’s nickname and profession name.
Head back to the list (“space-bar”) and then hit “c”. I usually look for the most ‘friendliest’ and mark them in my head for any possible leadership skills. Hit “v” and have a read about your dwarf’s personality. You’ll see at the bottom the “c” menu for “Customize” and “v” for “View”. Meanwhile, get back to a dwarf using the arrow key. There are many strategies when it comes to skill selection, we’ll cover some samples later. Most of the time you’re going to be giving each dwarf a couple of skills, but one or two dwarfs might be given some outlier skills (leadership skills, for example) to ensure you have a broker from the get-go. You have now made your dwarf a pretty good mason and a miner! Note, there’s a zero next to his name? This means he can’t accept any more skills. Find “Mining”, hit “alt+down arrow” and keep hitting it until the dwarf is set as a “Proficient Miner”. Currently this dwarf has no skills assigned. Select your first dwarf, then arrow over to the skill list and scroll through it. The left-right arrows move between the list on the left (dwarfs) and the list on the right (dwarf skills). You will now be presented with your list of dwarfs and the skills they can access. What you want to be doing now is selecting “Prepare for your journey carefully” from the embark menu. So you’ve chosen your perfect location, as per the previous tutorial, and now you’re ready to embark. Read on for more information! Embarking the custom way This is a handy part of the game as it lets you customize exactly what sort of dwarfs you take with you and allows you to set their supplies to your exact specifications. I’ve written a book – Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress, available at O’Reilly and Amazon! It covers the current version and takes you from knowing nothing to being a confident Dwarf Fortress player!Ī while ago I promised a final tutorial (although I’m always open for to pleading for more) on how to use the custom embark feature of Dwarf Fortress.
