Anyone ever find any sand on the tutorial map? I tried to find some just now so I could write another tutorial but completely failed. Damn!

Er, how come you can't download my client zip? You need it more than the init file. You can edit the downloaded init file yourself, btw.

Thanks for the tips! I might steal those for the blog, Jurph :)

Eeek! Pumps! I'm scared!

Thanks for the feedback. I want to hit sand/zones and world creation. Perhaps this weekend, I'll be in a hotel doing sweet F.A. so will have time to think about it.

Probably, yeah :)

And the area is fairly peaceful, so you'll probably have to wait a bit before the really big sieges turn up.

I've got a lot of laughs from reading linkbacks from forums where guys are saying "I played this until 5am!".. and similar. Good stuff!

Awesome!

Well I hope some of the newbies go over to the tutorial stories thread:
http://afteractionreporter.com/2009/03/16/lend-me-your-dwarf-fortress-stories/

..and add your funny stories from the tutorial.

One thing I love about DF is that even if everyone starts from the same position the games always diverge wildly.

I'll get on to a tutorial about sand (and zones) soonish, as well as world building.

Reading my stats 53,000 people have read the first tutorial and more than 4,000 have downloaded the play-along client and probably played along! W00t!

Thanks!

And plotting fortresses gets even worse when you work out how to use 3Dwarf and then start plotting your mega-constructions!

I have issues with to and too.. hehe. And other words I am sure!

I wouldn't mind the first post being cloned on the wiki, or translations anywhere, but I wrote the guide not only as a help to new players but also to encourage folks to visit me site! So wouldn't be keen on the whole thing moving.

Haha. I think Capt. Duck beats me - he helped me get back in with the Z-level version!

Ta. 100,000 hits since Penny Arcade linked, so I am hoping it drives some users, some donations and lots of fun all-round!

Thanks. By the end of the weekend we'll be at over 100,000 views to the site. Around 10,000 have made it past the first couple of tutorials. I am hoping some will come donate!

Penny Arcade linked to my tutorials. 55k hits on the first day. Might see a lot more new questions around here!
