Just released episodes 17 and 18 last night, which go over the military scheduling system in pretty exhaustive detail.  Definitely check them out if you're a newcomer, or even an old hand, still bamboozled by the new system.

If you're interested, I've also started a screenshot Let's Play thread over at Something Awful forums, you can find it here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3334261.  I used the same seed and embark as the video LP series, but I'm building the fort a bit differently and trying to make my presentation a little more humorous -- you have to know your audience, yeah?  As with the YouTube LP videos, I welcome any feedback you might have :)

EDIT: Not sure what the rules are about linking to other forums, if I'm out of line please let me know ^_^

I understand what you guys mean :D  You can assign tasks at a workshop without having a manager appointed, however you cannot use the job list to assign jobs indirectly.  I've made an annotation to that effect in the corresponding video.  Thanks again for your help!

Awesome tips guys!  I will definitely put those into the videos.  As you can probably tell, I'm not exactly a leading authority on DF, so I'm really glad you guys have taken the time to watch the videos and help me improve them!

I can certainly try, though to be honest I've never really dabbled with it.  I'll start my "research" tonight >:D

Good point, thanks!  I'm eventually going to add some information to that effect to the titles and/or video descriptions.

EDIT: Done!

Thanks :D  It will speed up a little as I progress and explain concepts enough times, for instance, that "b" is for "build" -- at that point I'll just build things and stop calling out my keystrokes one by one  :-X

Cool, thanks for the feedback!  I don't script these, I just kinda record as I go along, so I definitely miss some stuff -- glad you pointed that out about the sand!  I'll go back and make an annotation about that in YouTube :)

I've been lurking in these forums for a while, but just now found an excuse to post.  I've just created and uploaded the first of what I hope will be a lengthy and informative series of LP/tutorial videos for Dwarf Fortress on YouTube.  These are primarily intended for new players, and I've chosen to use the Lazy Newb Pack + version 31.12 as my demonstration platform.  You can find my channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/51ppycup

I know there are already a million how-to guides out there, and in fact I learned a lot from capnduck's YouTube videos when I started playing, but I thought it would be fun to do one myself regardless :)

Sorry for the shameless plug, and I hope at least a few of you will find the videos interesting!

Cheers,
s1ppycup
