Thanks for the reply, but I have not even made it to the traps yet.

Dang, ok just gonna pause till I can fix this. Apparently the Kobold left, but the goblin is stealing infants! He has stolen 2 apparently, and keeps making my dwarfs very unhappy(obviously lol).

DF Gameplay Questions / Noob thief issue..

Well been following along in the written tutorials to figure this game out, got to the end of chapter 4. While working on my wall my fortress was apparently invaded by kobold/goblin thieves, at this point in the tutorial it has not described anything like this or how to remove them? I even looked ahead a bit(a chapter or two), and don't see anything about it. How do I remove them, they keep interrupting dwarves working and stealing stuff from stockpiles?

Yea I actually started with the noob written tutorial at the top with the new graphics, have yet to really see the ASCII graphics lol(though I do remember them as a kid and don't care to venture back to that world lol).

Biggest gripe, and hopefully just missing something but how the heck do I tell what is my most recent save file? I tried going to windows explorer and checking the "modified date" for the latest, but the latest modified save is never the most recent I did?? So everyday I load up the game, I have to go through 3-5 saves to find the correct one ending task each time lol.

Yea I feel retarded, just did a search and another person asked the same thing a month ago lol. Figured it out, my main thing though is every time I save it saves a new "file" so when I go back to load instead of 2 saves I then have 3 saves. And it's confusing on which one to pick since there is no date next to the saved-games(well in-game dates, but still in the same year and season atm with all 3). So I had accidentally chosen the wrong save point just now when I started the game back up so was wanting to exit without saving and reload the correct option. Don't know if that makes since, according to the other thread though the only way to exit without saving is to end task(Also note I have never played any rogue-like games, I just randomly stumbled upon this game this morning when browsing Minecraft forums and seeing a DF map maker lol then started looking into it).

So far shockingly I love it, when I first saw the ASCII I was thinking lmao no way. But then started reading the tutorials out of curiosity since this game seems so popular and had over 400 people logged in on the forums, and got hooked after realizing what the game was about and how detailed it really is.

Alright this is going to sound really stupid lol, but I have been following along with the video and written tutorial and made it to chapter 5 or so. I have already learned a lot and so far am already addicted lol. But when I try to exit the game I only have one option when hitting esc, "Abandon Fortress." After selecting this I get:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

How do I exit without deleting my saved games so far lol? Those symbols make no sense, and I cant use like alt+arrow key or shift+arrow etc to highlight other options. I have been quitting by just ending the task in task manager, but surely there is a better way?
