This probably won't wor- OHMAHGAWD IT WORKED!

now just to import my keys and ... does anyone know a good graphics pack? ASCII is good and all, but I LIEK PIKTURES.

EDIT: I have never played fortress mode with ASCII and I'm extremely confused at to WHAT THE HELL EVERYTHING IS. I almost thought you didn't have a farm, until I stumbled across it. (GRAPHICS PACK PLEESE)

EDIT: Also, I should warn you guys, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing(not in the what-do-keys-do kind of way).
None of my forts have lasted past a year because instead of building the small farm, I immediately start on the 'Superfarm2.0' Where everything is superawesome, but by the time it's half done the dwarves are tired of eating the last of the cave fish and they have no beds because I used the wood for floodgates. I get my priorities messed up.
Also, I have tons of DF knowledge(wiki-surfing) but little actual experience.

Yay! I'm not going to install a graphics pack for you though.
Why?
I don't know how.  :)

If I flood the caverns with magma, will wildlife still spawn?

How many z levels of a fall does it take to kill a goblin?

I have not seen a goblin survive 15 z-levels
I've had multiple goblins survive ~10 z-levels.

Survival is probably affected by whether or not you remove its armor first.

I think you'll have to do some more modding.

No. They will bring more steel bars and weapons.

To train weaponsmiths, I usually make copper bolts or steel trap components.

Hmm... In the last fort where I purposely breached HFS, I got killed by vomit clowns that breathed fire.

1. Yes.
2. You can try the lazy noob pack. There are 3 different tilesets that you can choose between, though I prefer ASCII
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59026.0
3. Even though the videos are from 2008, a lot of the instructions still apply. As far as I know, the biggest change is the military screen. http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Military_interface
4. This is mostly a matter of choice. I personally like 2 squads of axedwarfs for general combat, 1 squad of marksdwarf to back them up, and 1 mixed hammer/spear/sword squad for miscellaneous fighting.
Don't be afraid to ask questions!  :)

Yes, yes and lever.

Also, if you should use a bridge if you want to cover a larger area.
