Currently, spend time with Marna and maybe think in depth about the marriage.
I'd also think about setting in motion the enlargement and improvement of much fo what we have. we want larger and more profitable workshops, mines, warehouses etc and better roads in the country (gravel roads would be better than crude mud tracks).
Also, maybe build a water wheel onto the furnace/blast furnace/smith to operate the bellows and other machinery. Medieval armour factories made plate armour cheap as chips and, especially in the late era of the medieval period, even commoner units and non-noble professional units were completely outfitted with plate encasing their arms, torsos, heads and necks (but not the legs except faulds and tuilles/tassets (thigh defense attached to the cuirass). apparently there was a belief that leg armour put you at a disadvantage).
Finally, i think we should make our main infantry force of spear-men (in mail shirts and brigandine armour with heater or kite shields) and polearmsmen such as Billmen with in mail+brigandine or partial plate armour. This would compliment our archer forces (maybe equip them with leather armour or light brigandine?) well. As for archer side arms, maces, mallets and 1 handed swords (all 3 of which were the side arms for English longbowmen) would do finely.
In previous versions, you could basically randomly wander around and kill any encountered raindeers / elks / stags and live off their meat, now it seems nearly impossible.
You need to actively rely on traps to survive, it seems.
Better go make a new character. :[

Branches burn very, very quickly, try using firewood instead. Chop down a fully grown tree, chop it into blocks and then split the blocks into firewood, all done with the alt+m menu.Right. Don't have an axe because i just started. Still want to know how to feed a fire.
Slender trunks and even logs and whole tree trunks will burn for a while too, especially the latter, but firewood is far more efficient.
No. No, no, no.
Somehow, I imagine that the Gaslamp devs want to include something other than an endless stream of Dwarf Fortress memes and references. Come up with some half-decent ideas.
Let me tell you how it is
You eat rotten food, you throw your heart out and feel sick because of this (just nausea), nausea passes, and you are left with half filled hunger bar after your adventure ends.
So yeah, at the end you get just half nutrition but you will have it around for ever and its good to have.

No no. You don't get half nutrition. You get even more nutrition than with food that you don't puke, because there's a limit on how much you can eat.
Because puking increases hunger. It doesn't lower nutrition. So you can eat the same food over and over and become overfed or wossname
(ok, not the same food, but more and more spoiled food).
The hunger bar is an OBSTACLE that keeps you from eating more (and in many cases, from eating what you need to live).
