1) I have economy started in my fortress. But I just cannot understand how can I make my new migrant dwarves to have own bedrooms. I build a new bedroom and I cannot assignt it to somebody because the new dwarves are just not in the list (only nobles and legendary/champs are there). So I start this room for ren[T]. But it still has 'nobody' as an owner. But [p][z] dwarf meny says that they do have enough money.
2) Is it necessary to make coins? Wiki says that you can manage without them but then what is the idea of having coins in fortress?
3) I built a couple of shops and there are owners of those but still no goods there. What could be the problem?

4) How can I throw creatures from somewhere? Towers for example
5) Is it possible in DF to dig a deep hole in the ground? For example to throw goblins there instead of building towers? (build a tower by the way? How?)
1. Dwarves will rent rooms on their own. Don't bother trying to assign any rooms to them once you hit the economy. It may take a bit of time for them to make the decision, but they should make it eventually.
2. No, it is not necessary to make coins. And you never should anyway; too much time spent hauling tiny stacks of coins around that don't restack.
3. Don't worry about that. When shops get filled with goods seems somewhat random, but it always happens. Just be patient. If you've got dwarves who own the shops but can't buy goods, they'll probably end up selling the shop back to the city, where it will be filled with goods once your broker starts managing it.
4. Learn to use the zones menu. It defaults to 'i'. Set a 'p'it over empty space and assign creatures to it.
5. You've heard of channels, stairs, and ramps? Use those designations en masse to make pits to throw stuff into. It's not too hard. With a bit of experimentation on your own you'll figure it out.
