Struggling to get back into it. I did work out how to flood a small area to get some mud to farm with though.
I'm struggling to keep track of food/drink and understand the cycle of farming and gathering to food, drink and seeds.
There doesn't seem to be a Hunter role anymore?
I couldn't work out how to assign a new skill to an existing dwarf. I'm sure I managed this previously but I can't find the option now.
The Wiki got totally screwed as someone decided to default all pages to the new 2010 version with no data. You can still get the old stuff by dicking with the URL but its an extra frustration I can do without.
Might have another go. Also finding it very frustrating to find a decent starting location. All I want is trees, a river, no aquifer, a bit of hill to start me off, and neutral countryside. Is that asking too much. ;)
seeds - > farm plot food --> still to get drink + seeds back --> kitchen to get better food (but you lose the seeds) drink --> kitchen to get food
I haven't seen a hunter, but I'm pretty sure you can assign them? I have a trapper. Go to the dwarf, hit "p"references, "l"abour, and you'll get a list of tasks. Highlight/darken them from there.
On embark, use the "search for site" option, and say you want what you want. It'll search the world far more quickly than you could. I think you should be able to find a site like that - mine is exactly like that, plus I demanded wild countryside as well as neutral. (wild evil and the new version would have asploded my head even before my dwarves.

He made it 90% of the way before he bled to death :-( Stupid goblins. Maybe elaborate magma based traps are the best way.
