Minecraft is a sandbox, this is a drunken midget simulator.

don't you love it when you have a hall of weapon traps that's so long even the [TRAPAVOID] kobolds explode while stealthed?

Somehow, 15 soldiers with only weapons and no armor, half not even novice in their skills just fought off an entire 3 group goblin siege, with only 1 soldier casualty, and none of the traps I had worked either.

Bravo men. Bravo.

I haven't played this in a while. I started a new world and I can remember how to do most of the important stuff except going up and down levels, how do I do this?
Figured it out.

What's annoying is when a cat falls asleep in the hallway and makes whoever owns it sad.

In Dwarf Fortress mode, all the controls are along the right hand side, but let me find you something.

A bump! Curse them!

Anyway, I just had a dwarf take two gems and create a throne:

This is a yellow jasper throne. All Craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. On the item is an image of palms in yellow jasper. On the item is an image of waves in brown jasper.

He must've been creating a beach, but forgot the beach part.

I just started playing DF, but none of my dwarves are working >:(

Two are mining, but the rest are just richarding around by the wagon instead of cutting trees/gathering plants.

Help please :(

Make sure they have the respective labors enabled.

Is this game beginner-friendly? I've never played these sorts of games and I kind of want to get interested.

Not at all.
There are very good tutorials, though.
