Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire

[blaman]

Well, lots of barrels and still-working later nobody's complaining. However, I have 3 dwarves with heads bashed in and torn brains (??!??) because of a goblin.

What's the best way to deal with massive amounts of useless stone?

Build a few catapults outside, for each catapult set one dwarf to Siege Operator, set all the catapults to Fire at Will.
Bonus points for hitting wildlife.

Because I'm such an idiot and can't figure simple things out, would you mind telling me how to download this on my mac? Every time I try it doesn't work.

how do i get weapons and outfit my dwarves. there was a panda so i made a squad to kill it, but most died but the panda was wounded. how do i get a squad to last. normally i just make one to kill something then disband it, should i keep the squad? will the members eat and sleep if I do?

Did you unzip the files? There's no actual setup program to run.

Sqauds do everything normal dwarves do, or so it seems, until there is a threat and they drop everything to kamakazi it.

Keep the squads.
I would recommend reading through this to get you started with squads and the military system as a whole.

You just open dwarfort.exe and the game runs.

Build a 1x2 bridge, connect it to a lever, place garbage dump under the side that lowers then dump stone. Pull lever, smashed out of existence.
