http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7622 - Lazynewbpack, allows you to easily tweak the game so it's not repulsing - in graphics choose Ironhand or Phoebus - it'll just look like a pixel game and not matrix soup. Also make sure Aquifer is turned OFF, because it's a bitch to deal with))

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Quickstart_guide - basically a big fat mechanics intro, will set you up for a good game to not get thrown away
http://forum.melee.org/general-discussion/how-long-will-the-na-survive/ - follow the Wiki guide for mechanics and cRPG thread to know what to do, and maybe you'll learn to play and enjoy it It's great fun if you have patience for text-based combat and stuff, especially with newest patch coming that is going to add construction building to Adventurer mode.

Woo just built my first fortress, forgot to turn off Aquifer and everyone drowned.

My first fortress died because I had nothing to drink and eat, that's usually how each first fortress ends up

That, or were-monsters

Growers+brewers+cooks+someone to craft barrels or pots proven to be the easiest start for me. Good food is great for trading and you are covered on all your basic needs.

[Uther Pendragon]

I always take 2 miners minimum, woodcutter, a doctor, and others. Prepared food is ridiculously good for trade, and makes those whining drunks happy))

Who doesn't love a plump helmet roast with minced plump helmet, minced plump helmet and minced plump helmet?

[the real god emperor]

I had a carpenter and metalsmith next to all those.

I didn't get to the trade part yet. Last I checked I sorted out the food problem, couldn't figure out how to farm yet, yes I am that noob.

This game is tiring, but it is really fun. Gonna start a new game with all the info I gathered today

[b]uilding - farm [p]lot - designate it's height and width with um and kh (3x3 is generally good enough)

It's those pretty green X's, a 4x4 farm plot (two tiles blocked due to some stupid plants)

Also make sure you have no yellow warnings like in this case - No mud/soil for farm. You'd have to either water the area for soil to form, or place the plot inside the mountain, in a digged out soil walls.

After that, select the farm plot, and select what plant you want to plant in WHICH SEASON (thats important - some plants can only be planted during certain seasons, but plump helmets are most universal and work in all)

Select the one you want, and either choose it for each season or just press Shift+Enter with the correct plant selected)

I used youtube tuto to learn to play. Maybe it takes a bit more time but if you are lazy as me it's great to avoid reading. 

You seem to have great fortress Uthyr, you could make a "How long will the fortress EU survive?" thread, that would be great!  (try to find a mod to rename goblin as syrians for better visibility in off topic)

We need Kristovi as expedition leader

Diamond is tough to damage, and poisonous gas is tough

to survive

[the real god emperor]

So I embarked in a Freezing Haunted Badlands today.

Firstly it started raining goo, all of dwarves got covered in shit, then a pack of ice wolves arrived, killed 3 of them dwarves and a yak bull, at that moment I was like "Okay I can survive this" but then a Blizzard Man appeared, killed anything left from the wolves.
