Ideas and Practice 00: Intro

Hello, all, and welcome to my first installment of Dwarf Fortress: Ideas and Practice.
 
Just so everyone is clear, this is only for Fun and also for Not Losing.

I'm thinking of multiple things, mostly based on my years of playing the game, and the inherent Fun.

In this blog, I assume you know the very very basics like using q to look at buildings and k to look at objects and v to look at beings and d for designation. If any of this is unfamiliar, just take a close look at everything going on in the screen and remember: everything in menus is done with the numpad. If the up(8) and down(2) keys don't move the menu selector, use + and -. If pageup(9) and pagedn(3) don't work for the menu selector, use / and *.

If you find any of this helpful, feel free to comment or what have you, and share with others.
This link should download the pack which I shall be writing about (assuming it doesn't break when I repost).
