Notes on my experiences with the 2010 releases.

== Razorclear ==
Since magma is allegedly no longer hard to come by, I selected a half-mountain, half-forest site with a stream running through the middle and no aquifer. I think there's some flux.

=== Initial skills ===
I want to experiment with one-skill-per-dwarf, one-dwarf-per-skill for civilians, more to minimize task conflicts than as a challenge. Anyone leftover goes to the military.

For the initial load-out, this means maxing out 7 skills important to the early game. For now I'll also violate my 1-per-1 rule by assigning each specialist a significantly less useful, thematically related minor (or a useful skill related to the same main task, as with trading).

Things I'll be hoping for from (or assigning to) early immigrants:
* Carpenter
* Mason
* Woodcutter
* Cook
* Record Keeper
Later:
* Engraver
* Weaponsmith
* Armorsmith
* Physician
* Bowyer

=== Gear ===
Conventional wagon-load of tools and rations; not looking for a challenge in this area.
* 1 each of many, many 2-point meats, to see if this brings a huge surplus of free barrels.
* 4 dogs, 3 female for parallelized pregnancies.

=== Ambitions ===
* Heavy use of traffic designations to help processing speed
* Attempt to navigate the 0.31.x military screen
** Rest/train/patrol schedules
* Design a good alert/burrow scheme

=== Learnings and observations ===
* <s>Only one of my hunters got free leather armor and a crossbow. So that's either a limit or a bug; either way, one skill point wasted.</s>
** Nope, they both got everything, but their first actions were to drop it all on the ground when I turned off their Hunting labors, and only one of them had done that when I checked!
* {{k|N}}oble screen started with broker, bookkeeper, and manager vacant.
* {{k|D}}epot command displayed but disabled rather than hidden.
* My brewer and planter both show up as Farmer.
* Even with zero frames elapsed, saving took a '''very''' long time.

=== Bugs ===
[[File:Df031-viewport.png|thumb|right|Display shifted downward]]
* Tried the 800x600 font with 80x50 resolution; the display is shifted downward by somewhat less than half its height. Changing back to 80x25 fixes this.
* Yesterday I saw the issue where resizing the window blanks it. But now that's fine; I think the only thing I changed was to use the 800x600 font. This doesn't even have the above artifact with the black space at the top!
