This article is about an older version of DF.

Template:Elven Soap is very important now. If a dwarf is injured, soap will be necessary to clean the wound, otherwise infection will set in.

Do not take on an armoured opponent with your fists; you will lose. Wrestling is no longer very effective and the use of quality weapons is strongly encouraged.

To easily create an underground farm, channel above where you want the farm to be and remove all the down ramps. Designate the area above the farm as a pond and dwarves will begin to fill it (Don't forget to designate a water source and make sure you have buckets). Don't channel from the surface; that will just make it an aboveground farm. Put your farm at least two levels underground and the channel a layer above that. Aboveground farms can be made without muddying the ground, despite the warning.

Don't dig too greedily or too deep without a proper army - expecting a couple rookies to fend off a Template:L (or Template:L) results in much Template:L. Make sure to properly train and equip your soldiers before breaching the depths. Equipment is much more important than before.
