Zemalf's Dwarf Fortress Tutorial, Part 5: First Things First for a New Fortress (DF/tutorial).

In this video, you'll learn what things to do first right after embark and how to use an external utility program called Dwarf Therapist to manage your dwarves. We'll design the initial fortress by designating areas to be mined out, we'll make the woodcutter chop down some trees, setup initial stockpiles and start moving dwarves, animals and items inside to safety.
