Dwarf Fortress Basics

Dwarf Fortress Basics is a class for beginner to intermediate players. I will be covering all aspects of the Fortress Mode from world generation, to more advanced topics such as military and nobles.

Prerequisites

A computer capable of running Dwarf Fortress! A internet connection capable of watching streaming video.

Syllabus

When? The first class will be on August 3, 2011 at 10:00 PM Central Time. (GMT -5)

What? I will be using livestream to provide visuals for the class. Watching the stream live allows you to ask questions, however you can also watch the stream at anytime on my livestream page. (http://livestre.am/Tazz)

Sorry for the poor quality on ustream! I was out of town and didn't have time to test run any of my technology. We will be using livestream for Class 1.5 .My new comp should handle the streaming better as well. Thanks for your patience, and I will see you here next week, on Wednesday at 10:00 PM central time (same as this week)

Thank you for your patience,

Nekomancerr
