[edit] Complete and Utter Newby Tutorial

DFwikians. I've written a now fairly lengthy tutorial on my website which I think new players will find really useful. It starts from the very basics and lets people play-along with me, step by step. I've had a lot of great feedback so far, but I don't want to be presumptuous about where I put it, so I leave it up to you guys to perhaps decide? http://afteractionreporter.com/2009/02/09/the-complete-and-utter-newby-tutorial-for-dwarf-fortress-part-1-wtf/

I think your guide is amazing enough to deserve a spot on the front page. Its better than the ones we have on the front page right now. Its so amazing that it got my best friend, a console gamer to the end, to not just attempt to play, but SUCCESSFULLY play, enjoy, and become hooked upon Dwarf Fortress.

[edit] starting guides

Learning how DF works can be a huge hump for a new player. I would like to see more guides about simple things like: storage, building/mining though the Z axis, assigning dwarfs jobs, basic things for survival, what jobs should dwarfs have, and other things most experienced players find trivial.

ADVANCED HELP ARC: Yeah, dwarves has a steep learning curve. Tutorials and advisors could help this, as well as decent in-game help. Related to Core19 and Core22.
