"Dreamfort works best at an embark site that is flat and has at least one soil layer. New players should avoid embarks with aquifers if they are not prepared to deal with them. Bring picks for mining, an axe for woodcutting, and an anvil for a forge. Bring a few blocks to speed up initial workshop construction as well. That's all you really need, but see the example embark profile in the online spreadsheets for a more complete setup."

"Also consider bringing magma up to your services level so you can replace the forge and furnaces on your industry level with more powerful magma versions. This is especially important if your embark has insufficient trees to convert into charcoal. Keep in mind that moving magma is a tricky process and can take a long time. Don't forget to continue making progress through the checklist! If you choose to use magma, I suggest getting it in place before importing the military and smelting automation orders since they make heavy use of furnaces and forges."

Here are some tips and procedures for handling seiges -- including how to clean up afterwards!
""
"- Ensure your ""Inside"" burrow includes only below-ground areas and safe surface areas of your fort. In particular, don't include the ""atrium"" area (where the ""siege bait"" zone is) or the trapped hallways."
"- When a siege begins, set the alert to ""Siege"" to ensure all your civilians stay out of danger. Immediately pull the lever to close the outer main gate. It is also wise to close the trade depot and inner main gate as well. That way, if enemies get past the traps, they'll have to go through the soldiers in your barracks."
""
"- When a siege begins, set the civilian alert to ""Siege"" to ensure all your civilians stay out of danger. Immediately pull the lever to close the outer main gate. It is also wise to close the trade depot and inner main gate as well. That way, if enemies get past the traps, they'll have to go through the soldiers in your barracks."
""
"- During a siege, use the levers to control how attackers path through the trapped corridors. If there are more enemies than cage traps, time your lever pulling so that the inner gates snap closed before your last cage trap is sprung. Then the remaining attackers will have to backtrack and go through the other trap-filled hallway."
""
"- If your cage traps fill up, ensure your hallways are free of uncaged attackers, then close the trap hallway outer gates and open the inner gates. Unset the civilian alert and allow your dwarves to reset all the traps -- make some extra cages in preparation for this! Then re-set the civilian alert to ""Siege"" and open the trap hallway outer gates."
""
"- Once the last attacker is caged, open all the gates and unset the civilian alert. Life is normal again!"
""
"After a siege, you can use the caged prisoners to safely train your military. Here's how:"
""
"- Once the prisoners are hauled to the ""prisoner quantum"" stockpile, run ""stripcaged all"" in the DFHack console."
""
"- After all the prisoners' items have been confiscated, bring your military dwarves to the barracks (if they aren't already there)."
""
- Use the zone (i) menu to assign a group prisoners to the pasture that overlaps the prisoner quantum stockpile
""
"- Hauler dwarves will come and release prisoners one by one. Your military dwarves will immediately pounce on the released prisoner and chop them to bits, saving the hauler dwarves from being attacked. Repeat until all prisoners have been ""processed""."
""
"Only types of creatures that you commonly see in sieges are accepted by the prisoner hauling route by default. You can add additional creature types by configuring the hauling route stop in the 'h' menu. Note that generated creature types, like necromancer experiments, can't be explicitly added. You have to (at least temporarily) accept all animals to include them."
