The large quantities of up/down arrows you see in these pictures are ramps, which can be used to walk onto walls and onto the z-level above it. An equally valid option to digging into a mountain from the side is simply to dig down into the earth where you start, and work from there.Ĭase in point, here's how the area looks one z-level above the previous picture. Dwarf Fortress is actually fully three-dimensional, and there are many levels both above and below this one. Note that finding a cliff to dig into is completely optional. I settle for this position, as it is both very near our wagon (it is just off the screen to the upper left in this picture), the brook, and easily accessible magnetite (the dark-grey tildes near the bottom of the screen), magnetite being an ore of iron that tends to come in very large deposits. With that brief explanation out of the way, I look for a nearby rock outcropping where we can dig into the mountainside. When playing yourself, if you are ever confused as to what a tile/symbol means, press 'k' to bring up the Look command, and simply hover the cursor over the thing in question. Usually, this all becomes straight-forward once you play it long enough, and I'm going to keep the amount of explanations of what symbols represent what low in the future. The rounded square things with beards in the center of the screen are our dwarves, standing around the wagon containing all our supplies. The dark-blue double tildes near the center is a stagnant pool of water, the flowing light-blue/white ones is a small brook that's shallow enough to walk over. The green clubs and spades symbols in the upper right are trees. The green "s are bushes (can be gathered for plants, but otherwise same as flat ground). ,'´ symbols you see is (relatively) flat ground, with the green bits being grass, and the grey bits being pebbles or small rocks.

At this point, a lot of people will likely go "OH GOD ALL THESE SYMBOLS WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN AAAAAAAAAAAAH", so allow me to explain a bit. When we last left off, our expedition had just arrived in the small valley where we will finally build our fortress.
