Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part 03 - Understanding the DF world & Naming Dwarfs

NOTE: if you cant read the text, watch this video in high quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEAQtCkTUa0&fmt=18

Its also available in even higher quality on gamevee: http://www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Dwarf_Fortress/PC/Dwarf_Fortress_Video_Tutor...

Part 03: In this video i try to explain how to look around and how the 3D dwarf world works, also how to name dwarfs.

I'm playing the game with tilesets and graphics because it makes the game make much more sense. Im using the Guybrush 16x16 tileset, Dystopian Rhetoric's graphics set, and an updated color scheme.

You can find the game releases on this page: http://dffd.wimbli.com/category.php?id=18
This page also has prepacked versions with tilesets already installed. Im using "Dwarf Fortress v0.28.181.39e Graphical Repack (PC)" for this tutorial.

If there's anything thats still not clear after watching these videos, try looking it up in the dwarf fortress wiki at: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net
