Then i look over to my jail and see that the prisoner is standing ontop of a pile of 16 corpses.
I saw one of them cut a tank in half.The statement in another forum I frequent is "A katana can cut a tank in half, even if it misses!"
As others have said, there is no dual wielding available in the game right now. I think eventually it might get added in, but not right now.
Improve your dining room.

code:You grab The Peasant by the Rope reed loincloth with your left hand!
You maintain possession of the Rope reed loincloth.
The spinning Rope reed loincloth strikes The Peasant in the leg!
It is broken!
The Peasant falls over.

Do training dwarves get a number of skill points that are split between the skills they are using? If so, a swordsdwarf that doesn't have a shield would not be putting any points in shield user. That might explain it, but I have no idea how skill gain really works.

Items dropped by the dead should IMO be auto-forbidden (or you should have the option to do so). This would solve other problems, too, such as the 4x400m !!sock!! relay.

Every time I see that I think "You've got a picture of a shrink ray gun on the shrink ray gun."
A reproduction war hammer. Nasty item.

The savings come from the fact that bronze production from ores produces twice as much metal per smelting, and thus per bar of coke, as copper production.

<STRONG>Then again, I think there are ores that count as both parts of a smelt alloy from ore reaction, meaning one stone yields two bars. Actually, did you even look for that sort of thing? You may be able to cut the cost substantially.</STRONG>
2 billon bars can be smelted from a single tetrahedrite stone, counting as a copper and a silver, but it isn't useful for the picks and axes needed in a bootstrap start. Galena is the only other 2 metal ore, but there aren't any silver/lead alloys.

Bismuth bronze requires 2 copper (12), 1 tin (6), and 1 bismuth (3), 9 coke (4.5 bituminous coal, 13.5) for 4 items. That's 34.5 per 4 items, or 8.625 per item. 8.63 is just the rounded number copied from the spreadsheet I was working on.
Of course, you can't carry 1/2 a lump of bituminous coal on the embark screen, but the numbers are just a guide.
