Its worth remembering that, yes, while leather is 50% as good as stopping things as iron is, a leather amour itself is actually less effective again.
Its like the chain vs plate: plate offers more protection when made out of the same material and the same quality. So, leather torso amour is probably only 33% as effective as iron plate.

10 years, congratulations!

Don't suppose you could upload a map to the map archive, or would that give away your secret project?

I've had a few laughs looking at some of the google adds on the DF wiki.

DF General Discussion / Re: Just how niche DF is

right now it's 2 am eastern and there are 42 users and 41 guests on. Even if 3/4ths the guests are bots and half the users are spammers (which I doubt) that's still 32 real people reading the forum at 2 in the morning in the US.

*rar rar rar* "other places besides USA" *rar rar rar*

(though I guess it's boosted somewhat by the large non-american fanbase the game seems to have)

Oh...

Still, you have to admit, no matter what kind of game it is, the generally are more users on during the peak US times.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Do nobles in cages make mandates?
« on: August 28, 2008, 04:46:42 am »
how are you caging them? Putting cage traps where they fall asleep? How do you force them to sleep on your cage trap?

Have, say, an enterance hall to their quarters thats long and lined with cagetraps. then you need to watch them, and when they head to their quarters and are in the hall, lock the doors on both ends.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: War with elves, after worldgen
« on: August 27, 2008, 06:36:42 am »
Now, if you could find a site where both elves and goblins were at war, Then piss of the humans, you'd have a hell of a mess to clean up...

(or, heck, even a site where elves were at war and goblins were ------, so they'd siege)

Yes, spyware slows down your system.

Usually the top 2-3 levels of the large amounts of the stuff (not the small clusters at the very top) don't actually have the nasty bits themselves in them, so you can *usually* dig that out without to much risk. O course, no guarantees :p

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: How come I'm not getting a duchy
« on: August 27, 2008, 03:41:29 am »
My massive fort only became a duchy after I topped 30,000 dbux worth of exports, so I'd suggest aiming for that number.

Cept he's almost got 300000 worth of them

I have the same problem with one of my forts. Perhaps its a bug?

DF General Discussion / Re: Why is the development so slow?
« on: August 27, 2008, 12:05:19 am »
So I dont see any new major gameplay additions, only this legends stuff, what is nice and good, but I dont care about worldgen wars and stuff like that, to be honest.

Dwarf Fortress isn't your game then. DF is about, well, the story, of all things. Its what sets it apart from other rougelikes. Besides, i like the new world gen additions :P

Champions can be given a room since their legendary.

I'm not sure, i'd expect a decent military dwarf to be able to afford a ~200monies room or better.
