Year 2 would be good; it's personally the best time for a fortress. It's after the rush for survival that is the first year, and is before the seiges, nobles and confusion of the later years. It's literally a newbie's paradise.

Now I'm starting to wonder. Are elves flammable?

Is the spacepope reptilian?

No, that's Raptor Jesus.

You missed the Futurama referance, -1 internets for you.

Also if a Soldier Dwarf picks up an artifact weapon or armour, then they'll never drop it, therefore it's possible for an extremly badass dwarf to wield 8 adamantine maces at once, which could easily make a goblin's torso travel the length of the map.

Put me on the list.

Also, is creating a "Gym" of screw pumps so we can raise the Millitary dwarve's attributes allowed? To be honest, that'd be realistic, they're literaly working out, which is better than making them super-dwarvernly tough via book-keeping.

I'm pretty sure the accuracy was what I was talking about, I never said anything about damage, which is why I said:

"CROSSBOWS THAT NEVER MISS WOULD BE NICE KTHXBYE"

Manafacture twelve bazillion Masterful crossbows, but no bolts. Train all of your soldiers as axe dwarves, assign them crossbows.

DO IT FOR THE LULZ!

Pssst: Build a Bowyers worshop, you'll get a legendary bowyer and an artifact crossbow!
