How about Burrows? Are the seeds and farms in different burrows than your dwarfs?

Yes, I should've said 'might explain'. You're right, fat doesn't look like an attribute. I assumed since it changed during gameplay that it was.
So is it just the new genes that cause some dwarfs to balloon up regardless of labor intensity?

This explains why my starting miner went from fat,to great hanging folds of fat, to corpulent before the first caravan arrived while mining every moment he wasn't eating or drinking.

I'll let zagibu's hard work show what I've been unable to convey.
I'd say the issue is more that Iron weapons suck than that iron armor is good. However, since iron weapons do suck, iron armor is quite serviceable.
Test method: 10 rounds of 1 vs 1.
Race: modded dwarf (average stats, removed intelligence tag, added noexert tag).
Equipment: attacker has full adamantine armor + weapon to be tested and vitim has full armor to be tested + wooden sword.
Displayed: hit ratio (green), light wounds (yellow), medium wounds (orange), heavy wounds (red)

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: No bituminous coal, lignite, or flux on my map... Can't make pig iron/steel...
« on: May 05, 2010, 11:59:37 am »
Iron armor works as well against iron weapons as bronze armor does against iron weapons. Or at least the difference is negligible. The difference is that bronze weapons work considerably better against iron armor. So if goblins don't have anything better than iron weapons, then iron armor will work fine if you have a shortage of tin or flux. Otherwise, steel armor is better than iron armor or if you're facing humans, bronze armor should be employed over iron armor as well.

« on: May 05, 2010, 10:59:44 am »Counter question: OP are you on 40d or DF2010?
Anyway, iron for armour in DF2010 is a bad idea as it loses to Bronze weapons. In 40d, it would have been a good idea, but not in DF2010.
Haven't seen any goblins wielding bronze weapons yet. And Iron armor is considerably better than anything less than iron armor. Even copper armor is fairly impressive against copper weapons.

Thanks for the tip about possessions Dethworks. My tombs have always the hollowed veins of ore for the non nobles. With the knowledge that they can keep their possessions if assigned ahead of time I may re think my dworfs burial rituals.

Your butcher? Was he a member of the guard? Did he have a weapon? I've seen dwarves surrounded by oppponents getting assaulted with strikes left and right and they got nothing more than some bruises and some unhappy thoughts. Either way, creating a few restraints and making a jail (with food) will prevent the beatings.

I could not get my dwarf to wear both chainmail and a breastplate with his tunic, he just kept swapping htem.
having armor replace clothes fixed the issue for me.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Does adamantine still bring the king?
« on: April 26, 2010, 02:57:49 pm »Considering it takes 3 raw adamatine to make 1 weapon, and you only need 4 statues if you've kept your mason busy, you don't lose very much.
That only makes each stone that much more precious, not the other way around. Better to use twice the Platinum or Aluminum than remove 4 stones of clownite.

« on: April 26, 2010, 10:37:42 am »
I was pretty stoked about my weapon and armor smith being taken by my first mood om 2010 and beginning work. I had set some bars of bronze and iron nearby but he only used the copper already in the forge after he kicked out the previous smith. I thought, oh well it will probably be at least as good as anything under steel. He made a copper shoe. Not a pair, a single shoe. With nothing really special about it except studs of copper. Oh well, I had a legendary armorsmith for all of 5 minutes before a skelephant stomped him to death.
