eh.. NaOH is sort of in the game already.. lye.. though i'm guessing it's KOH instead.. seeing as you make potash from that lye

don't suppose it'll do as a substitute?

re-wall... can the new walls be destroyed by monsters? or are they like unmined rock faces?

well.. might also be useful to change from trough into some other container... like a keg or so forth... for the dwarves

add a job called water hauling... so you can have kegs everywhere without having to dig wells all over the place.

water becomes stale after a while and needs to be replaced?

butchery?

surely it should be kennel... and a new training job?

question is... how quick do they move? one thing i hate about wagons (merchants) is that they are slow.. i hope whatever it is that will be used to haul stuff would be at least almost as fast as a walking dwarf... (not holding much!)

that's just delaying the inevitable, isn't it?

ps.. how you do destroy an engraving? (aside from mining the wall?)

um... as i said before.. the values can't be linked/interchanged directly as they operate on different scales

for example.. a mountain of gems worth less than an iron plate armor (1000 pts each!)?

they could have a system that sort of works like stars!.. advantages have -ve points, disadvantages have +ve points, etc.. and you must balance points so result is never negative

in fact.. you could start off with feature.. then after broadly customising the mountain/surrounding area... extra left over points (or even one of the attributes) can be used to manipulate the number of dwarves, the number of equipment points then available, etc

eg 1 attribute point means say 100 equipment pts (cost rising exponentially)

etc
etc
etc

call it magic if you want.. imagine some nutter magician(s) blasting/terraforming the mountain before you head there. we are not talking about real detailed stuff... just broad themes... maybe a mountain gets more ore.. at the expense of more enemies or worse agriculture.

...dual weapon wielding?

i've not yet played long enough for the dwarves to stop holding artifacts in their hands rather than using them.. to make them useful. (i suppose aside from as weapons)

would be nice though.. at least it's a lot lighter than lugging a cabinet around wacking animals anyway.

well, i've made golden salve before (processing valley herbs into vials?).. no clue what it does.. i'm actually hoping it might be medicine
