Yeah but is that more vs armored, more vs unarmored, or more overall?  DF combat is interesting that way...

The same thing as IRL, size.  although I am not sure how that would come into play in combat besides lowering speed....

Xenos works great.  :D  actually take one point off glass making and throw it into architecture.  All my dwarfs need a point in architecture from now on...(I am an architecture student :D )

I want sakzul to have mechanics, siege engineering, and glassmaking.  (just stick one or 2 points in siege, 3-4 in glass, and 5 in mechanics)

...This turned into a bizarre fetish thread about cheese... ???

So who does know the frequency of milking for cows/horses/donkeys/camels/maggots?  How would I go about catching maggots?  Or would I be better off modding them to be embarkable?  (obviously with a fairly high price...)

An economy based around sweet pods, quarry bushes, plump helmets, and dwarven cheese seems very appealing to me...

What if they set up a civilization and began trade with your fort...

I think I will leave the cotton candy field about 20 traps of 10x sugar spikes (sugar being the smelted form of cotton candy strands.  cotton candy is from now on only the unprocessed, or strand form.) so I doubt anything would get through that...

well that seems surprisingly easy....Unless some flaming clowns, or snow clowns are immune to spikes...

So would 10-15 traps be sufficient to stop the clown invasion?  Trying to keep my thread on topic...

[NOTE:  These are upright spike traps linked to a lever we are referring to, so the [TRAPAVOID] tag would not apply AFAIK]

Throwing children?  Mod in fluffy wambler youth as an ammo type.  Make wamblers reproduce faster than clowns.  *Bronze colossus roast* anyone?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's are your priorities when choosing an embark?
« on: September 26, 2010, 12:49:32 pm »
1:  Access to as many other civs as possible
2:  Sand
3:  Magma
4:  No aquifer.  Those things are a pain...
5:  Lots of Trees
6:  Some kind of water source (preferably rivers/streams/brooks)
7:  A flat area, but also hills
8:  Flux

I dont care too much about the alignment or relative saftey of an embark site.  Although more peaceful ones are nice (i am still figuring out the military)

We should construct a perimeter wall around the entrance to the base and station marksdwarves up top to take pot shots at any Nothing stumbling too close to the entrance.  Not only would this be great training for our military, but any migrants who show up might a better chance at surviving the mad dash to the entrance.

Hair should be able to be spun into yarn at the loom...that would be very nice :D  (maybe allow leather to make ropes?)
