10ebbor10:
You have one adze, which requires only one person. Likewise, you have one pick, which five people will probably just fight over. Once you get stone or something, you can make more.
Making a bow requires two units of wood, easily gatherable within a day, and one of grasses or reeds for the string (even more so).
Kids might help, but it's hard to get them to work.
Finally, while everyone can get their own water they won't do as well as if one person got water for all of them.

Slowpoke: You have five men, and children probably won't work. You can make suggestions, but at least half of them will just be children. There's a reason kids are cheap...Thankfully, they eat half as much.
Oh, and having half of your adult population hunt at a -1, with neither weapons nor armor? Do you want a tribe of children?

anailater: You have only one adze, and don't expect a baby for a while. And the kids should learn farming about when you can set it up, which won't be for a while.

TopHat: One adze, kids do pretty much just muck about.


Seriously, why do people try to get multiple people to cut trees with one adze? An adze cannot divide into a swarm of littler adzes!

I have two men at the trees, so they can take turns cutting them down. It's tiring work. Plus, it's easier to stack logs with two people.

And for them miners as well, they can take turns mining, while the other's rest/search for loose ores/rocks/gem-stones/cool stuff.

Fair enough.

Changed...... again.

Looks good, although I'd like to ask why you need people to be good at running. Just in case?

Awesome. Now I just need a character idea...

>play now

No.
>Load.

Find a fairly alone and sleeping elf, slit its throat before it can react.
Oh, and be quiet.

Sounds unstable.

Couldn't you do a string search for "bronze colossus"?

What the hay is wrong with you guys and the tasty details?
Its like your squeamish about piss, shit and penisvagina, but you arent about racism, mutilation or torturing babies? It dosent add up.

Its like on MCF where people want guns and shit but also PEEVEEPEE AND EDNRENEM B&ND 4EVUR

I believe you mean xenophobia, severing limbs in combat, and stuff that gets you shunned.

Oh. I didnt know

Then Toady is one unsolved piece of sh- equation.

He dosent realise he wont ever have mass appeal on this. So he might aswell add what should be added.

Can you justify adding such disgusting things? Which would also screw up fortress design?
