...How would you make blocks from broken mugs, tables, and mechanisms?

Lightsabers that chip...?

Anyhoo, don't underestimate the value of chopping off hands and feet before going for the head. I think those are easier; prone colossi can't move or attack as well, in addition to other combat penalties; and of the BC just pushes with its torso and head, it's less dangerous.
Less.

215. Hell, requesting Armok to make BOGEYMEN bogeymen is a real challenge. You know why to fear the ngiht, indeed...

See if you can catch and tame dragons, hydras, rocs, and other Fun critters!

Drop any captured thieves or siegers, as well as "use-impaired" wild animals and maybe dwarves, into a big pit. Make the pit full of bones into some kind of "reminiscing hall," where adventurers can swap tales. You might want to forbid the bodies once they drop, unless you WANT the dwarves to take the ambiance out of the hall.

Make a hall including all of the artifact weapons and armor, as well as neat artifacts. Put the bedrooms for adventurers somewhere nearby (near enough to sleep-walk).

Put a baracks for new militia near the adventurers' area, so that the retirees can laugh at the foolish green people. Maybe also install a childrens' dormitory or something nearby, to inspire them to try and grow up to be heroes.

1. You could still wear t. You might not be as good in it, but it'd still be wearable. (Also, that means a disconnect from protection and skill--the best material for plate armor is also the lightest.)
3. Please reread that sentence. See why I think you're acting like a jerk?
4. Alright, I won't take you seriously...also, what part made it sound like I was trying to imply that I thought I was smarter than you?

...Alright.

I agree that worksplace accidents should be rare and minor. The exceptions to the former would be when un- or low-skilled workers were working. There might be (on average) an accident a month for an unskilled dwarf (assuming all time not spent eating, drinking, or sleeping was spent working), and halve that (or double the time) for each skill level. Accidents would be around annual once they reach Competant (varying, of course, by how much they're actually working). Most workplace accidents would just be bruising, with some cuts here and there. Hm, maybe in that case the frequency would be slightly increased? No matter, I guess, we can work on specifics later. The exception would be in high-risk industries, like mechanics (especially setting up traps), masonry (don't crush your arm!), mining (ditto), smithing (you're working with flaming coals!), and so forth.
As for illnesses, they should usually be minor; in most areas, about the worst you'd get is nausea, vomiting, or dirrhea (if implemented). In savage areas, though, you could catch all sorts of unpleasant plagues (think malaria or AIDS); evil areas would bring horrid plagues, which infect both body and soul; and Armok help you if you enter a terrifying region! Good areas would have mild or maybe beneficial "diseases" (more like eases, you know?), benign areas would have minimal natural illness, and of course this will all go out the window more or less once sphere-based biomes are implemented.

Well, to my knowledge goblins are the only critter with either of those tokens ([EVIL]), so...SCIENCE is needed. (It can only be !!SCIENCE!! if fire is involved somehow, like if you made fire men evil and gave them an entity.
I'd like to see that mod.)

Thanks for what you said about my last post, Hugo.

About spearthrowers: They weren't spears that threw little spears, they were...for lack of a better description, specially shaped sticks that increased the velocity that you could throw a spear at. Leverage and all.

About crossbows: Good thought so far. What are your thoughts about reverse-engineering crude crossbows?

About slower bowtraining making the game too hard: There's always spearthrowers.

About auto-hiders: Neat idea, if it works as intended.
