Wait wait wait, sorry for double post but this deserves it.

Urist McSheriff, who's also my hunter, was actually the one who ended the reign of terror. I just looked at the thing and it was covered in a pool of its own blood, and I had a hunting (not combat, HUNTING report)

I check it and fine that it took him two shots to kill the thing that had been terrorizing my fortress for the past four ingame months.

"The flying +Turkey Bone Bolt+ strikes the Forgotten Beast in the right front leg, tearing the muscle and fracturing the bone!
 The Forgotten Beast falls over!
 The flying +Turkey Bone Bolt+ strikes the Forgotten Beast in the upper body, tearing the muscle and tearing the heart!"

It's official, McSheriff is now the most badass dwarf I've had in a while, especially because hunting is a civilian profession, meaning he did it without getting scared off or being told to do so. In fact, he didn't even consider it "combat", but just another animal to hunt.

Damn. I got here too late. In the future, you can always blind your dwarves!

Started on a magmocalypse device yet? 

(Also, if you're new, you might not know about the DF Gameplay Questions Sub-forum, specifically for questions. Another useful resource is the wiki. Sorry if you already know about these.)

Oh. okay. As to the arena, Ebon weapon results so far

Axes 5 1 v 1 fights, skilled fighter and axedwarf (if there aren't 5, they both died immediately)


Maces

Hmm.. I just realized that I had the molar mass of bismuth bronze. I just changed it to the molar mass of gold, so I should probably retest.

Are you sure they used the ebony logs for the reaction?  When I tried using your original reagent definitions, they made ebony bars, but didn't actually use the logs.

You're right. I changed the color, and I will momentarily change the reaction now that I'm free of school.

Also, would it be good to require glass or some such?

I already found marble, a magma pool, lignite. This embark is actually pretty good!


EDIT:

Houston, we have a problem.

Make Ebon bars does not seem to be on the smelter list. Here's the code:


I think I got the naming of the wood wrong, since I don't really know what I'm doing there.

I reembarked on another world, and its confirmed. No ebon bars. Well, I'm in for the night.

Alright, it will be bismuth bronze. And also, I am unable to find any ebony tree. Does the code seem alright?

I embarked on a tropical scrubland.

All right. Here's ebony.

I shall be testing and renaming the wood or metal. Name suggestions?

It seems to be effective, at least in the arena. Oh, and here's the metal. I made it a tad bit denser than gold, with a little worse of an edge than bronze.
