If it's a matter of playability, short worlds run better and save faster. However, sometimes if you run the game long enough so few will be alive that the speed picks up again.

Could you test dual weapons vs shield ?

the parry rate with a weapon  is decent from what i can see but I dont know If the dwarf get more attacks really with dual weapons

You can't dual wield.

What do you mean by this? Because you can absolutely have Dwarves carry one weapon in each hand by setting up their uniforms appropriately.

No they only use the other weapon IF they lose the other or get gets lodged. 10 (1vs1) times only twice did someone use their 2nd weapon and that was after , 1 lost his right hand (along with the sword) and 1 got the sword lodge in the other. Not once in the report did they use both sword at once.

I did the 'duel' wield test 10 tests (1vs1)
Shields Duel
7/10     3/10

Out of the 10 'Duel' wielders not one used their (steel sword and candy sword) at once, outlier there was 1 mention of parring with a steel short sword followed by pulling at the lodged candy sword, no further mention in the 3 pages of use of the steel sword. 1 finishing move using the steel sword AFTER the candy sword became lodged. 1 juggled between the steel and candy sword after each became lodged.

This makes sense. They would lose their parrying weapon if they used both at once. But after jumping into the arena I took an axe and a sword to the guts by the same guy in one turn.

Does someone know how I get an artefact Bucket out of my hospital?
Even deleting the hospital zone does not make my dorfs haul it back to the artefact vault.

Have you tried dumping it?

I'm pretty sure you can't dump artifacts.

Thats the thing...

Could you build a well close to where you need it, deconstruct and then forbid it?

REXpaint is pretty good.

I'm not sure if it will fit you, but it is pretty good.

Is there some way to mass kill unreachable fliers? I'm not opposed to cheating my way through this bug.

My current world consisted of Two Elven nations, a human nation, an extinct dwarves, some Goblins and my civ. Over the Ten years of play it seems that all the other civs are fighting themselves into oblivion. The Two Titans still exist, If I can get them to visit I might be able to transfer into the age of Dwarves.

Okay.
The military was rushing to position, we were caught with our pants down-- the construction tunnel was open and the military in the caverns. Gobbos and Trolls flooded in, the traps only slowed them down for a moment. But just before they made it to the fortress proper and into the diningrooms, a lone hunter stood against them. He fired his crossbow, killing a troll and bashing another when it got too close. They tore him to pieces, but he bought time for the militia and a swordmaster to arrive. A brave sacrifice.
