copper is not a good edge weapon material though, stabbing with copper should work due to weight, however slashing might not work
a very good post here, from 2010 though, but it clearly shows soft metal edge weapons largely fail against any kind of armor

hmm, if you have a dining room and this is just soldiers complaining about chairs, then i get the feeling a soldier on duty with a backpack might eat his lunch standing, because he was stationed somewhere with no chair/table in sight

if you don't have a dining room, then this should be every dwarf, not just soldiers

huh, that's nice to know, i always thought deep was 20z or something like that

it was really funny when my brother attacked a tame rabbit as an adventurer,, he had to kill over 50 rabbits(THEY swarmed HIM) because becoming the enemy of the civ meant everything became aggressive, including normally "helpless" things like rabbits

i have thought of this, and i always felt that it would be nice to see occational humans(or other races) go:
hey, i like metal, stone, and being drunk at work!
i'm going to move in with the dwarves!

seems like realistically that would happen occationally, and i think it would be fun to see actually happen

it used to be 'no' because most attackers were randomly generated and not historical figure, plus no time actually passes outside the fortress, so noone will notice all the leaders are dead and they should panic

wait, used to be?
isnt it like that now?

and it feels like you forgot a part of what you intended to say

pretty much what Larix said, the world always has flux somewhere, the site finder is broken though and always says no flux no matter what
if you dont feel like using dfhack prospect all to make sure first, you can embark on biome borders to increase your chances

when embarking, look in the lower right corner(i think) where you get the option to press F1 F2 and such, and aim for a lot of these
minerals and ores are distributed seperately for each biome, so borders multiply your chances of getting good stuff

i normally try to embark on four biomes if i can, that way there is usually everything i need SOMEWHERE, it does take more searching though

yep, i had one like that recently, embarked on an evil biome border, and every time i sent dwarves to gather glumprong or sliver barb, every single one i sent was covered head to toe in blisters

fairly mild evil there, much of evil weather is really dangerous, and leads to lots of deaths

i prefer evil border embarks, with just one or two tiles of evil, i have had way too many full evil embarks end instantly due to husk storms on day one before i even had a hole to order my dwarves to hide in
