DF Gameplay Questions / Soldier Mayor
« on: March 27, 2012, 12:12:38 pm »
So, one of my soldiers has been elected mayor. He has his office and what not, and seems happy enough (ecstatic), but is this going to conflict with him being able to fight? I don't really care if it creates problems with him being a parasitic noble, but losing a soldier after years of training would be quite a bummer.

If he can't fill both rolls, is there any way to prematurely end his term as mayor, short of an unfortunate accident?

Thanks.

DF Gameplay Questions / Artifact Iron Buckler vs Steel Shield
« on: March 26, 2012, 11:04:52 pm »
I'm a bit new to DF, and have a question with a fortress I recently started.

One of my Urist McUseless migrants just made an artifact iron buckler, and as glad as I am to morph an Accomplished Cheesemaker into an armorsmith, I was wondering if the buckler was actually useful. I'm not exactly sure what the parameters are around shielding mechanics, but I'm guessing here that a shield offers more coverage than a buckler. Then again, I'm also assuming an artifact iron item will be stronger than a comparable steel one. Is it a reasonable trade off, or should I just let the thing rust?

Thanks.

Edit:
Should probably have specified this, sorry... the shields would currently be used by Axedwarves and possibly later Speardwarves.
