cobalt looting
« on: May 19, 2016, 08:59:02 pm »
I am planing a project that is somewhere between mega-project and impossible-project (an above ground fortress made of ebonglass) on my next Ork fort, and have a question: What race is most likely to bring cobalt gear when they attack? Because I will need a massive amount of it for my ebonglass industry...

I'm not really sure, but I like your project :)

i feel like Humans and Dwarves bring cobalt gear, but not a ton.  Above ground fort so you're not allowed to mine for the cobaltite, eh? 
You might be able to trade with, or raid Warlocks for ebonglass directly.

Raiding kobolds should give you cobalt. After all, the metal is named after them. Its the only metal I want to give kobolds access to.

humies- humans, squats are dwarves that GW insists never happened, never-mind they're the justification for an entire pattern of SM armor...


...or are you asking about my tower plans?

No, I mean what are you talking about?

The Ork raiders dry-dock mechanic can cause invasions to happen a lot more frequently than the normal wealth based ones, and if I focus on raiding just the dwarves and humans I can 'import' them fairly reliably...
