How do you get your equips?
« on: August 07, 2010, 03:49:44 pm »

I know you usually only start with bronze, but is there any way other than making a fort there and abandoning it to get equips in like, steel?

How do you guys do this?

EDIT:

Just found a dwarf fort with full adamatine.
This'll be fun.

Well, at the moment, they only race with stores are humans, and humans only have bronze arms and armor. So the only ways I can think of other than raiding an abandoned fort are


1) Starting as a dwarf, they SHOULD be able to start with steel but I'm not sure.

2) Find a dwarf NPC and steal his armor. But if starting as a dwarf doesn't get you steel armor, these guys probably won't have steel either.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Whenever I start out with a dwarf, my armor is all over the place. I'd have a copper breast plate with steel chainmail, copper gauntlets and leggings, and an iron helmet, and a bronze weapon.
That's why I play almost exclusively human. Bronze everything.

Back in 40d, I modded Orcs to be the same size as humans. Steel gear was simply a matter of going over to a dark fortress and murdering a few of them.

Which was actually very difficult.

Well, I like to reserve this for "Play Now" characters (because of their abysmal starting gear and their low stats, which make getting better gear through combat a bit more difficult). Behold the wonder...
