Copper is OK for your military (I used it for ages and my dorfs could take down pretty much anything), but iron is much better. Iron ore is much rarer, but you can always use goblinite (i.e. melting down goblins' equipment).

I have only seen copper twice. I have seen iron more times then I have seen microline.

I would say lucky but I remember a time I embarked on a mountain made of magnetite for like 15 z-levels and at lest 5 other levels were limestone. On the flip side I see copper almost every embark as it is either a shallow metal or a rare deep metal. What pisses me off is galena its everywhere I go. I know silver makes good bolts and hammers but come on! I usually have enough lead bins to last me the life of my fortress!

Make lead flasks to replace waterskins.

Lead bins? Oh boy. Doesn't it take ages to move them anywhere?

Yes, Yes it does. However try them some time and tell me it is hard to reclaim. They barely move on the map. Another bonus is that it is a good use of lead and the dwarfs for some reason don't usually haul it out to pick things up and bring them back.

Gee, I wonder why they don't drag big lead boxes out with them on hualing duty...
