[Dwarf titan]

Hi, I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for quite a while now and have recently gotten into modding the game so I can do some of the basic stuff. Anyway, I was just thinking about adding titanium to the game and I was wondering if anyone thinks if its a good idea and if so what should it do.

Here is the link to the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium

Dig Deeper already involves titanium, and I thought there was another mod that did as well... but I can't find it.

Thanks.

If you like realism, then no adding titanium is not a good idea as the dwarves do not have the level of knowledge or technology to make use of it.

If you want a metal that bridges the gap between steel and adamantine, then sure go ahead.

as far as I know any material that isnt one of the hardcoded types will only have 50% damage, so if you are trying to make a titanium axe with 250% instead of 133% or 500%, you will not be able to.

The metals aren't hardcoded. Their effectiveness is in the raws, and in fact their effectiveness as armor and their effectiveness as weapons are both seperate values, so you can have a material that is, say, 300% effective as vanilla iron when used to make a weapon but only 75% effective when used to make armor.
