[Mickey Blue]

In war, there is no cheating, and there is no over-kill: There is living, and dying.

I'd agree largely with Mickey on armor:  Shield, Helm, Chest, Feet are roughly your top priorities (in order).  Siegers like ranged quite a good bit, and no good military dwarf does well when (s)he's too busy leaking fluids.

That is true*, however there is a difference between winning and having fun.  I can build a defense that can break nearly any enemy.. But it may not be interesting or fun to do.  I have far more fun with the challenge of repelling enemies using pure Dwarven ferocity.

*Save danger rooms, they are an exploit of the game mechanics and thus 'cheating' in my mind.  I don't care what others do, but while other means of defense may be too good (cage traps, skinny bridge/pit/arrow/trap combos to make enemies dodge to their death, etc) for me to find them fun, they aren't truly 'cheating.  To each their own though, its not a multiplayer game so I don't really care how people play

Always ensure full coverage when armoring dwarves. A full covered dwarf can take a lot of hits, 2 not full covered go down earlier due to hits to the fleshy parts.
