I was sitting back trying to think of a way to comment to those Ideas, and you pretty much nailed it GWG
Even Steel as strong is it seems can fracture and break, that is why when you break weapons you get chunks of metal. in which you can make a crude metal version. Also back then steel/iron swords had tendincies to break because they used nothing but hard metals, hard metal = weak impact yeild = breakage.
A german blacksmith back way back then perfected sword making, by taking hard<soft>hard iron/steel metals and hammering/smelting them together, the outer hard metals kept the sharp edge very well, while the inner soft metal allowed the sword to take impact better by making it more flexible.
I imagin that in DF that technique hasn't been discovered yet and weaponsmiths make a straight hard metal. So kobolds can easily break metal stuff down to craft their own crude versions.
And spear throwing is still in, Perhaps I should swap the machete out for a spear? The weapon would show up in game as "Spear (t)" the "(t)" stating that it can throw spears. But this spear might be a "short spear (t)" with slightly weaker melee stats, so using a normal spear for a pure spearbold is better then just arming every bold with short spears.
Crossbows and Bows
I i'm iffy on crossbows, But I can make vanilla ones too big for kobolds, to encourage the dismantling of them to make smaller ones. But that still involves taking out a squad of crossbow invaders. I might make the Kobold version of the crossbow use arrows, this means you can have your bow and crossbow squads mixed, altho spear throwers will still be their own sqaud least ammo confusion ensues.
But I don't see kobolds with crossbows, but if everyone does, Crossbows ahoy!
Also the Slower archer training is still in debate. I dont want to turn KC from Hard mode to Insane mode.
But another question for everyone. How does a special caste of kobold that can auto-hide, allowing for them to ambush their targets. But since they auto-hide that means they will be in sneak mode constantly which means they would be really slow. So only pure combat bold should have it, and they would even use it in combat which is a bonus? As the kobold fades in and out of the shadows constantly ambushing, acaully it won't be that often It will a monthly thing. so once a month they can "hide"
Questions, concerns, Ideas, general disagreement?
EDIT:
Also Yes but slow mining of all is 9 votes
and No normal KC has 10 votes.
This is a tough one folks.
