Luckily, you caught me at the end of finals. One year, coming up!

[bp920091]

On the overseer list, give Val the spot before me (ie, shift me down a spot).

I will finish a year... Eventually...

[saltmummy626]

alright, as you wish.

[Valrandir]

thank you bp920091

[saltmummy626]

whoops, almost let this get away from me.

Tahu, are you all good? Ill give him until the end of the day I guess.

[tahujdt]

Yeah, I am, I was just working on my podcast yesterday, then I went to some memorial services today, so I forgot to update.

Not a lot to report, mostly just reorganizing the military and cleaning stuff up.

For melee, would hammers, axes, or spears be the best? Imma make one civvie squad of one weapon type, and one squad of irregulars.

[saltmummy626]

ah good, we dont have to skip. I hate skipping.

as for your weapons, I like spears and short swords, but thats my preference.

Why not both?

What are the rules for more than one weapon, anyway? I know they can't dual-wield, but which weapon will they use first?

[saltmummy626]

I... dont know. I dont have a firm grasp of the military aspect of DF beyond "POINT THE MEN AT THE BADGER AND LET THEM GO!"
I dont have any rules set down for weapons, unless you mean in game feature rules, in which case a dwarf will pick up the weapon they are most proficient in, and if you have them set to pick up more than one weapon, they will grab another and stash it in their backpack if they have one.

Dual-wielding goblinite chunks it is, then.

for a split second I saw.

dwarves should use golbin parts as weapons. beating a goblin half to death would be a great way to get the message that they aren't welcome in these parts across.

I believe axes and silver warhammers are the "best" melee weapons assuming you are training an army from scratch. Otherwise I'd stick with whatever the dwarves are already trained in to save time.
Edit: Lead warhammers are even better, but you can't get those normally, only through strange moods.

[Tsumi]

Are you still taking new players for this? I'd like to give it a go ^_^ I've been wanting to do a succession fort for a while now. ^_^

[saltmummy626]

yes tsumi, you may have a turn! its always good to have more players.

[Tsumi]

Yay!!! Now to finish reading up on everything that's happened so far... So I'm not COMPLETELY clueless... haha.

Just to be sure, this is normal vanilla DF right? no mods I need to download?
