Nobles only seem to mandate making one item type per noble
« on: September 05, 2012, 06:57:32 pm »
Noble - "Make Shields, and only Shields." Then to further solidify their stupidity - "Now I forbid you to sell them. Pile that crap over there and just leave it."

They only seem to ask for one type of item to be constructed, and then they often forbid exporting that exact same item. WHY?

Look at the nobles thoughts and preference's screen, you'll find that that particular noble like shields.
Mandates are affected by what a noble likes, so you can tell what nobles are stupidly annoying and which will be totally fine before they start making mandates in the first place.

Shields are pretty useful, so I'd stick with him for a while longer, at least until you have enough for all your military and militia.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

And also damn it I posted in the wrong forum, what's wrong with me? Ugh. Hope a mod either deletes it as I got the info I wanted or move it to a relevant forum.

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

You clearly have a problem, you cause* more succession forts than dwarves drink beer.
That said, I'm in.

*And yes, succession forts are caused, not created.

Shieldforged? Sweet. Now we need to figure out how to solve all of our needs with shields. Maybe a military armed only with two shields per dwarf, and exporting only shields. For a start.

Awesome. What else we can we do? Shield megaweapon. Uh, perhaps a slightly modded shield based weapon? Okay.

This is harder then I thought.

All shield making artifact dwarves must be given awesome lodgings. And all artifact shields are sacred.

Temple to the shield god?

Ooh, I know! Minecarts loaded with shields as a backup weapon!
Mostly defended by dwarves dual-wielding shields, though.

We could make a custom reaction that makes sharp shields. Or mod shields to have edge attacks.

Just so you know in the future but as the OP you have the power to move your thread. Just scroll down to the very bottom of the page and it's in the corner.

The former is possible, the latter isn't.

Maybe he read your other post about wrestlers where people suggested to go double-shielded dorfs + crossbows.

Shield megaweapon.

Quantum stockpile shields on a retractabe bridge over the entrance.  Link to pressure plate.

It's raining shields!  Hallelujah, it's raining shields!
