Empress Daria and her squad are requesting crowns and daggers of the blue stuff.

[Ruhn]

Copper Daggers already go through armor like butter, so Blue ones truely would be worthy of an Empress and her assassin squad.
However we can't make them without hacks, mods, or a lucky mood?

Grim- do you mean we should put the king's consort into the arena with the necromancer; and have the king watch her die?

I also support dumping the corpses into magma.  Could the ore shoot be used to get them down there quickly?

[Aseaheru]

Every squaddie needs a blue helm. I mean really. One of those saved a KOed dwarf dying from head gnawing with no damage. When the dwarf woke she proceed to kill everything.

So blue helms first.

What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no... Yes. Yes exactly that.

[Monitor Lisard]

Exactly. I noticed that many of the militia members are not wearing helms. I think it's because cloth caps and helms occupy the same layer of clothing. We need dwarves to change their clothes other then wear armor over their usual clothing.

[Aseaheru]

Well, we could always make blue cloth hoods for everyone the hoods go the way of the gobbos.

[Grimmash]

Bodies were easily taken care of.  I went with crushing instead of lava to prevent annoying FPS issues.  As for the blue stuff, one wafer = one unit of material, not one bar, right?  I want to make sure I calculate correctly.

[Ruhn]

Good point.  I found this on the wiki:

"Bars" of adamantine metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars.

Thus we can get 2x more helms than mail shirts.

Changing armor to 'Replace Clothing' would be a good idea, if you get to it.

[4maskwolf]

Yes, wafers are one unit of material.  Not one bar.  Thus, we can actually get THREE times more helms than mail shirts.  A full suit of adamantine armor (which to me is shield, breastplate, chainmail, gauntlets, high boots, greaves, helm) costs 31 bars.  The building materials thing means exactly that: for building constructions.

When using bars, we need:

shield - 1 bar
breastplate - 3 bars
chainmail - 2 bars
gauntlets - 1 bar (it means 1 bar gives us 2 gauntlets)
high boots - 1 bar
greaves - 2 bars
helm - 1 bar

it means that for a full suit of metal armor we need 11 bars, not 31.

Adamantine works differently.  Any given object made of adamantine requires its material size in wafers, not its material size/3.

Don't build shields out of adamantine; it's a waste. The material a shield is made from actually has very little effect on it's ability to block shots, and adamantine isn't the best material for shield-bashing.

I will start with helms for named dwarves and go from there. I think floor one has yielded some 19 wafers, and few ores remain to be processed.  I'm tempted to see if there is another spire, just to try and get as much Adamantine extracted.  With wealth of the fort and our ability to fulfill crafting orders, we should elevate rather quickly.  I am going to prioritize melee fighters for the shiney blue armor.  No offense to Grim and Mask, but they should never really be in the trenches anyway .

There is a curiously square center to our current spire.  I'm also goin to try and build magma aquaduct to surprise any unwanted guests.  I figure tunneling up to the outer square and setting it up with fortifications may allow us to commit an even bigger heist than stealing the kings jewels or his life.

[Aseaheru]

Heh. Flood the underworld with magma...

Then with water...

Then get all the candy...



Candy clothing never degrades, right?

[Grimmash]

I think that metal items that are made into clothing that degrades causes the metal to degrade just like clothing.  So I'm not making any Adamantine thread...
