While helpful, the formatting is giving me cancer.

But I might give you your extra squads.

Yay for extra squads!

At least give us one melee and one archer skeleton squad, please.

Encountered a small issue in 5.05, made some Dreadnaught gauntlets for my skeleton crypt lord (he seems to have a habit of loosing his hands -_-), but I couldnt pick them in the equipment screen, actualy, it didnt let me pick any gauntlets (not sure if I had any others, maybe some from invader loot? made only one dreadnaught pair).

sadly the way my mind works is to spit out all the information.. thats the revised edition i posted.. its not my forte.

more squads would be a freaking godsend, multiple squads of skeletons to station around various guardpoints, if i had dwarf style squads i would put them in groups of 3 or 4 and station / barracks in various places.. actually breach the caverns using that system instead of having a clump of units, as you know training is more effective with smaller squads too...


oh yeah my earlier comment for the tailorshop to have a leather option.. i forgot to mention i meant a TOUGH leather option for clothing =)

Yeah, but you know: This:

Could look like this:

If I'd have dwarf-style squads, I would put them in groups of 3-4 and station them in various places. I'd actually breach the caverns using that system, instead of having a clump of units. As you know training is more effective with smaller squads too.

Adding a tough-leather option to the Tailor would be nice as well.

-.- my mind doesn't operate like neuro normal people. So in that respect i type like i am talking... as if in realtime. blame the years of raiding in everquest 1 without vent and explain everything verbatim to 72+people as quickly as possible without caring for where i put a . or a , or even if the sentence runs on and on.

I Knew A Guy That Typed Like This Just As Fast As Me. because of years of coding...

so yeah.. i thought i did a good enough job editing the guide tho -.-

I can't get skeleton squads to reliably train.

I just started a new warlock fort, and immediately set up a two skeleton squad with a barracks. The first month, they sparred away, but for the six months after that, all they did was "Individual Combat Drill/Resting", and never gained a single skill or did anything else.

[omniclasm]

I was also thinking it would make sense for skeletons to get progressively heavier as you upgrade them. Surely dreadnaught is heavier than bone?

[Meph]

they are.

[omniclasm]

they are.

You sure? Not home right now but i remember comparing a bloodsteel skeleton to a normal one and they were both 7500.

[Meph]

Thats the volume. There is no weight in the raws. The weight is calculated from the materials used in the body, which is literally the metal type you use in the skeleton. Dreadnought is heavier than bone, so dreadnought skeletons are automatically heavier than bone skeletons, while having the same volume.

[omniclasm]

Oh interesting, didn't know it was that deep.

[omniclasm]

Would it be easier if "targeted" reactions had no skill attached?

Like infusing skeletons, and upgrading their skills and stuff. You already have to use a manager and assign them to the building for it to really work correctly, needing to have the correct labor enabled just seems like an additional step that isn't needed.

[Meph]

I could remove the skill... would mean that they finish instantly though.

[omniclasm]

Yeah...I have no idea how to get skeletons to train.

After a year of "training" the highest skill on any of the four skeletons was 4 in swords. And he started with 3. And killed several random snakes. Then a dwarf siege came and killed them all.

They don't actually train, they just stand there resting. I've tried switching squads, making warlocks or ghouls leaders, etc...they still just stand around.

attempting to make a philosphers stone from scratch is a rediclious pain. can it cost like 50 souls or something? (hopeing i get sieged with people wearing the metal i need for my skeletons to go harvest)

I find the best way to go about it is to just get all the dust at the embark screen. The metal dust doesn't cost that much, and in some cases are cheaper than the ore-bearing boulders themselves. You also get many bags for it as well .
