Armor and Weapons *Surplus*
« on: July 23, 2014, 03:47:50 pm »

Hi, I got this pit trap entrance, where almost every enemy that pass by died,

after a few years I got a surpluss of armor and weapons, my question is: if I sell all those to the mountainhome traders for almost nothing, Am I helping out to the dwarf war machine??, does the other castles/fortress in the map got the armor/etc ??, or they just dissapear with the merchants ?

on other order of questions, I want to make a trophy room with armor stands and the armor/weapons of my enemys, any thought of how to make it ?

I think only soldiers will store the weapons and armor you assign them in weapon stands and armor racks (and getting them to do so is mutually exclusive with having them wear their equipment always...)
you could always build weapon traps for the weapons though.

Ive seen the "does my exported arms and armour 'assist' the buyer" posted before the 40.x.x release. I posted saying ive seen toadys future of the fortress reply saying "maybe youll see the items you sell to fort x (in fort mode) if you go to fort x in adventure mode, in the shops at fort x, but that the arms and armour being used effectively by fort x after buying them, will be something that gets added in future.

Heres the previous thread.

If you were too read (from your liason) that your dwarven home land was being invaded by elves, could trading weapons to your dwarven brethren help their cause and have a meaningful impact? Would starting a war with the elves help as well?

Off-screen combat doesn't yet take weapon stockpiles into account.
