How does Attacking other Civs for Artifacts work exactly? Especially regarding military strenght what happens if i send out a Candy Brigade of Top notch warriors into for example a human Kingdom to steal theior Artifact crown of their king, how does the combat play out? do the Candy warriors destroy the enemy if they don't have equally good troops or does it not matter what kind of Dwarf i send out? i looked around a bit and could not find a explenation how this feature exactly works out.

If the question was aimed at Toady, the convention is that you paint it in (lime) green so he can find it when answering.
If I remember correctly, earlier answers have indicated equipment, troop quality, and troop quantity all play a role. However, the dorfs will almost always be significantly outnumbered, so it's not going to be a regular invasion.

Someone already asked that, Toady mentioned that equipment and skill matters. My internet is super slow at the moment otherwise I would try to find you the quote from one of his replies in here.

Also bear in mind that for the most part dorfs are smart enough to know that a ten man squad isn't going to last long in a frontal attack on a dark fortress, population 10,000, so they'll almost certainly go for the sneak in and steal option. Unlike everyone else, we don't yet have access to armies to support our diplomatic efforts.

And yeah, there's something around here somewhere where Toady mentions that equipment will matter in any fights that take place. Can't seem to locate it right now.

Will I be able to hire people to find artifacts for me in Adventure mode?

*edit* Sorry forgot about the green

Lime green is your friiiieeend. Like this.

Nothing has been said about this but I think it's doubtful, depending on how you define "hire". If you want to pay actual coins so that somebody might bring you a trinket, it hasn't been mentioned and won't probably happen until we have a well defined economy that makes sense of that transaction.

However, if what you want is to bring along people in your search for an artifact, just like you ask people to guide you to a place or become performance buddies, then it sounds reasonable enough.

[Shonai_Dweller]

I guess the idea is, as an adventurer you're the squad being sent out to fetch artifacts. Or the mercenary who has to pick up quests for artifacts in town like all the npc questers. You also get to play the spy too trying to root out artifacts with your fake identities.

What Random_Dragon says, in a rather obscure manner, is that the forum convention is that questions aimed at Toady are marked in (lime) green to allow him to find them when answering at the beginning of each month. If your question was aimed at Toady you can just modify your existing post to add the color to it rather than writing a new one.

Yeah I forgot, it was late . The answers I got make sense, I just wasn't sure if he had mentioned it yet. It would make having a base more interesting too.

Now then drunks, listen up. Cut down 30 trees. Build a hut. Set-up a workshop. Now go steal me Crestfallen the Sacred Bone of Knowing. This wondrous object was last seen in the Mires of Hellfire. Giant Elephants roam free out there!

Yeah, that would be kind of fun.

You state that Maps, sites, entities, historical figures, artifacts, myths, etc. will be part of the myth and magic update.
Does 'sites' include more natural sites? I'm referring to an extension beyond the current mountain peaks and volcanos as to include things like stone pillars, groves or tar pits.

Just to recap, npc artifacts (in the next release) will consist of:
1) Crafts made by moody dwarves
2) Holy relics (pieces of dead priests and so on) made (blessed?) by humans
What else? Will Elves and Goblins make artifacts, or are they limited to stealing from dwarves and humans and receiving them diplomatically?
If I have a modded town dwelling civ that has no religion or moods, will they make artifacts?

There are also artifacts named by heroes, so as long as there are heroes in the civ (BEAST_HUNTER and the like), they'll have artifacts.
