Why is that a problem?  Care to elaborate?  What's wrong with only getting weapons made from the best material?

It's expensive.  I'd rather have much cheaper iron/bronze/whatever bolts/weps.

Ohhhh.

See, you didn't say that.  And that's what the body of your post is for, not the fourth reply.

That's a helpful tone.


Talking about at embark screen. 

You only get steel equipment on the embark screen for weapons in most cases.  That's just how it goes.  The exception is picks, but hey, who cares what they are made of?

Yes it would be cheaper to use copper.  It might be cheaper to just bring copper and smelt it on site.

Grrrrr. The last post I made, being quite clear about embark (Er..I think), people kept telling me that I didn't have them because of what Dwarf nation I picked or something...lol.  It's been bothering me for a MONTH. lol. Thanks.

I thought he meant a wireless WEP key problem at first too, then asked myself, "if he did, why is he posting here?"

This thread is amusing for quite the wrong reasons!

If you go to the raws and take out [METAL_PREF], you'll be able to embark with iron weapons instead, which are slightly cheaper. Might cause your dwarves to behave a little oddly, though.

Try playing as the humies, their equipment is completely different, and is cheap.
