When you throw a weapon like an axe the line that shows it will spin.

If your armor was 50% as good as two other civs and 30% as good as a third, do you really think you'd do well in war? That'd be like trying to engage a rocket-launcher mounted Humvee with a pistol riding a tricycle.

Problem is, that happens for spears as well.

But Elves aren't Vegetarians. They eat people.
So they are humanitarians.

Yep, throwing spears aren't in the game yet, so they spin when you throw them.

Huh.  Does that happen with any kind of attack with a pick, or twisting specifically?

Actually, it's just the "swing" attacks that give you mining skill.  Twisting doesn't train any skill, as far as I can tell.

edit: oh, I think twisting trains wrestling

Twisting would train wrestling.


And yes, using a Pick as a weapon is keyed to the Mining skill, so attacking with a Pick will give you XP for Mining. This is why Ledgendary Miners will happily 1-shot Goblins and Kobolds with their trusty picks.

Just found a screenshot of a semi-recent fortress. Apologies for the weird snippet tool screw-up



I've had 120 migrants since and none called Kivish!

Kivish is the name I get most commonly, I felt, for my first fort or few, rather than Urist. (who were and apparently remain rather uncommon)

Just learned today that you can find '=' and '-' symbols moving around on the travel map, and they represent groups of travelers.
