a helpful mnemonic!
« on: December 19, 2008, 11:47:13 am »

to remember how dwarves level up their skills...
Dwarves Need Regal Contraptions So Peasants Train All Experience Points And Gain Maximum Helpful Grandiose Leverage (Dabbling Novice Regular Competent Skilled Proficient Talented Adept Expert Professional Accomplished Great Master High-Master Grand-Master Legendary).

If you think you can do better, go ahead and try. Good luck!  ;D

What about Legendary+2, Legendary+1, Legendary+5, Legendary+3, and Legendary+4. I always get the order confused. ???

 Only up to five. And there is no way to tell than looking at the dwarf's agility, toughness and strength.

Well, on the wiki, it says 5 is the max 'useful' level, but it goes higher.

Mine is a short story about the Trade Depot:

Dwarven Nobles Require Calming, So Peasants Trade.  Angry Elves Propose Arbitrary 'Green' Minimums... Ha! Get Lost.

Heh, this looks like it will become a poem thread. A respectful bow to Zander and Jurph for their postings.

Now, a philosophy on the watery menace:

And here I was going to post a suggestion to cut down on the number of skill levels (with increased xp requirements), but I might just try a mnemonic instead.

Dwarves need ridiculous crappy stuff production to approach even partial ascension, gobbling materials hurriedly manufacturing garbage makes legends.

In these blocks of five, it seems like it would be simple to learn them as "bad / good / great", as follows:

(1) Do Not Re-Claim Stones, Peasants as in, "keep your high-value gems {F}orbidden until you meet a worthy craftsman"

(2) Trade An Exceptional Product Away as in "well, at least I can sell it for a profit"

(3) Glorious Merchandise Helps Grow Legends as in "stuff worth keeping! FINALLY!"
