It would eb in your best interest to keep tabs on precisely what is being blinged at all times, or your manufacturing speed will reflect all the power and efficiency of Windows '95.

I think that is a really bad idea.

I've actually been keeping most of the kobold copper daggers, then decorating them as trophies.

Don't worry, there's no way any thieves will get in. There is a literal wall of champions standing across the only entrance to the fortress. ;D

By the time it's done the armor is going to be so weighted down with spikes of turtle shell and hanging rings of pig iron that the dwarfs aren't going to be able to move.

That brings up the question, do decorations add weight?

Doesn't look like. Basic weight for a steel plate mail: 1177. With hanging rings of turtle shell: 1177

Or, wiping out Orc forts. It's harder than it sounds. And it sounds pretty hard.

Two naked dwarves... wrestling in the barracks... sounds a bit suspicious to me.

OH GAWD THEY'RE BOTH FEMALE

This brings up another question: Is total bling better than total lack thereof?

If you have enough gems encrusting your armour, you'll blind your enemies with the reflections in the jewels. Then there's a definite advantage to it.

No. You just have to be throughly covered in filth first.

If you have gem encrusted armour they'll probably assume you're a statue and ignore the armoured champion until he starts hacking them apart.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

You gotta do this to all the bolts too. Everyone who escapes alive and with some arrows stuck to them would be rich!

Your armours got jewels that got jewels that got jewels that got jewels that got jewels that got jewels.
This is true bling.

Yo Dawg, we heard you like Bling, so we put some Bling on yo Bling, so you can sparkle while you sparkle.

People burning, booze exploding, the fort is on fire, the countryside has turned to ash.  Its business as usual.
