Do certain dwarves not gain certain attributes? I have a dwarf who is legendary in 3 different skills, but he isn't even "Strong" yet.

I believe the agility, strength and the other one are given randomly once you get enough experience. So you might just be getting really unlucky with your ability levelling.

[Rotinaj]

Yep, as he earned his fourth legendary skill he became strong. Hurray!

[Cheddarius]

Your name is "janitor" backwards.

custom amo or did i do something wrong? this is part  my first "major" mod attempt.
Also if it dose what i think it should launch two darts at a time with a crit boost of one.

Probably a newby question here but oh well.
How does one build a tower, to put it?

Like I have a basic square shape set up with gaps in the middle to let caravans and migrants through for now.
On the corners I want to build up a type of tower to hold my barracks, ammo stockpiles, anything that my military needs.
But building a wall is impossible on top of/next to the wall I've already built.
What resource do I need to build vertical?

[Cheddarius]

Build a floor on top of the wall.

[Garth]

Build a floor on top of the wall.

God dammit.....

[BLitZ]

you need to build stares or a ramp to the upper levels if you use stairs you also need to build a set on the second floor here look at the wiki article  http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Stairs

That's kind of puzzling the way is shown in the pics...

So if I'm just using the b C combination to build them...
I just need to build stairs, then floor, then a wall on the floor, then a floor on top of that wall? I think...

Or does it not matter if the stairs comes first?

[Corinthius]

Normally what I do is build an upstairs/downstairs on floor level. Build another one right above it.

Then build (b C f) floors to cover the area inside the tower. Note that you *cannot* build walls on top of floors, so don't build the floors over the entire thing, leave a one square border around the outside for the next level of walls.

Then build the 4 corner walls spaces.

Then build the rest of the walls.

Repeat.

[BLitZ]

exactly also the diagram on the wiki is a link and has a more complete description just click on it?
also build yore corners before one of the wall tiles next to them because you can NOT build wall diagonally

I decided this is siggable.

umno. not exactly. you build stairs up, so your dwarves can reach floor two. then you build flooring NEXT to the wall-space, and then you build a wall on top of the first wall (walls automatically make "floors" on top of themselves. You can build on this "floor", you cannot build on top of constructed floors)

[Garth]

Ok, I figured out building with materials...
It's just like digging pretty much...
Fancy that...

[Cheddarius]

Oh wow
It seems I was accidentally hilarious or something?
Okay, yeah, I actually meant that as honest advice.
See, I haven't played DF in a while, and I thought walls weren't constructed with floors automatically on top, so I thought that building a floor on top of the wall would let someone build another wall on top of the floor.
Oh well.
