Kobolds need chewtoys too.

Kobolds need are chewtoys too.

I don't remember them actually ever getting anything other then goblin parts.

If your trade depot is only accessibe via the cavern edges will caravans arrive via the cavern edges?

No.  Caravans will only enter the map by surface edges that the civilization who sent the caravan can reach.  Caravans will happily leave the map by any edge tile, including caverns.

[Demonic Spoon]

Right, thanks.

question: does miasma burn?

question: does miasma burn?

Just a guess, but I think not. !!SCIENCE!!, anyone?

And a question of my own - my liaison wants headgear, and I'm churning that out. Is there any reason to make caps instead of helms, as helms (According to Wiki) are more valuable?

[Demonic Spoon]

IIRC you can wear a cap under a helm? Let me check the wiki.

Edit: Aha! From Armour:

"Example: A helm(30 size,20 permit) means you can put on a mask(20,10) or two caps(10,20), but only two head veils(10,100). Any of these configurations can fit 6 additional hoods if desired.

Example: Wearing a cap(10,15) allows only one face veil(10,100), because they are both [LAYER:UNDER], but an additional combined total of up to 9 head veils and hoods is possible.

-snip-

Adventurer mode follows the arena rules so it is possible to have three chain mail shirts(15,50), a breastplate(20,50), and 25 capes(10,300) on ones upper body plus two caps(or one mask), a helm, and six hoods on ones head.

-snip-

Head
2 x caps
1 x helm
6 x hood "

I just noticed that my "Metal armor" uniform doesn't come with any kind of headwear, is this normal? This explain why my dorfs refuse to wear the steel caps I've got. Have I accidently deleted helmets from the list or has it always been like this?

[greycat]

You must've deleted it.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. These are for export only - helms have higher value, so is there any reason to produce caps instead of them?

[Demonic Spoon]

If it's export only no reason to make headwear at all? Lots of other better trade goods?

[Kay12]

I've got a good agreement on headwear and plenty of surplus leather, so no, I don't think there's anything better.

(besides I always try to fulfill at least some exports asked, it's more fun that way!)

why instead?  make leather/metal helms, and cloth caps.

[Greiger]

Caps can be layered under helmets allowing you to wear a cap and a helmet for some extra protection.  But by themselves caps are inferior because they don't cover as much.  Allowing a chance for a strike to ignore the armor/clothing completely.
