So blocks are better basically? Just take longer to make?

[vassock]

What is the difference between using gold bars to build walls and gold blocks?

value. Gold bars used as building materials increase architecture value by that of gold. Gold blocks increase architecture value by that of gold MULTIPLIED by the block value (5).

This is false; blocks and metal bars have the same value (5 times the material modifier in both cases). Blocks only add value to raw stones, which only have a value of 3 times the material modifier. A wall made of gold blocks and a wall made of gold bars have the same value and are functionally identical. The only use for metal blocks are for the few workshops and buildings that require blocks.

Bars it is then.

Ah. I misunderstood how the value worked. I thought it was bars x blocks x material, not (bars || blocks) x material. Point taken.

Also, with blocks it would be called a "gold block wall," whereas with bars it would just be a "gold wall." So bars are better.

Erm. What does it mean when the DWARVEN civilization "has no important leaders"? I haven't gotten a caravan either...

It means your civ is basically dead. You won't get any dwarven caravans or migrants beyond the first two waves. Your dwarves are all that is left.

I was afraid of that. >.>

How can you create a uniform that uses metal headwear metal armor, etc. instead of metal X or metal Y ?

[Urist Imiknorris]

As far an I know, you'd have to alter the default "Metal Armor" uniform.

Are spears two-handed weapons? Are there weapons that do not allow the use of shields? What about battleaxes?

[Urist Imiknorris]

Full list of weapons, organized by dwarf-usability (two-handed weapons prevent equipping of shields):

Can be wielded by dwarves one handed
Whips
Battle Axes
War Hammers
Short Swords
Spears
Maces
Crossbows
Picks
Bows
Blowguns
Large daggers
Scourges
Flails
Morningstars
Scimitars
Training swords/spears/axes

Can be wielded by most dwarves two-handed*
Long swords

Can be wielded by some dwarves two-handed*
Pikes
Halberds
Two-handed swords
Mauls
Great axes

*Due to deviation from average size, there are dwarves capable of wielding weapons too large to be dwarf-wieldable (two-handed minimum size 62500; compare to average dwarf's size of 60000). These dwarves aren't very common. There are also dwarves too small to wield a long sword in one hand (one-handed minimum size 57500).

I have 1 legendary weaponsmith and 1 legendary armorsmith. How do I make sure that when I ask them to make armor, that they are the ones who make it, besides by turning off everyone else's armor/weapon smithing skills as that is a pain in the ass?

'q' over the workshop and then press 'P' t open the workshop profile, you can set specific dwarves to that workshop or specific skill levels. eg. minimum legendary, maximum legendary.
That way only the dwarves you assign or an available dwarf with the chosen skill levels will work at that workshop.

There is no such option over the magma forge.

You need a manager.

I just downloaded the lazynewbpack 0.31.12, and my dwarfs won't make charcoal, they REFUSE to make charcoal, won't even touch the furnace.

[vassock]

I captured about a hundred goblin enemies. Is it possible to place these cages strategically and use them to attack a forgotten beast? Just how strong are forgotten beasts?

Why are you using the old version? 0.31.13 just came out.
