glass can randomly have the edge of copper or the edge of adamantine and everything inbetween.

One thing that is certain though: if you can produce glass, as a trap component, its best to use the spiked ball thing, (3 hits crush damage) and its best to fill them up to 10/10 per trap if you can down a corridor. As your fort ages, this corridor will get more efficient at exhausting your opponents, if they fall on the traps, they get shredded, if they dont, your millatery can usualy knock them over with a feather or bray their heads in when they faint.

Glass currently is pritty useless if you cant produce it, and brilliant as a mass production component if you can. (magma advised, then you only need sand and a magma source and you have an infinate source of trade goods and traps. Green windows are also fairly decent trade goods)

I find the serrated disc component way too powerful, due to massive weapon values. (disc width 100000 depth 4000, giant axe 100000 & 7000, battle axe 10000 & 2800.)
 I like putting spears in my weapon traps. Then again cage traps are supremely powerful :´(

Hey, just a quick question, is it possible to copy paste all the different castes into vanilla dwarf fortress, and nothing else, and have it work correctly?

[arghy]

Yeah its much better to capture 2-3 entire sieges then rigging up a coliseum and watching them go at it--the weapon trap idea sounds fucking awesome esp if you channel the edges all the way down to the 3rd cavern haha 'demon siege! lets just cross this weapon trap bridge...HOLY SHIT FORGOTTEN BEAST EVERYONE DODGE INTO THE CHASM!'

Thanks guys. I thought that glass could be fixed by modding the raws.

And btw I've just finished drawing my new expedition leader Uvash Twistships - she's a stone dwarf with long braided red hair, green eyes and (ta-da!) she is socially crippled by thoughts that everyone is watching and judging her.

Hey, you have a great skill with tablet! You should appear more often in the "fan art" thread, I really dig your style .

Copy the dwarven creature. Don't forget to remove all 2BREASTS, FEMALEGEN and MALEGEN bodyparts. Tada ! It works.

[arghy]

haha is she making alot of mistakes warranting everyone judging her?

[Qinetix]

I got a storage item idea... , the Crate ! You can store anything solid in it , in stacks :3

I wouldn't have a problem with the random edges of glass weapons except for one thing: They should not keep their edge.

Natural, freshly broken glass is, in reality, the sharpest blade known to man, possibly as little as ONE MOLECULE THICK!  Problem is it's very hard and very brittle, so the edge doesn't stay.

Now we need vibrating, acid glass.

Question guys. Has anyone run into a Deep One before in a Genesis Mod game?

[arghy]

no but a deep one sounds neat and i feel i would like a horde of them attacking my fortress

[EveryZig]

I think it counts as honest trickery rather than an exploit to make your enemies dodge off a cliff. It's a perfectly plausible (given that you have the weapon trap in the first place) thing.
