Well, we can determine it from the pathing. If it's the same as an X or Y movement, then it's the same as an X or Y level. Five feet? (Remember, this is *Dwarf* Fortress)
I think it's often assumed that a z-level is as tall as a square is wide (if only because cubes look tidy), but the trouble is that we don't know that measurement either.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Long time lurker.  I registered just to suggest something.  Has anyone tried modding 'pig tail gloves' so that they have the [SKILL:MINING] tag?  That might allow dwarves to mine with what they're already wearing.

Loving this thread, BTW.  This game has the best failure modes.  :)

"Failure Mode" is when you press "Start Playing".

Also, it's already odd enough to see dwarves mine through stone at these speeds, much less with gloves.

The learning curve of the df forums should be equal to that of df itself.

I suggest we construct a smaller tower in the vicinity and use it as an altar to sacrifice enemies in honor of Armok the blood God!

Here at Bay12, we're constantly looking for ways to set the world on fire.

But at least after all the chaos, the weather cleared.

That would be possible if you could get stone...

You could embark with a ton of stone and wood, or import them by selling food and stuff.

Or just change the standard smelter reactions to cheaty ones, as I said.

Can dwarves path properly when flying yet? If so, maybe you really could get one up there.

The smelter reactions wouldn't work because then you would have to regenerate the world to use enable the reactions in the dwarf civ.

Not quite. You can change existing reactions without regenning, you just can't add more.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Question, if one abandons the fort, then reclaims it, is the tower still there?

NI!

Technically, you have to change the raws that are in the save game folder.  Had to mod foxes that way (I wanted them as pets!)
