BECAUSE MINERS ROCK.

I'm so sorry for this. It was too bad not to do.

Gentlemen, I suggest we give this man the proper treatment for all nobles with ridiculous demands.  One question remains... Magma, Suicide Booth, or Dwarfapult?

A tough decision, and not a miner one at that.  It's difficult to pick just one of those treatments, but I myself am something of a magma pUrist.

In an attempt to build a track to rail this...
Are a pickaxe and an axe really so different? It might make sense for miners to gain a small amount of axe experience over time, and someone who swings an axe frequently might at least have a vague idea of what to do with a pick...

Of course, this sort of 'connect skills' suggestion could probably include a broader spectrum than just mining/woodcutting/axeusing...

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

I think it would make more sense for miners to just get stronger, and then have that play a role in melee weapon damage.

I'd think the skills required in rhythmically slamming a pointed object into a rock face and the skills required in fighting with an axe are different.

This was a joke thread.  Why are you taking it seriously?

This is already supposed to happen.  It's just that attribute gain is currently broken.

I thought that was the case, but I wasn't sure.

Because I can.
And because it's in the suggestion forum, so it should at least pretend to have a point.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
