Total lack of kimberlite in a few layers of granite makes for a sad Max White... No dark blue stuff for meee.

Nor diamonds.

Eh, they just would have gone into encrusting some realy nice bins...

One should always try to encrust Ropes instead. I once had a rope that could make any room Royal. it was wonderful. I chained wild animals to it in the Duke's bedroom.

This is a masterful platinum chain created by Urist McMetalcrafter.  It is encrusted with blue diamonds, red diamonds, black diamonds, white diamonds, and flash opal.

I tried my first .19 fort.  I embarked on a spot with shallow and deep metal.  I found the first cavern before I found tetrahedrite.  Then, troglodytes found my dwarfs and began to kill them.

*sits in childish attention*  Then what happened, grandpa Caveman?  Did the Dwarves win?

YES!! That is what I'm talkin' about! Don't forget Star Rubies and Star Sapphires!

Also good - rope with many GCS silk pictures on it, made of expensively dyed cloth made of expensively dyed GCS silk thread. I think that stuff stacks with encrusting, and isn't just additive.

I love burrows!

[Girlinhat]

Get that, with something like a dragon chained to it, and any owner will insta-gasm as soon as they even think about it.

[Flaede]

Naw, your platinum chain is best. With mine they'll complain it isn't made of the fibre they like, is dyed the wrong colour, and they won't like that picture on it of them surrounded by cave spiders.

By "That" I was referring to platinum chain.  GCS silk ropes get expensive, but are somewhat iffy to actually produce.

Figures. And I'm not at all hurt, btw, since I am in awe of said chain. I hadn't thought of platinum.

However, it isn't so chancey with burrows, since if they are assigned to one, they'll only take things from within the burrow. Makes it pretty easy to use only GCS (and only double-dyed. as per (o)rders menu (w)orkshop settings) for the rope and then only decorate said ropes. With masterwork encrusted masterwork ropes dyed masterfully I got a single item that easily dwarfed all my actual artifacts.

[Girlinhat]

Wait, double-dyed?

[Flaede]

Wait, double-dyed?

You can dye thread, then dye the cloth made from that thread. It stacks well, and all ends up in the base value of the cloth, which then ends up worked into the base value of the item made from the cloth. I don't know what the formula is. Either way, it all stacks in before the multiplying from encrusting it with gems. I'm not actually very knowledgeable about the math for all this, but this is what I think I've seen. I don't know if cloth pictures are just like other decorations (like encrustings), or if they add to base value before the encrusted stuff does its thing.

Copper weapons and armour do better then you might think, especialy against unarmed goblins from cage traps. 

That's really not fair to say.  Newborn babies work well against unarmed goblins from cage traps.  Hell, even the crappy elves do good against a naked gobbo!

Do you know any good ways of pitting a dwarven baby against an unarmed goblin?  I'm thinking that maybe I don't start training my soldiers early enough....
