Specific Engravings for Armour, etc
« on: March 17, 2011, 09:00:13 pm »
I noticed goblins and dwarves have engravings on their armour that show their civilization, I think at the craftsdwarf workshop, there should be a.

>Engrave Item (select an item or type)
-Engrave Shapes
Rectange
Circle
Star
Square

-Engrave picture
Engrave (works like engraving on walls, but on armour, at random)
Engrave with civilization.

There could also be alot more, I just started some ideas for the selection

You could just make it so when economy arc comes out, the dwarf soldiers will engrave their own armour. What's the dwarf way of saying "I *heart* Mom"?

You could even tie it into Legends. You could then have heroes and soldiers engraving their most prized fights and kills.

"It is engraved with a picture of Dren the Ass Demon being beaten to death by the dwarf M.C.Hammerer."

Critical hit! It's super effective!

"You scratch the Giant Tiger in the Upper Body, tearing the muscle, shattering the right false rib and tearing apart the heart! An artery has been opened by the attack! A major artery in the heart has been opened by the attack! A tendon in the false right rib has been torn!"

I think toady mentioned in a df talk that somewhere in the economy arc he wanted to allow players to choose not only what you could decorate, but the pattern as well.

Also I would love to be able to do this. Just give my legendary axe dwarf personalised adamantium armour decorated with a black diamond image of my civilisation.
