Artifact pick?
« on: August 09, 2011, 09:10:25 am »

so, out of the 12 artifacts my fort has created, exactly one seems useful, this pick. does it dig faster, or does it merely improve accuracy, like a weapon?

sorry if this has been asked before.

Since it's an artifact, it  may never break.




But if it's stolen however..

it is actually kind of awesome.

This is a steel pick. All blah blah blah. It is encrusted with chalk and encircled in bands of steel. On the item is an image of Romimi Depthsnarl the elf and Esga Pusbuds the hydra in brown jasper. Esga Pusbuds is striking down Romimi Depthsnarl.


fuck elves.

A pick is still a weapon. An artifact steel pick is a skull perforator :D
Assign your legendary miner to the militia and assign the pick as his weapon (with a shield, of course, but with his skill he will bat arrows out of the air with his pick instead of blocking :P)

ok, so, another miner has the pick, and he's not legendary, so i can't assign it to the military miner. i don't see a dump option, and forbidding it did nothing...how do I make this dude drop the damn pick?

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

Make him the military leader instead, and when he inevitably dies the next miner to grab the pick becomes his replacement?

Make the guy a woodcutter or something and disable mining for him.
