Picks (Foreign)?!
« on: October 04, 2011, 10:08:05 am »

Hey all

I'd read somewhere that picks are fantastic weapons for the military. I'm making a "miners" military uniform, with picks as thier weapons. The menu, however, has "picks (foreign)" as the only pick-like weapon option.

Will this have an effect on how my military equip themselves? Will they only go for "foreign" picks, or will the ones I've made suffice?

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

Honestly, I think that the only difference is that "foreign" weapons are ones that dwarves wouldn't traditionally fight with.

Foreign picks?

FOREIGN PICKS?!!!

How dare you use foreign picks in tough economic times like these?

Foreign picks are inferior both materially and in the quality of their manufacture.

Foreign picks are made by children in forced labor camps.

You would never catch me using foreign picks.

It's un-dwarflike.

What is undorfy about little humans being slaved to death in furnaces as coal and charcoal (Made from wood, therefor pissing off the elves) are being burned to make digging implements that are then used by the dwarves to murder said humans?

I can understand your not wanting of their HUMAN made goods, but undwarflike is a tad misplaced here.

Then with the army arc, I think, we can go over there. And not come back 'till it's over over there.

Namely, either enslaving or eradicating everything with liberal application of burning

You guys all know what the end result is going to be with my worlds.

Then there will be the "Spiritual" realms added. Then I will do my thing IN HELL

I can't wait for the army arc and the ability to send soldiers off the map.  If it's anything like worldgen battles, then a single highly skilled axedwarf will wipe out ALL the elves!

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

I loved how you did not deny that you actually use them. Nice hipocrisy show, gotta remember that text to later use.

On the other hand, what happens when the dwarven army arrives at a human city at the same time that a bronze Colossus shows up?

In worldgen, battles are done one on one.  This is why you see Tholtig defeating whole armies, because she's fighting one elf at a time, and she's individually better than any single enemy.  Worldgen battles don't allow for ganging up.  Thus, if an army arc battle is the same, one danger room and a steel axe, and you can wipe out the elves!
