#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

While i see the balance point of the high end trader, I dont think they are needed. If you do not have every enemy in your world (which you can decide on during worldgen anyways), it's more exiting to start a new game, as you dont run into the same stuff every game. Makes it more replayable.
Kobolds would come to my mind, the little sand people from star wars (just stylewise), or the idead of a mixed race you mentioned before. They could be a traders guild, composed of strong adventurers from all races who sell their loot.

I am unsure if it makes more sense to require archers to crosstrain (because melee and and range is a different training) or to need a single weaponmastery, which they use in melee as well. Think archers are already strong enough, no need to make them supersoldiers in melee as well.

Meph, can you increase the amount of casseritite on maps? So few people get to really know bronze weapons, which are equal to iron, easily.

[Meph]

#1: I like it. It should stay. 1 more refining step for iron. 35 (21.1%)
#1: I dont like it. I want iron directly. 35 (21.1%)

Mh... ^^

@wrex: yeah, can do.

Just wanted to say that I figured out how to properly stockpile netherbark leather, wicker, thatch and bone-blocks. Works nicely in the test version I have.

Edit: Also found out where the duplicate entries in the stockpiles for plate-armor come frome... humans have a plate version of everything as well. (that was to be disable the armory and armor upgrades for dwarves, but still keep plate armor for humans. stupid me)

Edit2: Hundret people voted on the metalworking poll. Exactly half/half for and against the wrought iron. So I have not decided yet. Second question seems to go towards: Keep it as it is, and give different names if there is a difference, so I keep it as it is

Hi meph, nice mod, really getting into this one.

Couple of questions for you folks:

I cant seem to build a magma golem forge.  I bought a bunch of hearts from the drow and they are sitting in my finished goods stockpile, but no luck.  Any ideas?  Still says 'Need Golem Heart'

Also how do I process or otherwise handle the goodies that the giants leave me on death?

That's a known bu... I mean feature. The hearts you can get from the drow caravan are not enough, you need to get your own.

The only method i see is iridium sacrifice?  really?  ouch... 

[Cromage]

Are the pet armor reactions bugged? I can't seem to armor pets; the jobs complete but the pets remain the same.

[Ishar]

As far as I know, transformations use syndromes, and you have a chance that the pets/dwarfs don't inhale it. You have a pretty big chance that these reactions fail. the system is far from perfect, but at least it sort of works.

[MoreAxes]

Could someone walk me through the process of making steel? I've already refined hematite into coarse iron and used the reactions in the Crucible to make iron bars, but I can't make steel yet apparently. I have plenty of flux stone (marble), and I'm using charcoal as fuel. Is there something I'm missing here?

[smakemupagus]

you're probably missing the pig iron step

ore -> coarse iron -> iron -> pig iron -> steel

[MoreAxes]

Where can I turn iron into pig iron? At a smelter?

[smakemupagus]

Yes, or alternatively at the Blast furnace.

[MoreAxes]

The blast furnace is what I'm trying to make, it needs 3 steel bars thanks though

[smakemupagus]

Oh, right, I forgot about that   Smelter then!
Try to convert about half your iron to Pig iron, because you then combine the two to get steel.
