::I dunno, he might be on to something there. This could be a guide on how to start the game, step by step, without pressing the wrong buttons or accidentally defenestrating either your computer or yourself! --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 13:22, 18 November 2008 (EST) | ::I dunno, he might be on to something there.

:This works for '(material) nuggets'. Platinum, aluminum, gold, copper, etc. While the nomenclature is definitely wrong for ores, the ended cost of the statue is exactly the same based on quality. I don't know if this is a bug or not. --[[User:ThunderClaw|ThunderClaw]] 11:28, 12 December 2008 (EST) | :This works for '(material) nuggets'.

::His objection was its not metal, its still made of stone. That stone is just 'Platinum Nuggets', which is not a *metal*. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 14:27, 12 December 2008 (EST) | ::His objection was its not metal, its still made of stone.

Siege engines the only safe way to deal with the biggest threats you will face, like megabeasts and goblins riding beak dogs as cavalry. | Siege engines the only safe way to deal with the biggest threats you will face, like megabeasts and goblins riding beak dogs as cavalry. | ||

::::And I seriously doubt that if your champions are legendary wrestlers/shield users that beak dogs will get that many hits in. The megabeasts I've fought certainly haven't hit at all, and I would expect them to be better in combat than a beak dog. Even if the champion's armor gets shredded, he'll still have his dodging and blocking to keep him safe, and its not like he's just wearing one suit anyway - armor stacking (chain/plate) is good for you. | ::::And I seriously doubt that if your champions are legendary wrestlers/shield users that beak dogs will get that many hits in.

:::::There has to be a better place for this discussion, but marksdwarves do in fact reload during combat now. At least they do when there is no easily available path to charge the enemy. Build towers, keep ammo in the tower, watch your dwarves go down stairs, reload quiver, and go back upstairs to continue firing. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 03:26, 2 January 2009 (EST) | :::::There has to be a better place for this discussion, but marksdwarves do in fact reload during combat now.
