Why do you think this info can't just be kept on the crossbow page? --juckto 00:55, 14 December 2008 (EST)
- It's not consistent. All of the other weapon skills have individual pages. Presumably, they could all be merged into weapon or their respective weapon articles, but that seems like a worse solution. The weapon skill and the weapon itself are different things. Also, crossbow seems a bit cluttered with non-crossbow info. Related topics are usually handled with links. VengefulDonut 01:11, 14 December 2008 (EST)
- IMO there are several areas in this wiki where the information is spread over too many "related pages" - in fact that's why I wrote clothing industry, because I was frustrated trying to search everywhere for what to do next. But you have a point with crossbow, so I removed everything except bolts and quivers. --Juckto 18:18, 14 December 2008 (EST)
- What is a category of stuff that you think has too much page splitting? We can have it both ways, actually. Both individual item articles and larger compilations. Like the way the stones are set up. VengefulDonut 22:04, 14 December 2008 (EST)
Starting stock
Inaccurate; I don't believe embarking marksdwarves start out with a bolt/crossbow stock. That'd be ambushers. – unsigned comment by LucienSadi
- I tested this recently; having weapon skills did not give embarking dwarves weapons, but ambusher did give them a crossbow, bolts, and some armor. However, I can't remember if I tested marksdwarf. Nonetheless, I believe LucienSadi is correct here. I'll remove the line from the article for now and double-check it later.--Maximus 10:57, 15 December 2008 (EST)
"and embarking"?
Embark means to leave - are dwarves leaving the fort now? I'll admit I've never played a single fort for a long period. --Juckto 18:27, 14 December 2008 (EST)
- I think it refers to those you embark with. VengefulDonut 22:00, 14 December 2008 (EST)
