No talk about chains?

I know ropes are part of restraints, but chains are too. I don't see them inside it all. Oh and nice work. Looks better than my version. --Hugna 19:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

"The best choice of restraint is therefore a good strong metal chain." They're there. :P --DeMatt 19:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
I realized the second i looked below cages. Another stupid action by me i guess. Sorry. --Hugna 19:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Chains versus Ropes

"Ropes, being made of plant fiber and therefore weaker than metal chains, can sometimes be broken by strong dwarves, thus letting them escape and wreak more havoc."

Has this ever been true? The only events I've seen were tantruming prisoners destroying their restraints, but that's just because the restraint was a building, so a chain wouldn't be any stronger than a rope (and not even the metal would matter - tin, steel, and adamantine would be equally vulnerable). --Quietust 20:53, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
