Aethios: /* Armor */

Why do you think this info can't just be kept on the [[crossbow]] page? --[[User:Juckto|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. [[User:VengefulDonut|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. --[[User:Juckto|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. [[User:VengefulDonut|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. <small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:LucienSadi|LucienSadi]]</small>

: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.--[[User:Maximus|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. --[[User:Juckto|Juckto]] 18:27, 14 December 2008 (EST)

:I think it refers to those you embark with. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 22:00, 14 December 2008 (EST)

== Armor ==

Will wearing plate armor reduce the accuracy/damage of Marksdwarves? If so, does the Armor User skill reduce this penalty? --[[User:Aethios|Aethios]] 21:40, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Aethios: /* How much mist? */

I don't have any place to build my own waterfall, so if anyone knows... Is the mist generated by the '''falling''' or by the '''landing''' water? I.e. if it falls sevel levels down, will the mist be generated on every level, or only at the bottom?--[[User:Dorten|Dorten]] 00:07, 14 January 2008 (EST)
:'''Falling''' water generates mist, afaik. (Be warned, falling magma generates magma mist, which is deadly!) [[User:GreyMario|GreyMario]] 15:01, 14 January 2008 (EST)
::You seem to have experimented a bit with [[magma mist]], greymario. Could you help expand the article? [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 19:35, 14 January 2008 (EST)
:::Or, well, last I heard it was deadly, anyway. I haven't needed to make lava waterfalls yet, thank god. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMario]] 16:08, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

== Lava Mist ==

I just started to divert a river into a volcano (magma vent) and every now and then theres a cave in. When that happens, a column of 'Lava Mist' is created... what is this? --[[User:Mabmoro|mabmoro]] 21:42, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

== How much mist? ==

How much mist is generated from falling/splashing water? This seems to be one of those things that either everyone knows and so it's assumed, or nobody knows and never bother to ask. The closest I've been able to get to a real answer is "a column." --[[User:Aethios|Aethios]] 07:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
