<p>Illeist: </p> <hr /> <div>{{quality|Fine|20:28, 24 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}<br /> <br /> '''Cross-training''' is the process of training your civilian dwarfs in military pursuits, or vice versa, and can offer several benefits. First and most importantly, it can be a good way of raising attributes, leading to stronger, tougher, faster dwarfs. Secondly, it provides a handy pool of recruits for when your military takes a beating or gives your civilians a halfway chance of defending themselves. Thirdly, it can provide useful replacements for when your legendary mason accidentally blunders into a troll and gets all his limbs broken. Finally, it's a more productive use of time than standing around idling.<br /> <br /> There is nothing saying you have to use only one of these ideas; they are all various approaches toward addressing these areas.<br /> <br /> ==Cross-training (starting a reserves program)==<br /> The biggest thing to remember with a reserves program is that if you're going to go, you go all the way. Don't institute something "just for a little while" and come up with a handful of novice reservists; they will not get significant stat increases and you'll only waste time. Time is not something you have a heck of a lot of in a reserves program, typically. Remember that after you draft them, most dwarves are going to need about a year of sparring or training before they're ready for heavy combat. You might not have that much time if you are getting sieges regularly.<br /> <br /> ===Different Programs:===<br /> <br /> ====Artillery proving ground ({{L|siege operator}})====<br /> Mass-produce some catapults, line them up near a quarry, and fire away. Works well to dispose of stone from a gulag (see below).<br><br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Trains a skill that's reasonably useful, and provides a place to put all the sub-par siege engine components your {{L|siege engineer}} will doubtlessly create if you're going for superior-quality engines.<br /> *Harasses the wildlife, which is always fun.<br><br /> '''Cons:''' <br /> *Very slow to train (2+ years for legendary).<br /> *Fairly space-consuming to set up a well-designed and usable proving ground.<br /> *Can be dangerous depending on the biome (especially when {{L|elephant}}s are present. If they get winged by a stray boulder, you can bet they're going to be coming straight at you).<br /> *{{L|Siege operator}}s are civilians, and will run in fear when an enemy approaches them.<br /> <br /> ====Internship ({{L|bookkeeper}})====<br /> Turn on highest precision bookkeeping and rotate the appointed noble in and out the second he becomes a legendary bookkeeper.<br><br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Requires no extra infrastructure at all.<br /> *You need a bookkeeper anyway!<br /> *Totally safe; a bookkeeper spends basically all his discretionary time snug in his office.<br><br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Only employs one dwarf at a time; not useful when you have 15-25 candidates for the reserves. <br /> *No announcement when the current intern reaches Legendary status means you can lose time on rotation easily.<br /> *Legendary bookkeepers might leave their successor without work, losing work and experience.<br /> *Is arguably an {{L|exploit}}; some players may want to avoid it on principle.<br /> *Trains very slowly, can take many years to gain legendary<br /> *Produce little to no useful attribute gains.<br /> <br /> ====Internship MkII ({{L|manager}})====<br /> Much like bookkeeping, assign a new dwarf to manager, queue several hundred jobs, and rotate a replacement in as soon as he becomes legendary. For bonus points, queue jobs which need to be repeated anyway, like "Prepare Raw Fish" or "Mill Plants", or jobs for which there is no workshop, like "Make Wooden Bow" or "Make Soap".<br><br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Requires no extra infrastructure at all.<br /> *You need a manager anyway!<br /> *Mostly safe; a manager spends basically all his discretionary time snug in his office, or doing his other assigned jobs.<br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Only employs one dwarf at a time; not useful when you have 15-25 candidates for the reserves. <br /> *No announcement when the current intern reaches Legendary status means you can lose time on rotation easily.<br /> *Produces little to no useful attribute gains<br /> <br /> ====Gulag ({{L|miner}})====<br /> The gulag is basically a strip mine that is located far away from your main fortress (so you don't have to worry about accidentally screwing up your own building plans; if you are careful in planning, it may be placed closer to your fortress). Take a big square and start leveling it; it's really no more complicated than that. Since {{L|pick|picks}} can actually be used as weapons, it's worthwhile to give the reservists who will be working in the gulag picks made out of {{L|iron}}, or, if you are really living large, {{L|bronze}} or even {{L|steel}}. Note that you will have to turn your usual mining corps (the civilian miners who are already experienced with mining) off for this setup to work properly.<br><br /> '''Pros:''' <br /> *Soldiers can be equipped with picks from the military skill, and use the Miner skill in combat - militia squads of highly-skilled miners can provide a decent defence from early threats<br /> *Toting a pick for close-quarters support might make a legendary {{L|marksdwarf}} more useful, since the pathetic bludgeon damage of his {{L|wood}} and {{L|bone}} {{L|Weapon#Dwarf-manufactured Weapons|crossbows}} are less important.<br /> *Can be quite useful for producing stones you might not have access to normally, or uncovering veins of precious metals.<br /> *Levels quite fast in sand.<br /> *Relatively little oversight from you.<br /> *An overland hike to the gulag will fight {{L|cave adaptation}} in your military candidates.<br /> *Can easily be transformed into a {{L|Caverns#Vegetation|underground tree farm}} on suitable maps, providing a safe and replenishable wood source.<br /> <br /> *Mining trains all military attributes, so it's perfect for military training too<br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Juggling your real miners and your reservists when there's real work to be done on the fort can be a chore.<br /> *Hard to keep dwarves in the gulag for too long; they'll inevitably get hungry, thirsty, and tired and start hiking back to the fortress proper.<br /> *Can be dangerous, depending on the biome.<br /> *Does require some amount of oversight from you, especially when your reservists start getting better at mining and run out of work more quickly.<br /> *Low-skill miners may discover---and then partially destroy---valuable gem or mineral deposits.<br /> <br /> ====Renovation ({{L|stone detailing}})====<br /> Another convenient way to buff up your dwarves, assigning your reservists to mass {{L|stone detailing}} duty increases your fortress' architectural wealth and makes the place look nicer. While they may clutter the halls somewhat, it doesn't require any special allocation of {{L|food}}, {{L|Bed|beds}} or {{L|drink}}. Just turn on {{L|stone detailing}} for your reservists and mark up as much of the fortress as you like for renovation.<br><br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Even easier to set up; just assign your dwarves and an area and you're good to go.<br /> *Increases your fortress' value and general happiness.<br /> *Requires no continuous oversight on your part.<br /> *Very safe, if you only assign areas inside the fortress.<br /> <br /> '''Cons:''' <br /> *Wealth overflow may bring too many {{L|immigrants}}.<br /> *Serious conflict with {{L|engraving}} assignments; trying to engrave with poorly trained engravers wastes a lot of wealth that essentially comes from nothing. To avoid this, have periods when you only designate stone smoothing, followed by periods where you only designate engraving.<br /> *Careless designation of smoothing areas may have your dwarves trying to smooth walls too close to {{L|magma}} or a {{L|river}}.<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Sweatshop ({{L|mason}})====<br /> Make one or more {{L|mason's workshop}}s in an area with a bunch of junk stone you don't care about, or that you're actively looking to clear. Change the workshop settings to allow only your reservists to use it, then tell the workshop to churn out crafts, junk furniture, stone blocks, and trade goods that you can trade en-masse. Alternatively, forbid your reservists from working in your real mason's workshops, order lots of stone constructions built, and pray that your real masons stay too occupied with the workshops to intrude. Works well in conjunction with a gulag. Alternate ideas for sweatshops include a {{L|mechanic's workshop}}, {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}}, or a {{L|Glass furnace|magma glass furnace}} to train {{L|mechanic}}, {{L|Stone crafter|stonecrafter}}, and {{L|glassmaker}} respectively. ''Note: Do NOT try this with the {{L|carpenter}} skill unless you have a large supply, or any other resource you don't have in near-limitless abundance. Sweatshops will consume huge amounts of their associated resources, and if you run out mid-way you have probably wasted your time. This includes {{L|coke}} or {{L|charcoal}} used in the normal (non-magma) {{L|glass furnace}}.''<br><br /> '''Pros:''' <br /> *Quantitatively turns a profit. The inferior trade goods can be dumped on the next caravan for more useful commodities like bags, seeds, and logs. Logs are especially useful, since you'll inevitably stamp out lots of bins to support the trade good output.<br /> *Mass-producing blocks makes your constructions higher value.<br /> *Unlike many other training programs, Sweatshops train a skill that is very useful.<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Slow to level.<br /> *Hard to keep the reservists on task, since they'll need to do plenty of hauling to keep their workshop from becoming chokingly cluttered.<br /> *Can be a logistical nightmare; making bins and organizing hauling for the finished goods can be insane if you're working from a gulag.<br /> *Can be dangerous depending on the biome and location of your sweatshops.<br /> *Note also that stone blocks cannot be made into furniture or stone crafts. This may or may not be an issue depending on where you're putting your gulag.<br /> <br /> ====Dwarf Powered Mill ({{L|grower}}, {{L|cook}}, {{L|miller}})====<br /> Start off by creating a surplus of {{L|longland grass}}, {{L|cave wheat}}, and/or {{L|whip vine}} and some bags. Create multiple {{L|quern}} all close to the food stockpile which contains the millable plants. Next to this area make a {{L|kitchen}} assigned to an experienced cook. Enable milling for the dwarves you wish to cross-train and order the cook to make lavish meals. As long as your growers provide a steady supply of millable plants and your cook can empty out bags quick enough, the milling jobs will continue.<br><br /> '''Pros:''' <br /> *Produces a lot of wealth as flour is a high value ingredient<br /> *Produces high amounts of food<br /> *Sustains the training of non cross-training dwarves such as the cook and growers<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Requires a surplus of millable plants to ensure continuous milling, thus you may need to increase the number of plots/growers<br /> *If you don't have enough bags and your cook decides to go on break you may end up having job cancellations for the millers<br /> *Dedicated haulers will be required to keep all workshops clutter free<br /> <br /> ====Clear Cutting====<br /> As long as wood hauling is turned off, dwarves will move from one tree to the next without stopping to bring the wood back. On a heavily forested map, this means that dedicated wood cutters can skill up very quickly.<br /> <br /> Of course, this training strategy isn't going endear you with the elves.<br /> <br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Works quickly<br /> *Trees regrow<br /> *Provides useful lumber to carpenters, charcoal makers, etc <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Can cause problems with elves<br /> *Map dependent<br /> *Unless care is taken to only designate a small area for cutting, trainees and haulers can be spread out across the map while, making them vulnerable to creatures and ambushes.<br /> <br /> ====Dorf Scouts ({{L|ambusher}}, {{L|hunter}}, {{L|marksdwarf}})====<br /> Marksdwarves are an important part of any military. A bum rush of low level marksdwarves is good, but not as effective as an elite backup squad! Here is what you can do:<br /> Draft a comfortable amount of dwarves to hunting, give them all cheap crossbows. Your dwarves should hunt as usual. But you are really training an elite squad of assassins, that will one day hunt goblins instead of groundhogs.<br /> <br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *Easy to start.<br /> *Lots of meat, bones and leather around.<br /> *Aforementioned bones can be recycled to make new bolts.<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *Doesn't work on some maps.<br /> *Hunting is dangerous!<br /> *Not as economically productive as some other methods.<br /> <br /> ====Charm School ({{L|Social skill|Social skills}})====<br /> <i>(Note: Inspired by [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=47533.0 milaga's Real Wagon experiment], details of this technique are still being investigated.)</i><br /> This approach is less useful in the new version, as social skills will only produce "Soul" attribute gains. However, teaching your dwarfs social skills is useful for training replacement Brokers, and can possibly reduce the chances of tantrums in the fort (more dwarfs with high Consoler and Pacifier skill).<br /> <br /> Set up a small space with food, booze, and a few beds/chairs/tables, stashing your new immigrants in it, and locking the door for a few seasons. (Be sure to turn off all of their labors and designate it as a meeting place.) With no labors enabled and nothing to do, they'll chat and party and quickly buff up their comedian, flatterer, conversationalist, &c. skills.<br /> <br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *works on any map<br /> *easy to set up<br /> *trains many dwarves at once<br /> *requires almost zero player oversight <br /> *easily scales to any size of immigrant wave <br /> *requires no resources the dwarves would not already be consuming (food, beds, &c) <br /> *very safe<br /> *no conflict with existing workshops or skills, unlike gulag or sweatshop<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *dwarves gain no professional skills during this time, and their existing ones may rust<br /> *lowers physical attributes due to rust<br /> *produces no trade goods or useful items for the fortress<br /> *produces many romances and tight-knit friendships, which {{L|Tantrum#Tantrum Spiral|put you at risk}} of suddenly having lots of {{L|losing#General Unhappiness|Fun}}<br /> *inter-dwarf personality conflicts can produce early misery and tantrums. This can be prevented with quality furniture and food, and the risk is eliminated once friendships and relationships are formed and producing happy thoughts. <br /> *unless the entrance and path from the exterior are carefully set up, you will probably have to draft new dwarves and station them in the charm school to move them there; this will produce an unhappy thought that can exacerbate the early period of tension<br /> <br /> ====National self-defense training====<br /> ''Note: with the new military system, proper self-defense training is somewhat more complicated to set up, but allows much more effective reservist training once it's running. Make sure you're familiar with the {L|Scheduling} system before attempting this.''<br /> <br /> This is the process of training all your civilians in a basic military skill - or at least, most of them. Any time a dwarf is activated into the military, and they do not have at least Novice level in some combat skill, they get a bad thought. The easiest way to do this is to assign every new {L|migrant} to dedicated training {{L|squad|squads}}, and assign that squad a barracks. Then, schedule these squads to Train one or more months in the year, and set all other months to "No Scheduled Order". Then go to the Squads menu and set the squad to "Active/Training". One month in six or one month in 12 will ensure skills don't get too rusty, as well as ensuring all dwarfs reach a basic level in soldiering. It is worth setting the "Train" order in the schedule to less than 10 minimum; this allows dwarfs to take time out to eat, drink, sleep...<br /> <br /> Then, if they ever get caught where they don't want to be (maybe they bump into a thief coming around a corner, or a flying critter jumps them, or you need to urgently order them out of the path of a magma flood, or send them to the {{L|Lever|control room}} - anything), not only can you activate them with no bad thoughts, but every dwarf has a better chance at not-dying - which can only be a good thing. Moreover, idle dwarfs will now go to "Individual Combat Drill" rather than standing around timewasting.<br /> <br /> Note: if you're feeling cheap, training squads can be set to "No Uniform". This will teach wrestling. However, it's probably a better idea to churn out some training weapons, wooden shields, and leather armour - this will ensure minimal sparring injuries, as well as teaching shield user and armour user.<br /> <br /> '''Pros:'''<br /> *works on any map<br /> *easy to set up<br /> *trains many dwarves at once<br /> *requires almost zero player oversight once set up<br /> *provides a ready supply of recruits for the military<br /> *gives all physical attributes, kinestetic sense, willpower, and spacial sense<br /> *idle dwarfs no longer get the chance to socialise and make friends, reducing the chance of tantrum spirals<br /> <br /> '''Cons:'''<br /> *dwarves gain no professional skills during this time<br /> *produces no trade goods or useful items for the fortress<br /> *produces negative thoughts at the outset (drafting)<br /> *can take dwarfs out of civilian circulation unexpectedly, interrupting crucial projects<br /> *headache to set up, especially with large forts<br /> *requires production of training equipment, using up materials that could be used elsewhere<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Overview===<br /> *The charm school can cross-train many dwarves in the many mental attributes, but produces no useful items, trade wealth, or professional skills. The method is also still being refined and potential pitfalls may still be uncovered.<br /> *Artillery training can give you some siege operators, which will be useful if you have ballistae.<br /> *The internship only trains up one dwarf at a time. Your stocks could also lag behind if you are unlucky.<br /> *The gulag requires planning, and your dwarves in the fortress proper may run all the way to the gulag to grab a stone for some crafts, a chair, etc. It does, however, train your dwarves in mining quickly, which is always a useful skill.<br /> *Renovation is hands-free, but may bloat your fortress wealth too quickly.<br /> *The sweatshop creates a large amount of goods, which can be traded away to keep traders happy. It also increases your wealth by quite a lot, which can be good or bad depending upon your situation. The goods are also difficult to manage.<br /> <br /> Note that the artillery training and internship don't take away {{L|strange mood}} potential (you can give those dwarves dabbling in anything you want and that's how they'll get theirs), while the gulag, renovation, and sweatshop do.<br /> <br /> {{Military FAQ}}<br /> <br /> {{Category|Military}}<br /> {{Category|Fortress defense}}</div>

<p>Illeist: /* Unhappy Thoughts */</p> <hr /> <div>{{quality|Fine|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}<br /> <br /> <br /> Over time dwarves will have different thoughts. In the latest version of DF, the rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by personality modifiers.

<p>Illeist: /* Poison on ammonition/weapons */</p> <hr /> <div>{{L|Weight}} now seems to play a significant factor in determining a weapon's effectiveness. A weapon that is very light ''(made of {{L|adamantine}}, for instance)'' will not be as effective as a heavier one. This needs more research.<br /> -Moved discussion material to the discussion page<br /> [[User:Studoku|Studoku]] 03:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Unfortunately it is a great deal more complicated than just the weight of a weapon. If the weapon an edge(such as a sword or axe) then the shear values of the material used become important. On the other hand, mass seems to be much more important to blunt type weapons such as mauls and war hammers. But it isn't know exactly how any of this works. It is all very unbalanced right now anyway, partly because Toady intends to add item damage to the combat system in the "soon™". Some of the counter intuitive quirks that are observed are because of the incomplete physical modeling. Some are bugs, others are design decisions that seem to stem from compromises in other parts of DF. Explanations of how the weapon/armor/wound system work from Toady are needed to understand what is going on, though a broad understanding may be possible on the basis of empirical testing. Regardless, extensive empirical testing is necessary to establish and test balance issues. It is all very much still a work in progress, especially given the current rapid rate of bug fix roll outs. It might not be a bad idea to start by creating creature like format pages for each of the weapons and materials, sense they are all in the raws now. -[[User:PencilinHand|PencilinHand]] 18:27, 13 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> I propose a table of weapons on this page. The list of weapons from the raws follows. --[[User:StrongAxe|StrongAxe]] 16:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_AXE_BATTLE]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_HAMMER_WAR]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SPEAR]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MACE]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_CROSSBOW]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_PICK]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BOW]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_BLOWGUN]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_PIKE]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_HALBERD]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_LONG]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MAUL]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_AXE_GREAT]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_DAGGER_LARGE]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SCOURGE]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_FLAIL]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_MORNINGSTAR]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SCIMITAR]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_AXE_TRAINING]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_SHORT_TRAINING]<br /> *[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SPEAR_TRAINING]<br /> <br /> == TRAINING WEAPONS ==<br /> <br /> The military system is bugged as hell right now, but given that, how are training weapons '''intended''' to work? It seems like dwarves treat training weapons exactly as any other weapon, and will only train with training weapons if manually equipped or part of their uniform. Is it possible to have dwarves train with wooden weapons and then make a quick switch to real ones in case of an attack without having to wait on the arsenal dwarf to sign off on the changes? -Slothen<br /> --[[Special:Contributions/99.96.100.228|99.96.100.228]] 19:54, 18 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> :As far as I can tell, it's simply incomplete. The only real function you could have for them now is to have separate training squads equipped with them. They seem rather irrelevant considering that the only training I've seen my dwarves do is individual combat drill.[[User:The Architect|The Architect]] 02:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == MOODS & FOREIGN WEAPONS ==<br /> <br /> I had a dwarf make a blow gun via a mood. Is this expected behaviour or a bug? Either way I think it should be noted that you can create foreign weapons via moods. [[User:EvilGrin|EvilGrin]] 23:28, 14 June 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Poison on ammunition/weapons ==<br /> All the underground races wear only spears or blowguns. The blowgun darts poison the attacked creature. How? Cause they are poisoned. And the poison is on the BLOWDARTS! Just Vew them and look at the blowdarts. As far as I saw they have either cave spider venom or GIANT cave spider venom on them. So you can poison you weapons by dropping poison on them, but how? --[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 18:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Dwarves don't have that option. We can extract venom from phantom spiders and cave spiders, but we can't apply it to anything. See [[Extracts]].<br /> <br /> == One handed or two-handed? ==<br /> <br /> It would be helpful if it showed whether weapons were one-handed or two handed on the wiki. I looked in the raws and on each weapon there seems to be a two-handed tag with an accompanying number. I would assume that number is the minimum size at which a creature can wield the weapon one handed, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Also, I recall some talk in the forums about whether there is a bonus to wielding some weapons two-handed, stemming from a test wherein speardwarves without shields fared better than speardwarves with shields.<br /> I'm not sure how the weapon's one handed versus two-handed status would be shown, as it appears to vary based on the race you are playing, but if it can be shown without too much confusion, I feel it would be for the better. A section explaining one-handed versus two-handed weapon use would be useful, if only to have it officially unknown what the effects are.<br /> [[User:Monkeyfetus|Monkeyfetus]] 21:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Mace V.S Hammer ==<br /> <br /> They are both blunt weapons of same size, so what is the difference between the two?<br /> <br /> :Training with a warhammer increases the hammer skill, which is also used by marksdwarves when they run out of ammo and beat their enemies with their crossbows. If your weaponsmith has a preference for either weapon it makes sense to make that one. According to {{L|Item value}}, warhammers are worth twice as much as maces. But whether there's any difference in combat between the two weapons, I don't think anyone can yet say. If there's a difference it should be discernable by testing in the arena.

I did some poking around the RAWs and the stockpile options, and apparently "shell" is treated much like a special kind of bone now. It's a type of inedible tissue that turtles have. You can find it in refuse piles, like bones. If you wanted a custom shell stockpile, you might make a refuse pile that is set to only accept turtle remains. I wonder if butcher shops can separate animal materials... Hope this helps.

You can assign dogs to {{L|cage}}s or {{L|restraint}}s to act as guard dogs.<br /><br /> Guard dogs work particularly well when placed behind a hall of traps or other siege-breaking devices. The traps will prevent aggressive invaders from harming the dogs, while the dogs prevent thieves from sneaking past the traps into the base. (Ideally, the dogs should be out of view of the trap corridor to prevent injury from ranged weapons.)<br /> <br /> You can assign a war dog or hunting dog to a dwarf via his dogs menu ({{K|v}}, select dwarf, {{K|p}}, {{K|e}}) to help him in combat. It will follow the dwarf like a {{L|pet}}. <br /> <br /> '''Note:''' ''Once a dog is assigned to a dwarf it can not be unassigned nor placed in a {{L|cage}}. A work-around for this is, when you train the dog, to use the dwarf you want the dog to be assigned to. Unassigned war dogs and hunting dogs follow the dwarf who trained them, but can still be caged.''<br /> <br /> '''Note:''' ''Unlike in previous versions you can now slaughter War Dogs for food.''<br /> <br /> == Hunting Dogs ==<br /> <br /> ''"A hunting animal will target the creature its owner is targeting if the owner is hunting, and it will be sneaking without a movement penalty if it is reasonably close to its hunting owner. A hunting animal notices creatures from farther away, although this isn't exactly effective if it decides to target what its owner is targeting. It all needs a bit of work, but that is true of hunting in general."'' -[[Toady One]], long before DF2010 <br /> <br /> == War Dogs ==<br /> War dogs do more damage than dogs.<br /> <br /> Against heavily {{L|armor}}ed and armed opponents, dogs (war or hunting) can die quite easily, but that doesn't mean they are "useless." Also, although a wardog is not nearly as dangerous against an armored opponent as an Axe Lord, they occasionally get lucky, and a pack of War Dogs can be very dangerous indeed. They can also be used as walking meatshields, taking hits that would have otherwise injured your dwarves.<br /> <br /> For this reason, some players attach them to any permanent close-combat military, and/or to any dwarf that regularly steps outside. <br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Creatures}}<br /> {{Category|Animals}}</div>

You can assign dogs to {{L|cage}}s or {{L|restraint}}s to act as guard dogs.<br /><br /> Guard dogs work particularly well when placed behind a hall of traps or other siege-breaking devices. The traps will prevent aggressive invaders from harming the dogs, while the dogs prevent thieves from sneaking past the traps into the base. (Ideally, the dogs should be out of view of the trap corridor to prevent injury from ranged weapons.)<br /> <br /> You can assign a war dog or hunting dog to a dwarf via his dogs menu ({{K|v}}, select dwarf, {{K|p}}, {{K|e}}) to help him in combat. It will follow the dwarf like a {{L|pet}}. <br /> <br /> '''Note:''' ''Once a dog is assigned to a dwarf it can not be unassigned nor placed in a {{L|cage}}. A work-around for this is, when you train the dog, to use the dwarf you want the dog to be assigned to. Unassigned war dogs and hunting dogs follow the dwarf who trained them, but can still be caged.''<br /> <br /> '''Note:''' ''Unlike in previous versions you can now slaughter War Dogs for food.''<br /> <br /> == Hunting Dogs ==<br /> <br /> ''"A hunting animal will target the creature its owner is targeting if the owner is hunting, and it will be sneaking without a movement penalty if it is reasonably close to its hunting owner. A hunting animal notices creatures from farther away, although this isn't exactly effective if it decides to target what its owner is targeting. It all needs a bit of work, but that is true of hunting in general."'' -[[Toady One]], long before DF2010 <br /> <br /> == War Dogs ==<br /> War dogs do more damage than dogs.<br /> <br /> Against heavily {{L|armor}}ed and armed opponents, dogs (war or hunting) can die quite easily, but that doesn't mean they are "useless." Also, although a wardog is not nearly as dangerous against an armored opponent as an Axe Lord, they occasionally get lucky, and a pack of War Dogs can be very dangerous indeed. They can also be used as walking meatshields, taking hits that would have otherwise injured your dwarves.<br /> <br /> For this reason, some players attach them to any permanent close-combat military, and/or to any dwarf that regularly steps outside. <br /> <br /> {{gamedata}}<br /> {{Creatures}}<br /> {{Category|Animals}}</div>

You still need to be playing a race able to equip bows though (Elves).<br /> <br /> ==== Arrow ====<br /> An '''arrow''' is just like a {{L|bolt}} but for bows. {{L|Dwarves}} can't handle bows, so they don't need arrows. But in {{L|adventure mode}}, {{L|humans}} and {{L|elves}} can use bows, so they will need arrows if they choose to use one.<br /> <br /> Arrows can also be thrown in adventure mode for about the same results, except that it uses the {{L|thrower}} skill.<br /> <br /> '''See also:''' <br /> *{{L|Quiver}}<br /> <br /> == Large dagger ==<br /> <br /> In Dwarf Fortress, any dagger is "large". '''Large daggers''' are wielded by {{L|Kobold}} and {{L|Goblin}} {{L|thief|thieves}} only.

If an adventurer finds one of these {{L|weapon}}s, they can train with them. Those who use daggers always do {{L|slashing}} damage with them, there is no stabbing for {{L|piercing}} damage. In this game they are basically small {{L|sword}}s, as they can sever limbs as well on a lucky hit.<br /> <br /> These weapons use the {{L|Knife user}} skill.<br /> <br /> == Flail ==<br /> <br /> A {{L|weapon}} comprised of one or more chains with a spiked ball or metal-studded bar at one end and a handle at the other. Does ''slightly'' more {{L|damage}} (8.3%) than the {{L|Morningstar}}, and uses the same skill, {{L|maceman}}. Goblins are known to wield these weapons.<br /> <br /> == Great axe ==<br /> <br /> The Great axe is a large version of the {{L|battle axe}}, doing 36% more damage. Too large for a dwarf to use.<br /> <br /> In fact, this weapon is too large to be used by most races, even though two handed ({{L|Invader}}s tend to ignore this restriction).<br /> <br /> == Halberd ==<br /> A halberd is a long axe or a short pole-arm weapon, doing 27% more damage than a dwarven {{L|battle axe}}. It is two-handed for a human-sized character, but too large for a dwarf to use.<br /> <br /> == Long sword ==<br /> A typical human-sized weapon. 20% more damage than a {{L|short sword}}. Dwarves can wield them using two hands.<br /> <br /> == Maul ==<br /> <br /> The '''Maul''' is a large heavy {{L|hammer}} and is the highest damaging melee {{L|weapon}} in the game, despite being a bludgeoning weapon. It can only be wielded by a {{L|human}}, and even then it requires both hands. It does 33% more damage than a hammer.<br /> <br /> It uses the {{L|hammerman}} skill.<br /> <br /> In fortress mode, {{L|invader}}s can use both a maul and a {{L|shield}}.<br /> <br /> == Morningstar ==<br /> <br /> A '''Morningstar''' is a spiked ball directly attached to a handle. Does less {{L|damage}} than the {{L|flail}}. Damage is identical to the regular {{L|mace}}.<br /> <br /> Uses the {{L|Maceman}} skill. Dwarfs can equip it.<br /> <br /> == Pike ==<br /> <br /> :''For the fish, see [[Pike (fish)]].''[[Image:Pike example.jpg|right|thumb|250px|'''''Pike''' on the right. On the left is what would be called a "halberd" in Dwarf Fortress.'']]<br /> <br /> A '''pike''' is a very long spear. It does more {{L|damage}} than the normal {{L|spear}} by 20%, and still has the same critical boost. Only {{L|human}}s can wield them in {{L|fortress mode}} and, even then, it uses both hands. It is possible to use a pike as a {{L|dwarf|dwarven}} adventurer.<br /> <br /> This {{L|weapon}} trains the {{L|Pikeman}} skill when used in adventure mode. <br /> <br /> For unknown reasons all two-handed weapons, including pikes, can be used one-handed, even by creatures who are smaller than the minimum size needed to use the weapon two-handed.{{verify}}<br /> <br /> == Scimitar ==<br /> <br /> The '''Scimitar''' is a sword with a heavy curved blade. Its statistics are identical to the {{L|short sword}}, but it cannot be made of rock, and {{L|dwarves}} cannot make it at all. They can however use it one handed just fine.<br /> <br /> Uses the {{L|Swordsman}} skill.<br /> <br /> == Scourge ==<br /> <br /> The '''scourge''' is a slightly more deadly version of a {{L|whip}}. Although still doing weak {{L|damage}}, it causes gore damage, which can cause massive bleeding or pain. Effective against living, unarmored {{L|creatures}}. Very weak against non-living creatures.<br /> <br /> It uses the {{L|lasher}} skill. Since dwarves cannot use this skill, it can be melted down or used in a {{L|Trap}}.<br /> <br /> == Two-handed sword ==<br /> <br /> Big sword with high damage, 40% more than a {{L|short sword}}. Too large for a dwarf to use.<br /> <br /> == Whip ==<br /> <br /> A '''whip''' is a {{L|weapon}} that does weak {{L|damage}}, but it causes gore damage, which can cause massive bleeding or pain. Effective against living, preferably small, unarmored {{L|creatures}}. Very weak against {{L|undead}} creatures. Whips are unusable by {{L|dwarves}}, but {{L|goblin}}s use them sometimes. {{L|Human}} lashers will guard their caravan sometimes. A better version of a whip is called a {{L|scourge}}.<br /> <br /> It uses the {{L|lasher}} skill.<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> ''See Also:<br /> :* {{L|weapon}}<br /> :* {{L|dwarven weapon}}s<br /> {{Category|Weapons}}<br /> {{Category|Ammo}}</div>

<p>Illeist: dangers of dodging</p> <hr /> <div>{{quality|Fine|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}<br /> <br /> ''Until more is known about each individual skill, and on the suspicion that much will be parallel and/or related, and so that all information/discussion can be collected in one place (for now, at least), all "combat skills" will redirect here, at least until it becomes more clear if/how we should break them up.''<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> '''Combat skills''' are a collection of different but related skills that, together, all add to a dwarf's melee combat effectiveness. They are, in no particular order:<br /> <br /> :* Fighter<br /> :* Dodger<br /> :* Wrestler<br /> :* Striker<br /> :* Kicker<br /> :* Biter<br /> <br /> Added to these are {{L|Armor user}}, {{L|shield user}}, and {{L|weapon skill}}s (and possibly {{L|observer}}).<br /> <br /> '''Dodger''' is a skill introduced in the latest release of Dwarf Fortress. It aids creatures in avoidance, causing enemies to miss more often.<br /> <br /> Preliminary scanning of combat reports suggest that dodging is very common and effective - assuming that messages referring to dodging are in essence caused by the dodger skill. Dodging can, unfortunately, cause dwarves to fall through z levels into chasms, pits, or water; they do not attempt to avoid dodging into perilous locales.<br /> <br /> <br /> The '''Fighter''' skill increases with each melee attack, no matter what kind of weapon is used, and can increase rather quickly. Its use/significance is currently not known.<br /> <br /> In unarmed combat, a number of techniques are used. Each punch increases the '''Striker''' skill.<br /> Each kick increases the '''Kicker''' skill. Each bite increases the '''Biter''' skill - this is probably the most effective attack for a creature whose biting causes a {{L|syndrome}}, but some {{L|immigrant}}s will arrive with this skill as well, and unarmed combatants will occasionally learn a bit, implying that they chose to bite during a combat.<br /> <br /> <br /> The '''Archer''' skill increases by the use of ranged weapons and throwing. Its use/significance is currently not known.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{skills}}</div>
