Hey, I'll have to see who wrote these starting builds and see if I can't contact him/her, but "About & Challenges" sounds uh... not informational? How about "Overview"? I don't want to edit your work here without your approval (even though I could do so on my own.)

: Feel free to adjust the "About & Challenges" to anything else. It was just something to group one of the blocks of text and encourage others to write similar blocks of text. "Overview" sounds much better. --[[User:Shagie|Shagie]] 22:55, 31 October 2007 (EDT) | : Feel free to adjust the "About & Challenges" to anything else.

:Steel axes are the only axes available on the preparation screen now. Does anyone know if this is a bug or not? --[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 18:47, 1 November 2007 (EDT) | :Steel axes are the only axes available on the preparation screen now.

− | : | + | :Digging speed is not affected by the material the pick is made out of, as explained on the [[pick]] page. Neither are [[battle axe]]s. Therefore, you should just take the cheapest one. I've never been able to pick any axes other than steel either, however. --[[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] 17:33, 10 November 2007 (EST) |

:If you remove the horse and buy 4 of any iron ore and possibly some flux you can get the smithy to start making steel weapons really early. When I played this build the smithy didn't do much after making the picks until the miners had dug out a decent fortress so this could give him something to do--[[User:Praxis|Praxis]] 10:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC) | :If you remove the horse and buy 4 of any iron ore and possibly some flux you can get the smithy to start making steel weapons really early.

Maybe it's (way past!) time we split it up, following the general strategy that other bloated "How to" pages are leaning towards - the main page is theory/general advice, and that ONLY, with a "Design" page with specific (personal) examples. ''(The alternate is trying to split it into two starting skills/starting pages, but too often they're tied together into one concept build.)''--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC) | Maybe it's (way past!) time we split it up, following the general strategy that other bloated "How to" pages are leaning towards - the main page is theory/general advice, and that ONLY, with a "Design" page with specific (personal) examples.
