I've never actually played DF with Truetype text. Maybe I should? It takes up less space and is somewhat more readable, even if I don't use a tileset.

Haha oh wow. My 10 militant dwarves died to 20 incubus invaders. They killed off more than 70 dwarves, but fuck me, as soon as they entered the fort, they decided to go mess with my pasture area... and boy oh boy, what a baaaad idea.
These mammals are HARDCORE I'm telling you. Killed two of the incubi, and the rest fucking SCATTERED OFF. Best cows ever. They should be named lords of this mountain capital.

I made horses war trainable once,they were the biggest waste of time ever I ended up dumping them into the caverns where they kicked each other to death till a FB came along and spewed web over the entire Z-level.
War turkeys on the other hand are hilarious and pretty damn effective,also danger room training a duck.

For a vampire, he seems a pretty swell guy.
Looking through the legends I found a Female Kobold Thief that for 101 years stole from and fought against the goblins finally dieing of old age ,may try finding her heirs and seeing if they are having similar careers.
Also found a Hydra that has made enemies of two Empires the enemies list has to be over 2000 different settlements.

Amazing. Truly a masterwork.
[QUOTE=Lijitsu;45468379]Not really. Artifact weapons get an increase in hit chance over masterwork, but the same damage bonus.

Now, if I had an equally legendary steel weapon, I'd take that without second thought. The only time I'd hesitate is an adamantine warhammer, which would be pretty fucking useless due to it's low weight.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;45469505]That baby [I]deserves[/I] a danger room. Her revenge is must begin[/QUOTE]
She survived to childhood. She can now feed herself, which means she's ripe for all sorts of training techniques that will hone her body and mind into an elf/goblin slaughtering machine.
Also, the proper elves showed up to trade and were assaulted by the goblin-loving elven heretics. Then a werelemur showed up and died right away because it's a goddamn werelemur and is the shittiest werecreature of them all. I hope that after all of that, my trademaster was like "hey, these hamsters sure are nice but could you send like, fucking lions or scorpions or something next time? Thanks."

Wooden swords are worthless. You can try to argue about solid strikes all you want, it's not going to get through any metal armor any invaders bring in. It might be useful for cutting up helpless animals, but anything with any fight in it is going to shred the dwarf using it.

Armor user skill is important for this very reason.

That's great. Adventurer combat is considerably different from fortress combat. You can aim shots in adventurer mode, you just have to hope for the best in fortress. And nine times out of ten, even skills dwarves tend to hit better protected areas.
Embarked between a dwarf town and goblin town, edge to edge. Has an aquifer so I drop a plug. Works, 1z of aquifer... finish that to notice I embarked across a stream from a goblin building and a squad of goblin cross bow men. And yes, we are at war. It is why I chose this spot, front lines!
Hope I can poison the river leadind to goblin territory. Or at least fill it with goblin blood and bodies.

I didn't use a tileset for about a year after I first played. When I did, the square-ness seriously fucked with my perception of everything because I was so used to the rectangular tiles that I had issues building rooms the size I wanted them to be built. So I just stopped using tilesets.

Any way to train your favourite dwarves without them getting unhappy about being drafted?

When they have military skills they'll stop being unhappy about the draft, I think.
