--- Quote from: Corbiere on December 27, 2011, 08:45:31 AM ---(Double posting for change of topic) How do you tell your training squads what to train with? Currently I have a large stock of sword and a slightly smaller pile of warhammers and they seem to prefer gently tapping each other with the hammers. I want a squad of swordsdwarves :( --- End quote --- You tell them to equip swords in the equipment menu, or assign them a uniform that has swords for a weapon. Also, a bronze colossus makes for bad training. They're big and bronze and will likely kill 90% of the dwarves trying to train on them. |

Human fortress is all sorts of tough. Building purdy houses is tons more time consuming than digging holes in the dirt, I'll tell you that! Luckily the only scuffle my merry band of misfits have dealt with are rhesus macaques, a.k.a dog food. |

Trapping that bronze colossus was the best thing i've ever done! I've told my 10 crossbowman to use wooden bolts and now 7 of them are at legendary (or whatever the max is). should i train another 10 crossbowman to legendary or move to a different type of troop? |
| Captain Crazy:
noice! pretty sure the bronze colossus would hurt your troops if you tried melee, so you might as well stick with ranged. |
| Jacob/Lee:
A bronze colossus' size is 20,000,000 cm3 versus the 60,0003 of the dwarves. You'll end up with some +Dwarf Pancakes+ if you try to train melee fighters on it, so stick with marksdwarves. EDIT: The armies of goblin and snakemen actually started lining up to be shot at the day these bolts were forged... |
