I won't start a war or anything right? --- End quote --- Nah, you'll just miss out on the ability to climb the ranks and get the monarch to arrive. I don't know if you get offered the chance to become a barony again if you decline, though. |

Make 1 crossbow and quiver for each dwarf you want to be a marksdwarf, and a bunch of bolts (whatever material you want) 2. Create a new squad, and when the uniform option pops up, select "archer". Assuming you haven't got bows laying around, they'll pickup the crossbows and quivers + bolts 3. Then create an archery target and 'q' over it to make an archery range. While in the archery range 'q' menu select your squad and press T to train. Another thing you can do is enable the hunting profession and then they can train while hunting too. |

Thanks for that. Im also wondering about these archer towers, the wiki has completely confused me. Can you put it in words that I might understand better? |

Can you put it in words that I might understand better? --- End quote --- A tower is just layers of walls build on top of each other with the stairs inside (if you make it hollow with a door) or the outside, and then fortifications around the top so your archers can fire out without too much risk of being hit provided the enemy doesn't get too close. Once you have a tower, station archers on the top and watch those goblins flee. |
