How are the difficulties of called shots determined in Dwarf Fortress adventure mode

Shops can be identified by the signs next to their door entryways, and can be looked at to determine the type of store.

Additionally, shops can only be found in the larger human towns (which show up in yellow, as opposed to white on the adventurer map).

Adventure mode, as it exists currently, really only has support for Humans and Human towns. This means that finding Steel weapons (there is nothing better) is quite bothersome. There are two ways you can try to get steel weapons, however.

• Get ambushed by Kobolds

Kobolds steal weapons from other civilizations, so they can have steel weaponry if they've been harassing dwarf civs. However, Kobolds tend to starve during Worldgen currently, so you might want to try adding the [NO_EAT] tag to them if you want a non-dead Kobold civ in the first place.

• Find a Night Creature Lair near a Dwarf City

Night Creaturs go out and raid nearby towns, taking the possessions of their victims back with them. If they raid a Dwarven City, this means they have a possibility of having a stockpile of steel treasure in their lair
