Great moments with hammers?
« on: April 28, 2010, 05:50:24 pm »

I've seen the results from the weapon testing thread, but I just can't give up hammers.  Even though the bulk of my military are axedwarves, for flavor, I usually give conscripted blacksmiths warhammers.  Anyone have any particularly satisfying moments with hammers?  I'm still waiting for one of my hammerdwarves to send an enemy flying ;).

In 40d, hammers were very satisfying. DF2010's new material and combat system has nerfed them heavily, so go see how the modders are doing with the combat rebalance mod. You may need additional modding (of dwarven strength) to get bodies to truly fly far out.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Ah, thanks!  I just added the community combat rebalance mod to my game.  I can't wait to see the new and improved hammerdwarves in action!
