The data is a nice start for some statistical analysis I suppose. But I fail to see how bronze colossi fighting is relevant. If you had dwarves do the fighting on one side, it would be far more useful.

Also, repetition is your friend if you want to do research properly.

So I've been doing a little combat research on my own to determine the most effective weapons and attack types for the current release

Some weapons are a lot more effective against the living then a unliving metalic creature.

Plus some weapons are weakened simply by having them in the hands of NPCs. Halberds are a great example
