I have one soldier left.
« on: April 06, 2012, 02:22:43 pm »

After breaching HFS (oops) I only have one soldier, with 17 civs left over, and their is a goblin siege. I still have my legendary weaponsmith though. The one soldier is legendary swordsdwarf but is dabbling shield user. I figure, 2 adamantine swords because you can parry. Would a legendary swordsdwarf block better than a dabbling shield dwarf?

Yup. But it won't block fire. Shields do.

Well I cant honestly answer that myself but you can always run a test in the arena, just remember hes most likely going to be surrounded so try to emulate that in the test runs. ALSO beware the !!BOWMAN!!. I would try and open the gates, let as little as possible inside and close it up again, might even fling a few gobos do their deaths  :P

I watched a zombie dwarf tear off a girls dress and hit her with it so hard it became lodged in her skull.

Oh god this is glorious he just parried an arrow. He's just shredding through them, only a few bruises so far.

He would've done fine with one sword and the other hand nailed to his face.

Yes, you can use weapons as parrying tools when you are legendary enough in their skill.
