Throwing a spear before charging in melee is a historic tactic, but it mostly applies to army combat, not the small skirmishes found in fortress mode. It's not a 1 on 1 tactic. So I'm not sure it would be good to include it.

Doesn't mean it can't be implemented, though I'd likely lean more towards having a belt of small axes, or hatchets, for throwing. Just seems more appropriate for the setting.

For dwarves, sure. Goblins would use harpoons, humans would use javelins, and kobolds/animalpeople would have darts or atlatls.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.
