Adamantine blunt weapons and their uses.
« on: June 28, 2012, 02:26:22 pm »
I want to see how many uses for adamantine blunt weapons we can find.

1. Danger room that is safe for civilians, children, and pets.
2. Training hammers and maces.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Morningstars apparently have [EDGED] attack, so candy would make them pretty strong.

Arena mode testing:

Dwarf 1 bashes Dwarf 2 in the head with her adamantine mace, bruising the muscle, jamming the skull through the brain and tearing the brain!
Dwarf 2 has been knocked unconscious!
The adamantine mace has lodged firmly in the wound!
Dwarf 2 has been struck down.

Dwarf 3 strikes Dwarf 4 in the head with the pommel of her feather wood training sword, bruising the fat!
Dwarf 3 slashes Dwarf 4 in the head with her feather wood training sword, bruising the fat!
Dwarf 3 slaps Dwarf 4 in the head with the flat of her feather wood training sword, bruising the fat!
Dwarf 3 stabs Dwarf 4 in the head with her feather wood training sword, bruising the fat!
Dwarf 3 slaps Dwarf 4 in the head with the flat of her feather wood training sword, bruising the fat!

There appear to be more differences between training weapons and real weapons than just the material density.

Filling a danger room with adamantine weapons would be so costly, though, if you want to go at any decent rate and put 5-10 weapons per tile. Wait, you can't put blunt weapons in an upright spike trap, which is pretty much the whole danger room.

Merchant: "That is EXACTLY what we will do"
Broker: *struggles to stop giggling* "NOOOO!"

The Human Army bashes the Dwaarven army in the head with their *Adamantine War Hammers*, but the attack is deflected by the Dwarven army's *cave spider silk cap*!
The Dwarven Army slashes the Human army in the head with their *Adamantine Short Swords*, shattering the skull and tearing the brain!!
The Human Army has been knocked unconsious!
Human Army has been struck down

the best morningstars are copper, strange as it sounds they've done tests, best combo for some reason, or was it bronze?
