Hi all,

My weaponsmith just crafted an artifact lead mace. Since I've read that blunt weapons made of silver are pretty good because of the weight, I was wondering if this lead weapon actually has a use. Lead is pretty heavy, but also very soft, so I'm just curious

Stick it in a weapon trap, feed it some captured hostiles, and read the combat logs.

Its very good.

Silver blunt weapons are considered great - because we can actually make blunt weapons from silver.

That said, I believe the order of metals 'above' silver for making blunt weapons goes lead, gold, platinum (not sure of the lead/gold order though, but platinum is said to be the best for a warhammer or mace).  Note that steel is also considered good/on par with silver for blunt weapons, particularly when you go up against armoured opponents.

So, give that lead mace to one of your macedwarves, and watch him/her crush the opposition!

Softness of metals is currently not modelled (if I remember correctly), so has no application to DF as yet.

thanks for the replies
