I wish we could add sharpened edges to shields...

Or you know, use targes... You know, shields with massive spikes?

We'd still need to be able to add attacks to shields. I tried that once. Didn't work.

They have a bash attack  which is misc. item user

Actually just a generic "strike" as in like using a chair or puzzlebox.

Or someones arm as I've seen...

I just tested if we could make sharpened shields real quick. I altered the knapping reaction to force an edge on a shield. Or rather, return a shield as the product, with [FORCE_EDGE]. It doesn't seem possible, or at least it didn't apply sharp to the shield's name.

Here's the altered reaction

Code: [Select]

[REACTION:MAKE_SHARP_ROCK]
[NAME:make sharp rock]
[ADVENTURE_MODE_ENABLED]
[REAGENT:tool stone:1:ROCK:NONE:NONE:NONE][NO_EDGE_ALLOWED][PRESERVE_REAGENT]
[REAGENT:hammerstone:1:SHIELD:NONE:NONE:NONE][NO_EDGE_ALLOWED]
[PRODUCT:100:1:SHIELD:NONE:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:hammerstone:NONE][FORCE_EDGE]
[SKILL:KNAPPING]
I was able to reuse the new shield in the reaction, even though the reagent shield has [NO_EDGE_ALLOWED] and testing by bashing random critters didn't cause any cuts either. I think edges can only be forced onto small rocks. Though I'd like to know if someone knows for a fact if it's possible, I did test it rather hastily after all.

Being able to sharpen shields would be amazing.

The whole idea of taking out someones throat with an edged shield sounds awesome...

Okay, I downloaded the file. Updates should be coming soon If I can get it to work.

Sweet, don't be too conservative on the screenshots guys

I apologize on that, I've been lazy on my screenshots recently

[Grim Portent]

You can put some screenshots up retroactively, just open up a copy of the save from the end of the year and post some progress pictures up in the last journal entry you wrote Highmax. If you have the time that is. If not then I can some up to give people a more visual idea of how the forts was when you left it.

[highmax28]

That's be best. I have to admit, I kinda rushed

Screenshots of a few spots as they were when Highmax finished:

Our houses:

Its looking real nice, the wood homes look cozy as hell.

[highmax28]

The bottom floor of the armoury will look really odd, just a heads up

[Splint]

You know what, I think I'll sign on for another turn, if that's alright that is.

I would like to participate. This could lead to high levels of fun for my successors though, because I'm quite the noob.
